How long does it take to get your account restored after being hijacked? I'm sitting at the fourth day and I was told that four days is what it would take. Anyone go through this experience and have some input?

I am just taking data, not trying to do harm. Did you have an authenticator? If not, why not? Again, not attacking, just asking. And just curious, did they get all your accounts or just 1?
4-14 days

If you're gona screw with my sig at least leave the thing bolded :P
When I lost my accounts back in BC I got everything back in 2 days. I was lucky heh.
EVE Online Get Ships. Train Skills.
It took them 13 days to do the first restore which was really sucky, then an additonal 4 days of petitions and finally 4 hours online with a GM to get back most of what I lost. I did not get everything, about 150 frost badges on one account were not restored due to :"their logs had an issue and they cannot prove I had them" total BS for me. It was a very painful process although others had better experiences.
Did they move any toons off your server? Those were the most completed restores due to the fact that blizz does a rollback on those toons. The rest of the toons will be individually reasearched to see what was taken.
Best of luck with this and I hope you have a smoother ride than I did.

Took over two weeks for my friend to get all his stuff back. He got duped by a dodgy copy of wow armoury.

Buddy of mine called Blizzard about 20 minutes after noticing the authenticator prompt (he didn't have one) and I reported him in-game while watching his toon mine the herbs underground. He got his chars back the next day and our banks were restored about a day or two after that.
Now playing: WoW (Garona)
I did not have an authenticator, because I consider my web activity safe. I don't read email that I dont recognize, even emails from blizzard go straight to trash. The only wow site I visit are this one, wowhead and mmo-champion. I think I got it from the flash vulnerability when mmo-champion got hacked. I didn't hear about it until it was probably too late. I now use noscript with firefox
If it helps Multibocks, I got hacked last Sunday, and they hit 2 accounts really hard before we could stop them.
Te GM told me today, that There is a cue of about 6 days, So I'm half way there. I figure based on that, you would have another 2-3 days man.
I do wish they would get more authenticators up for sale. I have too many damn accounts to worry about.
