Last night i lost my access to warcraft because my subscription had expired. I didn't get any notification that it was coming due. I have my payment automatically taken out using paypal every 3 months. For whatever reason it was denied, so i contacted blizz. They explained to me there is sometimes a processing error with paypal (certainly wasn't my fault) and we redid the transaction again. I was told i would be up and running anywhere from 10 min to an hour. Of course payment was denied again for some reason.
I decided to go withdrawl the money and purchase a game card while the situation gets resolved. I come back and try and log into my account........forum maintenance is happenning :( Two hour later i try again. This time i get a 404 error and cannot log into my account /sigh. So i do a google search on the error with WoW and find a blue post that actually helps me (boy that's rare). I end up calling a number where they activate the prepaid card themselves.
I tried to get a weeks worth of free subscription for all the aggravation they caused. I could only manage to get one day though :( .
Blizzard sure can be annoying (to put it mildly) sometimes >:(
Me too gren, except there's something wrong with all their verifications right now...not just paypal...it's telling me that my visa number is not a valid visa number, so i try my mastercard...and guess what, it thinks my mastercard isn't a valid number for a mastercard either. Meanwhile, i drive down the street to buy a pack of smokes, two packs really, one on each card, and guess what: it's valid there!
Grr.
Blizz decided they wanted to take out the 2 paypal attempts after all. The money was removed from the account and i should have 6 more months of WoW play time. My account, however, says i still only have the 60 days of play time from the card >:(
Id almost call that left :(
