Greetings,
It has recently been brought to our attention that the World of Warcraft account you are using may have been shared with a third party (for example, a sibling, friend and/or leveling service).
Be aware that it is your responsibility to keep your account password secure; you may not disclose your password to anyone, or allow your password to be used by anyone other than yourself and/or your one (1) minor.

It wasn't that big of a deal, but it is really annoying. All of my accounts are in my name/email etc... So all I had to do was log into each one and change their passwords back using their "random" temp password. So I submitted a ticket to be like hey WTF it's all me check the contact info and that I'm a multi-boxer so please flag my account and stop the harassment. That's 2 weekends in a row after an all day PvP-fest with my 5x Shaman I get an email lol what are the odds.
One more thing... I got like 75-80gig of FRAPS footage from yesterday anyone know of a decent program for video editing besides vegas pro?
