[Kek's Productions]

Hello there guys I decided to give somthing to this forum today because i annoyed allot of people in the shoutbox and i have decided to try and prove myself to be mmowned worthy. So this is how you spot the signs of hack/scam sites!
Step one: The mail should be from [email protected] if its EU. Second the email should be almost exactly like this:
Wrath of the Lich King™ beta test

You have been selected to participate in the beta test of World of Warcraft®: Wrath of the Lich King™. Welcome!

In the beta test you will get an opportunity to play the new Northrend continent, the Death Knight hero class, and character levels above 70. We look forward to your feedback on the overall experience, including quests, monsters, zones, aesthetics, and more. We would also appreciate reports on any bugs you may encounter. These can be logged using the /bug command explained below.

Getting started:

In order to participate in the beta test, you must upgrade an existing retail account which has been upgraded with The Burning Crusade®, allowing you to connect to the Wrath of the Lich King™ test realms. The World of Warcraft®: The Burning Crusade® game client that you use must be patched up to version 2.4.2 or later in order to install the beta test client.

Go to http://beta.wow-europe.com/expansion to download the installer, and copy character(s) to our test realms.

Please be prepared to enter the current retail World of Warcraft account name and password you use, and the appropriate beta code listed below to authenticate your eligibility to connect to the Wrath of the Lich King test realms. To participate in the beta tests, you must have a valid retail World of Warcraft account active and in good standing as of July 15, 2008.

Below is a beta code that will allow you to upgrade the Account you use to play World of Warcraft®: The Burning Crusade®. Each beta code can be used only once to upgrade an active retail World of Warcraft® account.

Please retain this email for your records. If you experience any issues creating or accessing the temporary Blizzard Account, please email Billing Support at [email protected].

Sending us feedback:

Typing /bug in chat will open an error reporting interface, and we encourage you to use it any time you encounter a problem or want to send us a suggestion.

Troubleshooting:



If you experience any difficulties installing the beta game client, or have problems connecting to the test servers, please contact Technical Support either by posting on the appropriate forum at http://beta.worldofwarcraft.com or by email at [email protected]. Please remember that this software is still undergoing development, so any in-game issues should be reported using the /bug feature.

Then underneath there should be this in other languages! no:3:ALL WoW login pages have https:// at the start NOT http://. The "s" means secure! If a site hasn't got that at the top it proably isnt legit! And thats about it really, Obviously these rules dont apply to wow powerleveling sites! Also this guide is based upon WoW Eu not US. But i assume US is pretty much the same. Thanks for reading!

WoW Scams World of Warcraft Scamming Methods ONLY.
[NO QUESTIONS HERE]
We do not condone scamming, this section is meant for people to read about scamming so they can prevent being scammed themselves.


^^^^^^^LOL YEAH RIGHT, but technically this is what the wow scams section is "supposed to be used for"


And to the op I didnt read the guide cause its to much of a txt wall and its all gray and boring. Different color headers with an esay to see color for the body imo... Alll I saw is the huge bright sig which caught my eye and made me not read the thread
