I had my WOW account hacked twice... problem is they hacked the account that was inactive.... So they were greeted with 5 characters on different servers, lv25 with nothing but junk in the inventory since that account was my test account

On a side note I might as well change my details since I still have a SC acc...

Never played it, but I know a friend that does. He won't be happy with the news.

Before, on my WOW server, the n°1 guild that finished all the best High Epic instances get hacked via a keylogger embed in their guild's forum; the next day we saw on the general channel all the high epic stuff of each of the guildmates deleted in Real-time...we were all shocked what happened...but since they looked the other guild with a sense of superiority and disdain, we were not sorry

Things like this are the reason I haven't bought Diablo 3. I loved the first two games, but there is no reason I should have to log in to their servers to play a single player game...
