WoW: We all fall down
Mark’s account has been hacked. That’s what the email from Blizzard said. It also mentioned they had locked his account. Mark believes it started with a visit to a malicious WoW web site. Blizzard requires you to crawl on your knees to South Africa to regain control of your account. Mark is off on that quest. He’s also getting an education in internet security.
As you can imagine, he’s a little pissed about the whole thing. Also concerned he might find all his stuff and characters gone when he get his account back. It’s a terrible thought. I’ve been trying to assure him it doesn’t matter. It’s not the stuff or characters that make it fun to play.
While we await Marks return, Mike and I are trying something different. We are working two characters to the high teens so we can do battlegrounds. Mike is a hunter. I’ve been trying a range of toons figuring out which would be best. I popped into a battleground tonight with my 18 hunter and got myself owned, but it was fun. At the end of the battle I checked the stats and the high scorers, alliance and horde, were rogues. I’ve decided to go with a rogue.
I’m intending to be a major twink, gear, enchants, everything. I suppose everybody will hate me. Doesn’t that sound like fun? I wonder if we can get Mark to start a druid or shaman. That would be fun. Even with a post-hacked account.
