Adult star and hardcore gamer Mia Rose got bounced from the massive online role-playing game World of Warcraft because she was using a friend's inactive account to play the game.
That's technically a violation of Warcraft's terms of service (TOS), Rose said, although a cursory glance through their TOS didn't turn up anything exactly like what Rose did. In any event, the Warcraft TOS does have a clause that says they can kick players out for any reason whatsoever.
"I am in the best U.S. guild," she told XFANZ. "I worked hard on this fucking video game. It kept me out of trouble."
Adult director Craven Moorehead had started a Warcraft account, only to give up on the game very quickly. Rose got Moorehead's permission to take over his account and went on to spend hours of gametime building a powerful character.
Eventually, a fan figured out she was an adult star, drawing the attention of the Warcraft administrators to her account. They suspended her account indefinitely, although she has been able to play over the last two days.
Rose said that there are dozens of other websites that provide various services for Warcraft players that are all in violation of their terms of service.
"I mean, there is a site where you can buy accounts," she said. "It's all against TOS. Why are they picking on me?"
