As of this morning, I awoke to find several emails from Blizzard stating they had reinstated my account with all items/money returned. That was just after another email saying they had reset my password. I admit the first email made me a little nervous but it did coincide quite well with the following set of emails.
Since then, I’ve logged back into my account, first through the Battle.net website and then back through the game. From what I can tell, everything was returned (including all gemmed/enchanted items) which I wasn’t expecting so that was a nice bonus. Now let me tell you, the ‘Items Restored’ list on Cymre was LONG! The hacker may or may have not been surprised to find that I didn’t have one free bag spot on my gal.
I also managed to get the Core Hound Pup on all my toons so if you were wondering if you can get the pet using a mobile authenticator, there’s your answer. Quite fitting really as he’s ready to spew over any future ‘would be’ hackers, so take that you bastards!
Also to commemorate the occasion, I thought a few screenshots were in order. His idle animations include:
-
Standing on his hind legs howling and yipping
-
Putting his head to the floor and rolling over
-
Fighting over a bone one head digs out of the ground before the same head throws it into the air and swallows it whole
I was originally going to link this video thinking the lyric was ‘Thank you’ for My Happy Ending, except listening to it again, I realised that wasn’t quite the theme of the song. But who cares, it’s my Happy Ending post so I’m just going to pretend she’s singing that instead… it’s a catchy tune anyway.
Did you see that? One of the rares in Searing Gorge made an appearance, all must be right in the world (of Warcraft) :P
Thanks again to everyone keeping tabs on me over the last 24 hours. As Navi said earlier, your comments really did boost my spirits. Blizzard really did a great job getting my account back, including all my items with a special shout out to GM Mazarhai for his efficient service \o/
Awesome. Glad you got your stuff back!
Woot woot!
Good to hear you got everything back!! I was hoping for a post about Thai massage places, but this was better :p
yay! i love happy endings.
I’m sooooo happy for you!!!!!!!!! Woot!!!!!!!!
Sorry I’ve been so out of the loop. I had no idea you were recently hacked! I’ve been there before and was completely devastated. Blizz CS couldn’t even understand what I was saying because I was crying so much!
I’m happy everything was returned and that you’ll continue to WoW and blog :)
Yay! I’m glad you’re back in business and I love the screen shots of you and your pup, he’s a talented dancer!
Glad you’re back, and with some great pics of your new pup! The one with the rare appearance just might be a sign of better things to come.
Yaaaaaay!!!!! =D
Glad to hear you got your things back. /cheer
Yay so happy for you! I am glad they restored all your items! :-)
Woot Woot Oh yeah!
So glad you got all your stuff back!
Your screenshots of your corehound are so cute :)
I love that pet he is always doing the cutest darn things
Hee awesome, that is such great news to wake up to!
Cute pup, too. :P
Love those screenshots of your new pet and I think the pic of Faulty War Golem was really cool!
Damn it I hate hitting post when I haven’t finished writing :(
I wanted to say I commented earlier but couldn’t see the pics but now I can and they were so cool :)
Congrats on a successful restore! I love the Core Hound Pup, too! I like knowing that he is, effectively, a miniature Guard Dog from the Depths of Hell, with two heads that spout lava at intruders and hackers.
Go, Core Hound Pup, Go!
