I had thought they lifted some restrictions on the trial accounts recently, but I guess I am incorrect. Thanks for clearing it up. Guild members on all day yesterday reported nothing. If they can't post that from trial accounts, then it should be only a matter of time and maybe blizz can find them. I doubt Bliz will let us know other than maybe an answer to the ticket that the situation has been dealt with. Hopefully it's all over with, but it's been a very frustrating week, and brutal weekend. One of the other officers was writing down every name of every level 1 toon that was used, and put that in his submitted ticket. If it's real account, then is should be relatively easy for Blizz to find him then. BTW, I thought trial accounts were what hackers used when they stole gold from hacked accounts? How can bliz not trace them if they are legit accounts? Guess I never really looked into how hackers can hack an account and send gold to another account and disappear without Bliz being able to find them. Always thought they were trial accounts... ahhh, sometimes it's nice to be oblivious - It keeps you out of some trouble...lol
