Last week, I wrote how my World of Warcraft account was compromised over a wireless network while at a hotel in Washington, D.C. My entire account was emptied of my hard-earned gold and loot. I was left without anything.
I wrote to the support team at Blizzard with complete details of my account and what had happened. They wrote me back telling me that my case would be escalated to the investigation team, and that it could take weeks before I heard back from them.
In the meantime, Riathamus (and my other characters) were decimated.
The good news is that Blizzard responded to my plea for help within 72 hours and completely restored my account to its former glory!
Riathamus is now glad to his armor, weaponry and over 1200 gold back in his account.
Since getting access back again, I have leveled Riathamus to 70, which is the highest level. I used my hard-earned gold to purchase a flying mount and am now enjoying the game on a completely different level.
For those who wrote previously telling me what a waste of time the game is, I say this...
Pffft.
I like to work hard and I like to play hard. If I choose to do it in a virtual world and play a game, that's my call. If you don't like it, you can go pound virtual sand. ;-)
It's Del.icio.us!
Furl It!
