Hope all of you getting hacked by those not nice people (me wording it nicely >:O) get your stuffz back and get back playing in this awesome game.

I was bored and thought some nice words of encouragement and support to help ya though these crappy times!

Remember:

No Cata Beta yet.
Dont click on fishy links!
Change your password's once a month at least (what I do)
sometimes change your email to if he keep getting hacked! (Gmail is awesome :P)

Yep. Wish you all the best of luck on getting your stuff back so you can get back in the game!

Send Hate to the hackers who enjoy ruining peoples experience >:O
