OK gonna try to make this short.

Basically, I got home from work, checked my email, had about 10 from blizzard about password changes and characters restorations.. I'm like wtf

Try logging into my account, but obviously the password had been changed, so I reset my password and logged into my account


Went to my druid, who was naked, checked his in game mail... everything had already been read, although all of my feral and resto gear was there

Then went to my rogue who I had been using as a bank, his in game mail had also been read...but nothing was left on him.

So basically I'm just asking, will they restore my gold/gear again?

Entirely possible they got back in before you did.

You didn't change your password back to what it was did you? I know that sounds like a dumb question, but it happens :)

I'd still do a full system sweep - and I'd also triple check your email account to make sure it's not been compromised or forwarded.

Just report this once you are certain you are secure.

You may also want to look into getting an authenticator for your account. It's no substitute for good security habits, but it will help keep them out of your WoW account.
