We look forward to your feedback on the overall experience, including quests, monsters, zones, aesthetics, and more. We would also appreciate reports on any bugs you may encounter. These can be logged using the /bug command explained below.

I am writing this to Blizzard to do something about it, so ppl who doesnt know enough about computers wont get fool by it.. and get their account hacked by some russian. Plz alert authority and kill that site down.

Thanks, Fransica.

You can also send this to hacks@blizzard.com. To be of most use to them - the internal header is also helpful, if you can forward that, or copy and paste it into your email as well, would be appreciated.

Thanks!
