Quick note: why is it spring break is drearily cold and hardly a break? Last Tuesday, the day before my real break, I recieved an email from Blizzard advising me my password changed. How strange, I must have forgotten I did that while taking hundreds of calls at work – this cannot be a good thing.
While lauding Blizzard for having an accounts helpline, how come this international company is using a regular-business-hour-only company for their account management. Cut to me at 10PM freaking the hell out because someone is going to steal my level 72 priests Gear; thousands of hours of work down the drain.
This is my despondent face.
Since I had my blackberry I immediately struck out to Blizzard, begging them to lock my account down before something unseemly happens. A friendly Steve M responds asking for some info before he can solve my password problem. About 30 minutes later I’m informed that my account has been deactivated for spamming.
Frak.
Cut to the end of the story, Blizzard very kindly returned all my gear and money from my characters and I am seriously tempted to get blizzards security key that changes the password every minute. We’ll see.
