Just got a Diablo 3 survey from Blizzard in the mail:
Our goal at Blizzard Entertainment is to make the most epic gaming experiences possible, so we want to get your feedback as a registered user of Diablo III. We invite you to participate in an online survey where your responses will help us determine which areas to focus our attention in the coming months.
You must be 13 years of age or older to fill out the questionnaire. The entire survey is expected to take about 20 minutes to complete.
Click this link if you would like to participate.
We value your opinions and look forward to hearing from you. To report any issues with this survey, please email blizsurvey@blizzard.com. Due to the large volume of emails we receive, we are unable to answer every message at this address, but all messages are read. If you need assistance or support from a Blizzard representative, please visit our Support site for additional contact options or help with our games at:
I think it's legit, check your email and see for yourself. The survey is very detailed so doubt it it's hack, especially when you don't have to enter any account information.
The way to see if its "legit" is not by looking at the questions, but to check the URL.
I didn't get such a mail, btw. And it would be odd from Blizzard to send out such an email at this point. I've never heard of any legit Blizzard survey like this either.
Edit: thanks, creazur. Well, if it really was blizzard.com (and not something close to blizzard.com), it might be legit. Still odd timing imho.

To the people reporting this, the guy isn't asking for anyone to click a suspicious link, he's just pointing out the he received an e-mail asking for feedback.
The links posted in the op (which have been removed now, and kept as just "text") are links to send an e-mail to a specific address (which couldn't possibly scam anyone) and a legit BNet EU address.
If you wanna discuss whether this is legit or not, feel free to do it. Let's just not make a mountain out of a molehill.
If this was official, how freaking unprofessional is that for them to not give us a heads up?
As much as they warn us about security. As much as they hear about and deal with phishing scams. As much as people complain about it on their website, and they don't even post a notice?
Somebody goofed.
From all the signs I've seen at Bnet forums, this was official. I did not receive anything, but I suppose it was a random sample group.
As others have said, it certainly doesn't seem legit. And the timing seems a bit late also. I'm definitely not clicking it. Matter of fact I'm going to run a spyware scan just because I read the URL!!
I just took the survey, it seems legit. They didn't ask for any personal info other than your gender and age, they asked for your anual salary but you can opt out from answering that.
It actually did take about 20 minutes.
The questions are mostly level of satisfaction questions.

Email comes from noreply battle net (I cannot post links)
Link goes to the "research blizard" link mentioned above
that site re-directs to "sea blizzard" official page (again sorry about the links)
No personal information is asked other than age and gender
One of the sections tells you how many of each character you have ever created (incluiding deleted characters). PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG but i don't think that this information is part of the publicly available Diablo 3 web API.
Regardless of anything, a general characteristic of a phishing site is to capture ur account details, none are taken here...I guess if your still unsure fill it in at your own risk...
I think it's legit I took it all it asked was age and gender and whatever.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask

MMO-champ posters seem to think it's real, after a lot of "Fake" posts: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1336641-Blizzard-Diablo-3-Survey

Ha. Bagstone.
Some guys already confirmed it was real on MMO-champ, Blizzard divided into 2 is Bliz
