I’m getting mixed feedback from people who’ve gotten their own accounts hacked – some say Blizzard re-instated everything on their account, others that only the characters were fixed (if deleted, for instance) – and others still that their account was closed permanently by Blizzard.

I guess it comes down to the circumstances surrounding the event. Still no reply to my GM ticket, though.

There are people, bots… vast, cool and unsympathetic… that brute force passwords on mmos to do exactly what happened to you. The question these days isn’t if you’re going to get hacked, but when.

The problem is so bad that blizzard is selling these little USB dongles to increase security. I think that’s silly and extreme. There are lots of ways to increase security without going that route. But blizzard is all about the Lincolns.

I doubt blizzard will be able to help. They are one of those “I’m sorry I can’t hear you over the sound of how awesome I am” companies.

What puzzles me, Holmes, is what someone interested in virtual worlds is doing in a theme park to begin with.

Lovely how their system works.

Good luck
