It took a phone call to do it, and they admit there was a &#8220;lack of communication&#8221; when it came to me trying to get ahold of them through emails.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing how I still haven&#8217;t received an email either from them or automatically from the account recovery process, I was forced to call them and ask what&#8217;s the hold up.<\/p>\n<p>They told me that they were afraid someone compromised my&#8230; email address, and if they unlocked the account, it might go back in the hands of the hacker instead of the true account holder; myself.<br \/>\nI never considered this to be the reason why they never sent me a reply that I got my account back.<\/p>\n<p>They asked me to change the password of my primary email address, then after I do, my account will be unlocked. Went through hell due to forgetting the three security answers in order to change said password though my ISP&#8217;s email server.<br \/>\nSo I had to call my ISP to get that straightened out.<\/p>\n<p>About 5-10 minutes later, I got it taken care of and got the password changed and made sure it worked, then called Blizzard again and the account was finally unlocked.<\/p>\n<p>They said they were never trying to &#8216;lock me out of my own account&#8217;. Only the hacker, because they were concerned that I didn&#8217;t take the steps to make sure my computer is safe. I told him I did virus\/adware\/spyware scans before I found out about this and they all turned out negative.<br \/>\nThe reason I did the scans before, was when I was having issues with accessing my Minecraft map&#8217;s backup folder. Lots of studdering happens. Still does it for no reason.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s finally over, my account is unlocked and available for play again. Does this mean I&#8217;m coming back to WoW? Well&#8230; not at the minute. I&#8217;m getting back into Minecraft after a half a week hiatus, and will be explaining what&#8217;s going on there in another blog post.<br \/>\nRight now, I feel like I want to <strong>PaRtY<\/strong> for my account back under my control. Now I can play, whenever I want to. The fact it was locked made me lose sleep at night.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I mentioned to the guy about the hacker got things I didn&#8217;t legitimately collect. He said that I&#8217;m not responsible for what the hacker did to my account, which I find hard to believe. It&#8217;s my fault the guy hacked me.<br \/>\nHe also said about the additional items, to go ingame and make a GM ticket and ask them, and they would let me know if I can keep said items or they will take care of them.<br \/>\nI personally feel, that they will let me keep them. They aren&#8217;t rare drops (though I don&#8217;t know how the hacker managed to get so many Darkmoon Faire cards).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I felt like I went though hell, but they finally unlocked the account.
