I haven't played WoW in about a year.

Yesterday I got an email that a battle.net account was made in my old WoW email address by a person called Zhang.

Luckily I had switched my wow account long ago to a unique email address that I only used for wow and nothing else at all.

Just checked my real battle.net account and everything looks fine. Somehow they got my old address (they must have stored it for years) that used to be linked and tried to get into my account with it.

So, if anyone hasn't linked their battle.net account to a unique email that ONLY does battle.net, do it now. I'm pretty sure it saved me, not that I have anything in it worth much as I stopped playing before Cat.

I'm surprised you only had one of those emails. They're nothing new.

Authenticator.

Yup I agree but since I don't play any blizzard games anymore theres no point in my getting one.

This was just a reminder for those that have their account on their everyday email address.

Zhang is a busy person.

I got the same message from Blizzard, also sent to Zhang using an account I used to have attached to my WoW account about 4 years ago. It seems fairly harmless unless you click the link to activate it.

Between opening fake Apple stores and gold farming, that poor bastard must NEVER get any sleep!

Obviously, Zhang works for Blizzard and is selling accounts to pay for the B-Team's hookers and beer.

That e-mail is a common phishing attempt trying to get you to click the link.

/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*
*[Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]*
