As soon as they were able to get their foot in the door legally, they shut it down. It also sounds like WoW is back into a temporary free-play mode there and the servers are actually still up and running till they figure it out.

Not sure why you're laughing-out-loud at your own statements either... lol, lol?
Codes for in game items have been part of wow since 2007. Ever see a turtle mount? Spectral tiger? LOL
