Retrieving a Sold Account.

[Minstrel]

Hello everyone, I'm a new member :wave:, and hope to contribute more to the community in the long run, and need some help regarding my account.

Back in August, I sold my WoW account to someone over the internet. The person paid, I coughed up the information, including the Account Name, Password, Secret Question and Answer, Email Address, etc.

I have taken a nice long healthy break from WoW and am ready to return, as all of my friends have just gotten back into the game.

I noticed that the person I have sold it to appears to not have done anything with my account, other than let it set, as the characters in the armory have had no updates since the date I sold it.

I sent emails regarding my interest to the buyer, and have received no reply. Now, I would be more than willing to refund my money to this person so I could retrieve my account. However, I am unsure on how to do this because I am unable to contact the person.

I know all of the original account information, authentication keys, addresses, passwords, phone numbers, etc, etc, but I just don't know where to begin.

Should I call up Blizzard? Email them? Keep trying to reach the buyer?

I would really like to get my account back,

Thanks in advance

sorry to say but your account should be banned since armory never updated

[Minstrel]

Really? That sucks. Not a big deal because I never expected to get it back anyway.

I thought it only updated when you logged on? Seemed like that at least.

Any other thoughts?

Doesnt mean your banned...It will only update if the person logs on...And armory hasnt updated in like 3 weeks.

So if there is a chance I am not banned, what steps should I take in order to have a chance of retrieving my account?

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate the help

Goto: wow-europe.com/support or worldofwarcraft.com/support, get into the "Comprimised account" webform, fill in all the info you have, take a picture of your ID and attach it, say you've been away for 4 months, and now that you got back you can't log in. Instant win, pew pew.

Thanks! I'll post back when I get the chance, I don't even have WoW installed right now haha

I can only seem to find the Europe version, will it matter if I am on a US server?

Nevermind, found it. Thanks though

If it doesn't work out I'm just going to start fresh.

Probably going to make a mage and a paladin.

What would YOU recommend?

[Locklear]

I would recommend Paladin, since Healing is more in-demand..But if ure going to just start Fresh, I'd say cough up another $100 or so than u'd pay for WoW + TBC and just buy a 70 Account on MarkeeDragon, will save u a LOAD of time

yea just call them up. I did the same thing on my account, all i had to give them was my org. email, address, last name, SQ & SA. I also said my account was stolen when i went to a Lan party, and got it right back. the guy did nothing on the account so i took it back. even when i logged on a guildie said "Hey i havent seen you in like 2months"

[Minstrel]

I wonder how it got banned :P

They just got curious one day and looked at the records and said "LOL! Banned!"?

Still waiting for a reply to mail, if that doesn't work I might try calling.

[Minstrel]

Alright, I finally received an email from Blizzard.

It didn't help.

All it said was that the email I was using to contact them was not registered to the account I was referring to. Which is stupid, because I clearly explained to them that it was hacked.

Which confuses me. Did they even read the email? ><

What should I do now? Call them directly?

Thanks

When my account got banned i got deleted off the armoury >.<
Also, they might have played the character then decided to reroll another class on the account
