I got this from MxO forums.

He gets an email from WoWAccountAdmin yesterday saying.

* * * NOTICE OF ACCOUNT CLOSURE REVIEW * * *

he first bribes them with money. (he wasn't actaully going to pay, but when they refuse his offer of $3,000 via paypal. My friend then replies with:

"what if i said i'd kill myself if u let me stay banned. my blood is going to be on your hands"

They reply with:

Greetings,

We take these sort of threats seriously and if you are joking about it, please stop as we are not qualified to provide psychological advice. You should contact the Boys Town Emergency and Crises hotline for counseling.

Although Blizzard Entertainment representatives are not qualified to provide psychological advice, the Boys Town Emergency and Crises hotline (1-800-448-3000) is available to those who need "right now" counseling for cases of depression. Those outside the USA should refer to their local authorities for help.

If you need immediate attention and you are unable to get advice from the Boys Town Emergency or your local team, please call 911 if you live within the United States or your operator for help in other International areas.

So then this *CENSORED* replies with:

Luckily for me and you all the servers are down so i'm use to not playing wow in the morning of tuesdays but if i dont get to play by tonight on my account i dont know what i'll do.

I dont need any boys club what do i look like a !@#$%^&*? that whole reply seemed like a script. and does it seem like im !@#$%^&* joking?

I can't call those numbers if my parents find out i'll be ashamed if anything is gona be done, i'd rather just get it over with. I'm already starting to feel the withdrawl and i think my hand is starting to shake.

Please help me. I don't need psychological advice. all i want is a second chance in World of Warcraft.

4-5 hours go by with no reply from World of Warcraft. I tell my friend that he's gonna get owned and police are going to come to his house

He tells me that it's not possible because the serial was stolen, and he used a game card, no cc ever on the site all they have is my first name.

Well..

around 9PM

KNOCK..KNOCK..KNOCK

he starts to go down stairs and see's the cop cars through the window.
he goes down stairs and there like ...yeah are you so and so? we got reports that u wantd to kill yourself. and he told him how it was just an attempt to get unbanned from a game and was not serious.

they tell him how they spent 4 hours trying to find him and that they take these type of things seriously.

How'd they find him? lol

So a little bit later he gets a reply from wow again:

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to e-mail us with your concerns. As previously communicated, we take these issues extremely seriously and we are very concerned with your well-being. Should you continue to have these urges, we cannot stress how vital it is to contact professionals that can provide the proper psychological advice. Again, you can contact the Boys Town Emergency and Crises hotline (1-800-448-3000) or in case of an emergency, you can dial 911 to receive immediate help.

I also must reiterate that after a thorough reinvestigation of this account, I have determined that the original closure was indeed merited and as such, it shall remain permanently closed. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Should you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

He now bribed them with:

i'm sorry about the other stuff i said.

is there anything i can do besides buying a new account? i paid for my wow account with a prepaid card. (basically i lost the months on the card? because of this)

i could just make a new account and start off as level 1. but that will just be so time consuming and a headache to start over.

How about I tell you every known exploit i know in WoW (a lot) I can tell you where these programs to speed hack, bot, fish bot, heal bots, WSG exploits, teleporting exploits etc. I know them all perhaps me telling you this information can help u stop it. or stop the distrubition by getting the sites to shut down because of the contents that the d/l is.

I even know of message boards where groups of people submit exploits, cheats, and programs all day long.

In return for this information I'd just like my account unbanned. You could keep a close eye on me and you'll see i wont do any of the things i listed above.

Wow, when you actually threaten suicide just because you can't play a game for three days, you really need to re-think your life and priorities.

No it would be more like this.

Caller: "I can't take it anymore, my parents are mean, and my friends hate me!"

Me: "Tell me, how is your health?"

Caller: "Fine"

Me: "Ok, and what economic class are you?"

Caller: "Middle...."

Me: "Ok, so what's the problem with your parents?"

Caller: "We had a fight..."

Me: "What was the fight about?"

Caller: "They just don't understand me!"

Me: "Ok, so let me get this straight, you live in a middle class society, you have good health, and just because you and your parents had an argument, and they don't 'understand' you, you want to go kill yourself? My God how stupid can you be? God, I've met people in Kenya who bitched less than you, and they live in mud huts. Tell you what, hang up the phone, go apologize to your parents, and realize how lucky you actually have it you spoiled little brat. Finally, I will be mailing you a prescription for two testicles, you can get that filled out anytime you want to sweet heart."

I would be fired in an hour. :D

My sentiments exactly (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=507071). :D

Too many people fail to realize how incredibly well-off they are compared to the rest of the world. Hell, just look at the enormous third-world population booms, the vast slums of Africa and Asia, all bursting with dozens of millions of people mired in poverty and garbage... simply being born in a Western nation is a pretty nice deal.

You know, ever since I made it a policy of mine to just tell people the direct honest truth about everything, I've been feeling a whole lot better. I've pissed off a few people, but whatever.

"what if I told we don't give a fuck what you do, saddo"
'cause that was my first thought.

Is this guy someone who sits in a dark room all day with the computer permanently on, going " I killed you n00b!" and occasionally takes a break from WoW to fap to porn as its the only action he'll ever get? Because that's what I'm thinking.

Yes, it's also interesting to note that such societies have much lower suicide rates than more affluent societies. THe people there are not consumed by materialism so they care for each other.

Yeah. I know quite a few people that play that game and a few of them are highly addicted to it. Their marriage is on the rocks due to the fact that they spend mostly the whole day playing it while ignoring their spouse and kids. One of my friend's husband even met another woman on there and had an "online affair" with her. Got moved even further with the exchanging of phone numbers..and sexy pics. And the two that their marriage is on the rocks refuse to stop playing the game. Its so sad. People wasting their life away in front of a computer.:(

If that's not a wake up call then nothing else would be. I suggest that the spouse of the WoW addict just smashes the computer.

I hate that game so.
But then again, I hate all games of the "Pay $50 to buy it, then pay $10 a month to keep playing it. Oh, and theres another $5 per month if you want the EXTRA SUPER SPECIAL VERSION with enhanced Gnome-strippers." genre.

I'll give them this at least, theyre selling the CD's cheap now.

But yeah, WoW distracted my friends from our joyful days of Battlefield Vietnam, which warrants death in my opinion.

I'm so depressed, regardless of my social and wealth status, due to my clinical depression, that I would willingly switch my life with one of those people. If there was a way, I would switch my life with them, and THEN perhaps go and kill myself.

Not so simple, is it?

Of course, there will be some people that aren't clinically depressed that are really just bitches, but remember, a clinically depressed person can be as successful as Bill Gates and still want to kill themselves.

Now some people like you, and my girl Kay do warrant some serious attention. God knows I'm worried about Kay now because she wants to go off of her happy pills, and the last time she ran out of those, her moods, her personality, her depressions were just all over the place. So the minute she stops taking her pills, I'd probably be spending most of my time with her to make sure that nothing happens.

It's not like I don't think all suicide threats are bogus, there are genuine ones out there, but the WoW one, eh, if you're willing to kill yourself over a game, then well, you're pathetic and probably won't contribute anything to society. However if your clinically depressed, Bi-Polar, Manic Depressive, etc, then yea, there are reasons for concern.
