In what seems to be a world record in account hacking issue resolution, in just a little over 24 hours of the report being filed I logged in to find all of my character's gear in my mailbox, courtesy of a friendly Blizzard GM.

Yes, I have a character named Porksword. He is mighty.

After hearing horror tales from guildmates and commenters yesterday I expected to have to wait anywhere from three days to 'good luck with that', yet here I am, fully decked out in my lovely +frost heavy splendor, ready to fight beside my comrades once again. Well, behind my comrades, unless I accidentally hit blink instead of sheep again. Really need to move those hot buttons.

Kudos (chocolate covered granola bars) to WoW customer service for such a speedy resolution. If this is any indication of the current level of service that players can expect, they've come quite a long way from the early days of, "Wait, they have GMs in this game?" Michael Fahey
