Hello Unity. I hope you're all well and having a great time. Sorry I up'd and dissappeared without saying bye, but was going through a phase where I was so obsessed with getting a drop from an instance - that I couldnt see the tailor for the cloth, the sheep for the wool, the * for the ** and all that. So had to stop playing or go mad (Sadly was mad anyway so not helped there)

Thanks to Stelli 'The sheep herder' and Lucklas 'The Power Ranger' I've been kept up to date with all your raiding improvements and all I can say is WoW (Pun intended), great work on getting into the Tier5 raids and taking them down.

After almost 3months of me not even switching my PC on, I've finally logged into Warcraft, would have done so earlier, but forgot my password and my account name *oops*

At the moment I'm playing with a Shaman, already level 6 after just 2 hours played, so you can tell I'm on a roll (maybe a sandwich!!), hopefully once my fingers get used to hitting the right buttons again I'll be online with my guild characters - Morthane, Morthien, Morsouls (For those who have no idea who this odd person posting is), took me a second there to remember myself. Though may need to level a new Rogue, Pally and Lock just so I can work out how to play them, before I come online and embarrass myself by trying to soulstone the mob and healing the mage instead of the tank :)

Of course that last paragraph won't make any more sense than a Paladin trying to sheep Noob 'The Sheepless' from Anber Sound if my characters have been kicked from the guild *LOL*

Anyways hope to chat / rezz / sap / soulstone you all soon.

Heya, I've been on a break aswell, but my return took a left turn to the category of worse. only a week or so after I reactivated my account I tried to log on but it wouldnt take my password so I did the 'forgot your password' prosedures. When I logged back on my account I found that 4 of my characters was deleted, included my beloved priestes of the moon, Vailez :( and a character named abca was created. Logged on, made a ticket, GM said I had to email blizz. I did and logged back on after 2 days or so, and I was hacked again… reformatted my hard drives and changed my password again, logged in, ticketed them, and after some time I got an email saying this:

Greetings, We are writing to inform you that, unfortunately, we have had to temporarily suspend your World of Warcraft account and place a final warning on it.

Account Name: XXXX
Type of Violation: Involvement in online trading activities.
Investigation Concluded: 30/06/2008
Consequences for Account: Account suspended for 72 hours, Password Reset and Final Warning issued.

It is with regret that we take this type of action, but it is in the best interests of the World of Warcraft community as a whole, and for the integrity of the game. After your suspension has expired, you will be able to access the World of Warcraft servers again.

Please note that should any further violations of our Rules and Policies occur, this will almost certainly lead to the permanent closure of your account.

Online trading refers to the exchange of in-game content for real world money, and includes, but is not limited to, the sale or purchase of gold, the sale or purchase of experience in the form of powerlevelling, and the sale or purchase of honor points, reputation or items.

Account access is the responsibility of the account owner and account sharing is against our Terms of Use (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/legal/termsofuse.html). Therefore, should you believe someone other than yourself (the account owner) has committed this violation of the Terms of Use with your account, these sanctions would still apply, as our action is taken against the account, not the individual.

To protect the account’s security, we have also reset your password and issued you with a computer generated one, which you will receive in a separate e-mail. You will be able to change this password at your leisure, using the Account Management feature on our web site, located at: http://www.wow-europe.com/en/

Your password will be sent from noreplyeu @ blizzard.com. If you do not receive it after one hour, please add this address to your email address list so that it is not rejected by any spam filter you are using, and reply to wowaccountrevieweu @ blizzard.com informing us that you have not received the password.

Please do not disclose your new password to anyone, including Blizzard staff, or change it back to one of your previous passwords as this could result in your account becoming compromised.

We strongly suggest you review our current Rules and Policies to avoid further action in the future, they can be found at:http://www.wow-europe.com/en/policy/

Regards,

Account Administration Team

So dos this mean they think I have been trading with real life money, or is it because the hackers maybe did it? I wish I could get a reall answer, but they havent so far :/

Hi, Vailez.

Sadly Blizzard can be rather lazy when it comes to this issue, and will just punish the account holder regardless.
Based on what they've said 'online trading' sounds like your account was used to either buy or sell gold, most likely selling. With your account used as a go-between.

As long as you've cleaned up your PC you should be ok, but I would suggest you get some anti-virus and anti-spyware software.

But anyway welcome back, and when you get online they should be able to restore your deleted accounts.

Oh Vail, I am so sorry…I would have been on it sooner for you myself, but didn't notice until the second week of weird activity, I hadn't been on much either…and when I did finally log and you never said hi to me (SOB) I knew it wasn't you. Especially as you were constantly on and off Hal (whom you hardly touch these days) I can try and write them a mail for you too. Saying that I contacted you to tell you that I thought your account was hacked… Just forward the mail I sent to you. May help.
Another thing if you are using a router maybe force a new IP address for your computer, as that is another way they can get in if a virus is still pressent. I also copy and paste my password, was a bit of advice a programmer friend gave me in Holland. what you do is in notepad write your password scrambled what I mean is don't type it straight out so if its w1nd0w, write 1 then d and go back and set in the rest of the letters but not in order. And as I did use letters and numbers. Then copy and paste it in when you log on. Apparently this makes it very difficult for keyloggers to get your password. I must say (touch wood) that it has worked for me. I have had several instances where I have found backdoor and other type of viruses on my computer and haven't been hacked yet. Good luck Itty xx

We have a page on ecurity on our Website:

http://wow-unity.wikidot.com/security

It might be worth double checking for Spyware with Spybot (if you have a Windows machine). This usually weeds out any nasty things.

Hope that help.

PS - Just shout if you need any help levelling up or getting yourself up to spec
