You reminded me that i have an unused two month time card at home. :\ I was going to play over break but I decided - for some reason - not to.

:\

Now I have this card. What do?

You can sell it online. I'd offer to buy it from you, but I got a 12-month time card from a friend for Christmas.

What the hell? My boyfriend only bought me a two month time card for Christmas. I feel cheated.

And then we opened the box and there was no card, but we had to wait to replace it, but I got my card. :awesome:

and he bought me a sub because I had to wait daawwww

But still. Three months compared to your twelve months? I think its time for a breakup.

They don't sell 12-month cards, so as far as I know 2-month is the best. So he did he best to keep you hooked.

Too late. I just texted him. I mean, he has a really stressful test in forty five minutes but he should get it before then, so it shouldn't interfere too much.

I can really see why that would work. I have some pretty assburger friends that would fall for that. Thankfully I'm paranoid and never pay for services for things online. Impenetrable defense.

None.

You broke up with him in a text? Dear lord, Kame, that was the best move ever.

Yep. A three and a half year relationship, an eighteen year friendship, silenced with a single transmission.

^ This.

Someone who only looks at the sender field and the email contents would probably fall for it, since the sender does look like the official Blizzard domain. Pretty surprising that you can fake that, which is why I posted this thread in the first place.

None.

What's so surprising about it? The english on the email doesn't even make sense.

Eh, nothing new. I ignore all mails that supposedly come from blizzard because I know I wouldn't be getting mails unless it was a scammer.

Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.

Seriously, this is one of the first rules of WoW. Don't click any links unless it goes to blizzard.com or battle.net.

I've seen email spoofers out there that manipulate the sender field all the time. I've received spam mail from what looks like my own email address in the past.

UndeadStar -- I wonder if that's what happened to me. A returned product (screen) was "officially lost" for a while before being found and refunded. Maybe it would have remained "lost" if I didn't communicate?
