Google maps - World of Warcraft mashup

Mapwow.com uses the Google maps API to provide an interactive map of Azeroth, the world
in which MMO World of Warcraft is set. You can zoom in and out and drag to move locations just as with Google maps.
Unfortunately/fortunately the site has received so much buzz and traffic that they had to turn off resource points for
items like mineral ore, herb and treasure locations until they raise the cash for more hosting bandwidth -- if/when
they do, this will be a fantastic resource for WoW players.

1. My friend was over the other day, and I showed him http://www.exploitsrus.com/wow.html It is a site with cheats, bugs, dupes, etc for world of warcraft. He told me it was against the rules for wow to do this. Is this true? I am used to cheating on video games for my whole life, so I was sort of shocked to hear this.
