How could you commit MMORPG treason like that... :twisted:

Do you still play W.O.W? If not, then you have nothing to worry about then :wink:

I keep getting those. And these;

It's all spam trying to get your details. No idea how they got hold of my email i only gave it up to Blizz it's not like I'm a member of any WOW fansites or whatever. Either way it isn't a problem it just goes straight to the junk folder.

Same here. Just delete it and continue your life.

Ironically I didn't get starting those until after I'd stopped playing.

Maybe, it's their "little" way of telling people not to quit. The only way to avoid those emails is to not do the one thing that gets them. And when people don't renew, im sure they have an automated service that tells people that. The fact of the matter is that, blizzard entertainment dosen't have the time to respond to everone individually (hence, the automated service).

Cheers, dafin0 :lol:

well honestly. the only thing i play from blizzard is starcraft. guess they got it from there somehow. which is odd considering that i never show my email on any forums except for admins to pm or something like that

They don't email you when you don't renew your subscription the only time Blizzard emails you with something WoW related (assuming you don't sign up for any newsletters) is when you make a payment to them for something (subscription, realm change, name change etc.) to confirm the payment. This email is from people trying to gain access to your account, it's not from Blizzard. I got one after I'd quit too.
