You receive a completely free game, no strings attached, and complain that you didn't get more? lol where is he complaining he didn't get enough? He's saying he's not interested... "blizzard too cheap to let us get cata for free..." were his words i believe. And is very natural to check wether it's a scam or not, when it's completely free, no strings attached. He's right to feel sus. I'd feel sus. I DID feel sus lol Got the same email. Except it was in my Junk mail. Gotta go make sure it hasn't been deleted yet now.. :D EDIT: i'ts still there. Just checked my bnet account, i got a free 10days trial...no 30 days trial.. | ||

If even a highly intelligent TL member (^^) falls for this then how can you blame other people? ;P | ||

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2065607288?page=1 And the word "we" was not used cos Mike Morhaime is talking here, not BLIZZARD in its entirety. So with battlenet forums pretty much agreeing that this is legit, I'd say it's legit. Or maybe i'm turning into a mindless bronzie bnet zombie. NOOOOOOOOOO | ||

you should check the sender of the email becuase most of the time the head of the mail says @blizzard.com but when you check it a bit deeper it's a hotmail email account | ||

Or when he called them cheap bastards? | ||

I didn't have to enter any sort of account details, battle.net logged me in automatically oO | ||

I see why TL forums are vastly superior to bnet forums now..... I think I realised that within the first 30 seconds I was on this website, lol. Bnet forums are a cesspit. I used to get these sorts of emails all the time before I changed ISP's hence new email address. People wonder why they get hacked haha. Sounds iffy  But if not, more power! | ||

The community is off to a great start, with over four million players worldwide and I'm pleased to report that the rumors of the death of real-time-strategy gaming have been greatly exaggerated. As a thank you for your early support, I've flagged your Battle.net account to receive a free, downloadable copy of World of Warcraft. This is the full version of World of Warcraft that we sell in store and includes a 30-day subscription. Just follow the instructions below to activate it, download the game, and start playing. Again, it's totally free. I'd also be interested in hearing any feedback you may have about StarCraft II: what was fun, what we could make better, etc. So if you have any thoughts, please send them along to SC2-feedback@blizzard.com. Again, thanks for helping us make StarCraft II an epic launch, Joel, and I hope you'll enjoy adventuring in World of Warcraft and connecting with another fun part of the Blizzard community. Yours sincerely, Mike Morhaime CEO & President of money sucking company bla bla bla. Firstly, no real interest in WoW or any other MMORPG, hence I'm playing SC2, but is Blizzard far too cheap to let us get Cata? Like srsly. Secondly, I was nearly shitting myself when I saw "upgraded account". What does that mean?? Special portrait? Special colours/tags/ability to taunt?? Special DISCUSSION CHANNEL? but no, I give u the ability to play a game which 12 million players also play. Cool. Talk about exclusive privileges. Thirdly, I lol'ed at him reporting that the RTS is not dead. Lol. As long as TL is not dead, I doubt that the RTS genre will die. And of course as long as South Korea doesn't get rolled by Kim Jong-Il and his refreshes, the RTS, heck, the GAMING WORLD will not die. But then again stim is legal in North Korea, so maybe. /rant Any thoughts on this generous act of pseudo-benevolence? They give you something for free, they explicitely thank you for supporting their product and all you do is posting an unneccessary, elaborate rant here on TL. What the hell? Sure it's a marketing scheme, but it's a nice marketing scheme. And you're talking down on them like you're something better and you either deserve some really neat extras or they shouldn't bother you at all. | ||

If they wanted to do something like that there would be an official announcement. How the hell can people still fall for this x.x Your sc2 beta test account came by email, didnt it? But I agree blizzard should make an announcement about something like this. Makes ppl like me feel real sus. Btw anyone successfully activated 30 days of WoW yet? | ||
