Battle net WoW Account Scam Email

Posted onAuthorTips Of Tech3 Comments

I keep getting these emails all of the time. Funny thing is, the scams keep going to my email address that I really did register my battle.net account up for. Why is blizzard or battle.net passing out my email address like this ?

 

 

Greetings,

An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that the account in question is being sold or traded. As you may not be aware of, this conflicts with Blizzard\’s EULA under section 4 Paragraph B which can be found here: WoW -> Legal -> End User License Agreement and Section 8 of the Terms of Use found here:
WoW -> Legal -> Terms of Use

The investigation will be continued by Blizzard administration to determine the action to be taken against your account. If your account is found violating the EULA and Terms of Use, your account can, and will be suspended/closed/or terminated.
In order to keep this from occurring, you should immediately verify that you are the original owner of the account.

Account security is solely the responsibility of the account holder. Please be advised that in the event of a compromised account, Blizzard representatives will typically lock the account. In these cases the Account Administration team will require faxed receipt of ID materials before releasing the account for play.

Sincerely,

The battle.net link above is real, but it was masked over the real link which was
“http://us.battle.net.zh-tay.in/login.html?app=wam&ref=https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/&eor=0&app=bam”
Now. If you look at that link in a glance, it could fool anyone. But if you are not one to be fooled or have ever heard of a phishing scam, you know this is a cheap trick. and it probably works, often.

Since I keep getting these scam email trying to get me to give up my battle net account name and password. I am going to quit reporting them to Blizzard and battle.net hoping they are handling and wondering why it keeps happening. I will leave these scam emails out here for you people to raise enough fuss to get battle.net to actually pursue legal action on people committing theft. Maybe they are shutting down the scam sites. Maybe… but they clearly are not catching the people involved. So. for every email I get, I will make a new post.
You don’t want to protect my content better with legal action? then I don’t want to protect you by doing my part the way you say.
GET BENT!

Starcraft II Release Today

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Today is the long awaited day for Blizzard fans. Ten years we hoped. For ten years we lost hope. but today, Starcraft II is released. July 27 2010, we get our second edition of Starcraft.
I will be skipping lunch at work today to locate a place to purchase this game. I will be knocking down console kiddies to get my hands on the strategy game of all strategy games.
I will be protoss I will be terran. I will be zerg.
:-)

Bnet will take a beating today. I will wait for the servers to level out. Battle.Net goofed it last time. So lets see what happens this time, now that everyone is broadband and battle net is on a larger server.

Is Starcraft II The Goliath We Have Expected?

If you remember being in the chatrooms like “starcraft newbies’ or ladder challenges back before bnet split to show regions, you then know just how popular Starcraft was. We all know that what is popular will stay popular as long as people can still see how popular it really is. so we can assume that by splitting us up into so many groups it did make the place not feel as full as it once was. We can hope that Blizzard figured this out.

The greatest event was being nailed with a mass zergling and hydra attack, and being prepared with bunkered behind supply depots backed by a buttload of marines and siege tanks to just own and wipe down the zergs, and having cloaked wraiths to hit the overlords and that big fat crab thing.

I used to play with a name that was fun to kill with and win with. The name was Mass200ScvOwnsU. Really that was hard to do because by default scvs run away. I wonder if they will allow us to make the names they allowed in the beginning using symbols like $^& and “-. Will they have chatrooms again ? The chatrooms made it so you could run lip and make challenges. You didn’t have to chat, sometimes we just spent the whole day jumping into the best bandwidthed available games.

Will the game have the features we loved? Will we have to buy massive processors and ram?

I think we will not have to power it much, so all sorts of people can play this game.

Will we have a monthly fee? I don’t play wow. simply because i hate the idea of pay to maintain, maintain because you paid so much, pay more because you played and invested so much time and money and don’t want to lose players . The redundant cycle of stupid uselessness.

We used to beg for this and Blizzard kept hinting it would never happen. Ten years later and it just might happen soon.

The game that was top seller for three years, the number one played game for two years, the game i played religiously for three years straight, is coming. I am older now. Will i still play?

Damn straight, just hope there is no team speak. I don’t want to hear a bunch of kids screaming at each other and everyone how they they are going to hack or report them for cheating.
