So to top off a kind of shitty day yesterday, where I had to work a 9 hour shift on my day off, a guy came into the back room at work and stole almost $700 of cash, I think my WoW account got hacked. I got a 72-hour ban for using 3rd party exploits, and a notice to say my password was reset.

Awaiting reply from Bliz... :(

Y'all know what I'm thinkin'

Give me a million bucks?

[nebby_99]

Okay, everybody except you knows what I'm thinkin' ;)

[sheepmaster]

Awww. But I wanted it to be that :(

Don't hold out too much hope for your epics, dude. :( That sounds like a hack job to me.

That's the funny thing. I wasn't even playing on any of my 70's. I was on my 47 sham on another server. So I hope that I might avoid having anything sharded...

Once they get into an account and mess up all your gear, they'll generally activate a third party program that does nothing except make Blizz give you a short term ban...this way players don't immediately log in and confirm they've been hacked, instead they have to wait three days before they can log a report, and by then...all the stuff's gone, and the server logs have (possibly, but hopefully not) been deleted.

Or, maybe this is just some kind of fucked-up misunderstanding. That's not uncommon either.

Oh poo. I have already reported it to Bliz. I got booted while playing, and had odd trouble logging back in (ie - it'd keep stopped at random points, and couldn't get onto either server.) But I figured it was just my net connection being wonky, and gave up after a few minutes. Later that night, I got two emails from Bliz - one saying I'd been 72 hour banned, and the other saying that there was a request to change password. I sent an email to Bliz right away saying that I thought I'd been hacked. So, hopefully I won't get fucked over too badly...
