I really don't understand why a hacker would delete characters.
It's sheer bloody-mindedness, and gives an interesting insight into the mindset of the people who do this. They're not just doing it for business reasons - they really are nasty bastards who want to hurt people.

I personally know somebody who had their account hacked and all of their toons were logged in falling to the ground from Dalaran. Naked, obviously.

I've also heard anecdotal evidence of people logging in to find themselves deep under water with a couple of seconds' breath left, and dying of fatigue because they've been logged out so far from land.

It's just the final twist of the virtual knife from the cowardly scum-sucking pieces of shit that do this sort fo thing because they can't get a real job.

Honestly, IF I would ever have considered buying gold in the past, there's no way I would EVER even give it a moment's consideration since I first starting hearing about account hacks a couple of years ago.

So, yeah, really bad luck there Zamok, and even more worrying when you don't know exactly how they got the information to move that fast.

I hope Blizz manage to restore everything for you, and I hope the sweat-shop-dwelling, yellow-bellied losers who did it burn in hell.
