Getting Last Name On Account

[Cun]

Very simple method that my brother thought of, we tried it out and it worked.

Basically a week or so ago we scammed an account with a 70 mage on it that my brother wanted to keep, he wanted the last name so he can make a new account with the same name to transfer the mage for more security.

The realm I play on is an RP realm and he thought, if you make a character on a RP realm with a ridiculous name like "theorcwar" for example you can get reported and if it goes through the next time you log on you'll get prompted to change your name along with an email telling you what happened. We thought the email might contain the full name as emails for certain circumstances do.

So we tried it, he made a character on my realm with this name, leveled it to 6 and I reported it. We logged off and when I came back a few hours later I had a mail from a GM (I logged with the ticket open) saying the basic "We'll look into it" message, and my brothers character had been prompted for a name change along with an email :-)

So, in short:

1. Make character on RP realm with the account you want the full name on
2. Call this character something stupid like "pwnmage", good idea to level this to around 4-6.
3. If you don't have one already, make a character on another account on the same realm with a proper name.
4. Report your stupid named character with your real named character
5. Log off (optional) and wait.

You SHOULD receive the email with the full name.

You don't receive any suspension or even account warnings for this so don't worry.

Does not work, EVER, blizzard stopped including last names with emails over a year ago. At the same time they blotted out emails on the account page and stuff, they're slow not stupid. I have dealt with enough account buying and selling to know this.

Don't bother with this unless you want to risk getting your account in trouble for no reason.

Idemise is the best- WHY?
COZ YOU CAN HACK THEIR SITE LEGALLY! LOL
Rather than taking the pains to scam some poor soul of his account

Then why did it work for me?
And your account doesn't get in trouble. All they give you in the email is asking you to re-read the RP realm policies.

It worked for me 2 days ago.

Even if this did work you need the SQ/A to transfer account to account now.

Cun stop lying, I know basic blizzard policy and last names became a nono a long time ago, and as zoidberg stated you also need SQ/A, blizzard will never give you either, never.

You keep insisting it works to get more rep, give it up already.

I dont think your in a position to acuse anyone of needing rep.
Just because you think you know it all doesnt mean that this couldnt still work.

Nice find, +Rep
