7 days free play email

#0 - Nov. 24, 2009, 9:16 p.m.

I just got an email from [email protected] stating I can claim 7 days free play time. It asks me to click on the icon in the email and takes me to the account login screen. Is this email official? Its kinda strange to receive this email after I subscribed from 2 years of inactivity. Below is the email I received.

World of Warcraft is celebrating its fifth anniversary, and we’re inviting you back to Azeroth to take part in the festivities. Your account has been selected to receive 7 days of FREE game time - simply click below to claim your time and rejoin the adventure.

While you’re back in Azeroth, you’ll be able to enjoy the following new additions to World of Warcraft:
Grab your own 5-year anniversary pet, the Onyxia Brood Whelpling, just for logging into World of Warcraft during the celebration.*

Find the Night Elf Mohawk to get your Mohawk Grenades... and help make Azeroth look “goooood”.

Battle the newly updated level-80 version of the fearsome dragon Onxyia in Dustwallow Marsh.

Answer the Call of Crusade in Icecrown, and take on all-new dungeon and raid content.

And more to come... including the epic final confrontation with the Lich King himself.
We hope you join us for the World of Warcraft fifth-anniversary fun!

The e-mail is likely from us, Hardes, anyone who has an inactive account should be receiving one.

It is important to stay wary though as it isn't unheard of for others to attempt to spoof something like this and get you to go to their own site and enter your information.

Always check where you are being directed to. If it isn't an official Blizzard website you know it is fake. More information on how to check for spoofed e-mails can be found in the following thread.
