FYI Blizzard doesn't take kindly to reversed charges and will likely suspend and cancel your account.



Well, I suppose we could sue them for fraud, I am sure they would like that much more. Do you know why they frown on reversed charges? Because it gets reported and gives the offending company a bad rep. Perhaps if they didn't fraud their customers they wouldn't have this problem.



Aside from the fact that it would be extremely impractical to sue over a $15 monthly charge, you cannot sue Blizzard for charging you an extra month beyond the time you ended your subscription. Chargebacks are your recourse.

And who are chargebacks reported to? I doubt that they are reported anywhere. There are TONS of them and many of them are bogus anyway. In fact, I would not be surprised if more than 50% was just a case of the person not recognizing the charge until we looked at it further. It was especially fun when some lady would want to dispute an unknown charge on her husband's card and then when I look it up, the merchant is listed as..... an escort service. That is a fun conversation.

Everyone remember this same thing happening with other MMO's when subscribers started a mass exodus? lol



Xbox live makes it vary hard to cancel auto pay.

Haha, AOL was the hands down winner in that department. (I think I just dated myself) :-)

Blizzard must have poached some talent from Mythic billing team. When Star Wars the Old Republic releases they are going to accidentally remove the cancel button.

In my opinion, a basic precaution when you cancel any recurring online account, and not only WoW or a game, is to also remove your payment details. It's the first thing I did in any MMORPG I've quit, including Rift recently. This way, you're 100% sure they won't, either accidentally or maliciously, take any money from you.

What a surprise.

After ghostcrawler's latest arrogant blog I imagine the cancellation page could not handle the load.

It just means that you can't play on that account until you add some form of payment

I got an email from Blizzard.com telling me Im attempting to sell my WoW account. The email looked suspicious only because some of the sentences didnt really seem "professional". That and they sent it to an email address I havent used for WoW in years.
