Well, at first it looks real, but then a couple of things catch my eye.
1. I don't have a WoW account ( I know blizzard is stupid sometimes, but not like this)
2. Asking for my user name and password? well, that's old...
3. "If you ignore this mail your account can and will be closed permanently.", well what if i don't check my e-mail?

Working with adobe and/or java is like pushing a paper clip against a building and expecting it to move...
LOL! Was totally reading this in my google reader and mistook it for an email directed at me. I almost started to fill out the info until I realized I was in my google reader and it directed me here. /facepalm irl
My friend fell for this...He lost everything. That really sucks. The people who are not familure with the way blizzard works will easily fall for this stuff but some ppl like us know bewtter

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
I would make a new account and have a character in it called "Go Fuck Yourself".
But anyway, it is written very well and I could see why people would fall for it. The extra info and the technical terms are written nice as well. Not nice enough though. Like Ivaron said, donotreply@blizzard.com asked you to reply back. So ignoring it technically makes you follow the rules ><
this happened to two of my buddies from WoW while i was playing. they talked to blizzard employees and got there stuff back though.
How long did it take them to get there stuff back? My friend called them and they told him to talk to a GM and he said they would investigate the problem

Like a couple days. I think it depends on the severity of it though Cuz this one girl i knew didn't get hers back for a week.
