An online game operator has demanded that banned players donate blood to be allowed back into the game. Moliyo, which runs a 3D massively multiplayer online game in China, made the demand after banning 120,000 players who attempted to hack the game, according to gaming news website, 17173.com.
More than 100 players had already signed up to exchange half a litre (1 pint) of blood for game accounts, 17173 reported (in Chinese). The company has also offered free accounts to ordinary players who give blood, the website claimed.
Texyt.com staff were unable to locate the announcement on Moliyo's website, although the company's forum does include a copy (in Chinese) of 17173's story.
According to the announcement, the players must attend a public blood donation drive in the city of Nanjing tomorrow afternoon. Locked accounts will be reopened within 3 days.
Chinese hospitals have had increasing difficulty attracting blood donors in recent years after scandals in which tens of thousands of donors and blood recipients contracted HIV, the virus which causes AIDS. Blood donors in China are usually paid about 12 dollars per donation.
Moliyo arranged the event in an attempt to “create a civilized society, and enhance online gamers' appreciation of social responsibility and public welfare,” according to 17173.com.
The games company banned 120,000 players of the popular game Cabal earlier this month, because they used unauthorized software to artificially boost their standing in the game. Moliyo operates several games in China, including Cabal, and Tales of Pirates.
Vampires in China?
Hmmmm... are there many vampires in China? I guess I might give up one pint of blood to keep playing WoW tho
... or two
lol thats exactly what i
lol thats exactly what i though. sounds like something off of blade for god sake.

stuff
r u for real?!there is no way i would give blood 2 play.An arm or a leg maybe,but no blood.
That's the funniest story I heard today
That's the funniest story I heard today, cheat, and you pay with your own blood!
I agree, quite funny!
Yeah it's a funny story. But in a way, i think it's nice to give a second chance to cheaters (no 3rd chance though!) and to help the hospitals. I think it's a great move by the game company.
More blood please
Wait you have 25 accounts , you will have to be our blood bank.
How much blood can you
How much blood can you donate at the same time? Is 2 or 3 pints safe
this may have already been answerd oo
The human body contians (on avreage)
bout' 7 pints of blood
Lose 6 you die of bloodless (irrefutably and unsavablenessly)
so yeah I'd say 1-2, 2 being a lot, oO 3 being too damn much o:
(for balance and physical things its too much..)
I have donated twice in a
I have donated twice in a week but I am a 300 pound football player so I wouldn't miss 2 pints in a week. Was going to push myself to see how much I could do... but never got the oppertunity.
Re: I have donated twice in a
Um...you can't donate blood more than once every 2 months, dude. It's unhealthy and the Red Cross won't let you do it...
Course, I guess that doesn't stop you from doing it in other locations or possibly in other countries, but if you're doing more than 1 pint of blood or 2 pints of pure cells in a 2 month/4 month period, you could end up being pretty unhealthy.
He probably donated plasma,
He probably donated plasma, which the body replenishes within 24-36 hours. You can donate plasma up to 3 times a week.
Plasma is a very harsh thing
Plasma is a very harsh thing to donate in my mind. I've never had a problem giving blood and I have been doing it for a very long time. However when giving plasma they return everything to you but the plasma, and they replace it with some freakishly cold synthetic stuff. Giving it felt fine, but watching fake blood travel up a tube and steam into your arm where you instantly feel cold is just horrid. BUT!! Donate anyways. Other people need it.
Pathetic...
Pretty pathetic when the gaming industry allows players to pay with their own blood. Just goes to show how desperate or how much power these games have over people, especially if their willing to donate blood/plasma whatever it be. It's just pathetic in it's own sense.
Pathetic?! You call that
Pathetic?! You call that pathetic?
Actually IMHO this a very good action. Because people do not donate blood that much. It won't hurt you to donate some blood... because there are tons of people who need it. And also a very good opportunity to get your ass of the chair (that is often a thing MMO players do very seldom). %)
My applause to the people, who brought this idea to life!
Donate!
I think this is good to make gamers donate, a lot (A LOT) of people need it but the scandals doesn´t sound too good. Silkroad rocks! Check it out!

Well this is new for me, as the matter of fact I am positively surprised with this initiative, very original idea. The question is: how many cheaters would actually donate blood, I am curious to see some statistics about it. This concept should be extended a little bit this would make it even more interesting.

I was shocked to read this article but at the end of the day if playing a game is so important that it could push people to the extend of donating blood not a bad thing there buddy. ONe hell of a strategic move I would say.

Hi
It looks like one hell of a compromise for a game account. But at the end of the day seems like something is done for the community.
