So, about 9 months ago I quit playing WoW, but didn't close the account, I just left it there.
Now, I receive this message, that I can play 7 days for free before the new expansion - so I'm like "what the hell, I'll give it another shot!". When I change my long-forgotten password, I try to log in via the account management section and I am greeted with this very friendly announcement - [url]https://www.wow-europe.com/account/account-error.html[/url]
I sent a message to Blizz, but why do you think this happened?
It seems you got scammed.
Hard.
You got scammed man.
u were naughty
Yes! Finally another account I can use to farm saronite.

Why do people have to say this a million times before someone gets it:
"When it is too good to be true, don't believe it."
Like, somebody just got 10,000$ from a eccentric pedophile.
haha your gay

If what's too good to be true? Blizzard are currently sending out 7 days free to people who have been unsubbed for a while, so they can suck them in for Cataclysm.
Are they actually sending out 7 days free? Didn't know that. My bad.

My friend got seven days free and he has not been without his subscription since 2005.(Im not kidding)
But you are correct. I have two friends who got the email, and it was legit.
Well it must just be random promotion.
Give us the link that was sent to you in the email

also since you haven't had the account active for awhile they can't do much without putting their own CC on the account.

I agree.
People have to be more optimistic. :smile:
The email is legit, the 7 day free game time shows up on my battlenet account, though rendered useless now.
Hahaha all the people saying he got scammed and have no idea what they are talking about.
GJ guys.

I was the one stating that he was scammed, and I already said that I was wrong.
So late.
It seems there were several breaches in my account security and they will give my account back to me once I send them a confirmation that I no longer have any keyloggers etc. in my PC.
Who would "breach" an inactive account?

Someone who expects it to have good shit?

I got this email as well a long time ago. It was really stupid, as nothing in my account was missing and there was no suspicious activity and none of my characters were ever moved.
i have got to hand it to these tricksters... ive been receiving a few very convincing phishing emails as of late
[QUOTE=Amaurus;26052677]Someone who expects it to have good shit?[/QUOTE]
But it has no game time. If there even was good shit, how could they get it?
They put time on the account themselfs
[QUOTE=Shanto;26077626]They put time on the account themselfs[/QUOTE]
Like my friends account, it got hacked and he ended up getting it back with an 180 day game card on it and 5 or 6 stacks of titanium ore.
Sometimes you get stuff like that when you get hacked, suppose it depends on if the hacker is using it to farm or selling everything to earn gold to send to his farming character.
