    Getting Stalked in WoW

    Hey there folks

    I am going through some very intense RL issues with my ex who has used WoW to track me in the past. She would follow my character, call me up and say something like "well you were raiding on Thursday but you ain't got time for me." I know this all sounds funny from the outside (esp since I am a guy getting stalked by a girl), but this is a very serious issue for me.

    So to stop this I transferred my character to a new server, to a FRESH ACCOUNT and gave it a fresh name and she found me anyway. How the hell did she do that and how can I hide my character from her? I am even worried about posting on the official forums (I did in the past, but haven't since I transferred my monk to the new account), I have a 1 alt I use for that. I have to hide behind a damn alt not because I am a troll, but because I am being stalked IR friggin L.

    I have a police report here evidence of her abuse and am really thinking about sending this to Blizzard in an attempt to get my account somehow delisted from their public database. It's not like I can report her to Blizzard, she doesn't even play anymore.

    I hate these damn tracking sites so much it hurts. It seems as if I have to just delete my toon and start from scratch on yet another account! I have my cloak, have just pushed to wave 25 endless in the PG, I was respected in my old guild as a nice and accomplished player - I had to leave them; found a new guild, got some heroic gear etc etc.... I have a nice ilvl 560+ toon and I don't wanna delete her.

    How am I being tracked even after transferring Across accounts? What the fuck?

    There is nothing funny about being stalked. Gender should have nothing to do with it.

    She can probably track you through WoWProgress.com or any of the addons that allow alt tracking. Your best bet is to talk to Blizzard about it. Online harassment is against the TOS.

    Watch out or she might find this post...

    Was it a whole new bnet account or on the same bnet account?

    I tried tracking myself on wowprogress but it doesn't say anything about my old server or name. That's what's odd.

    Call Blizzard about the matter, and inform them. They can (and in the past, have) take action to prevent this sort of behavior.

    Ever thought about trojan horses or something?

    I got an entirely new account, brand new serial end all. Transferred my main from my old account to the new one. So it was a whole new account.

    while i can't offer any advice on the situation, i do have a burning question: how is she stalking you in game without playing? o_0 you said she doesn't play anymore, so how is she still stalking you?

    also, she sounds fucking mental. some serious attachment issues there. be glad she's your ex

    If it's a whole new battlenet it's probable that there are two things:

    1 - She has a keylogger that screenshots and emails her what you're doing. I used one once to catch my partner cheating on me.
    2 - She knows you really well and guessed...and turned out to be right.

    She's looking me up somehow, on the armory I guess, to find out what I've been doing. The thing gives information down to the hour. What I am curious about is how she tied my character on my old account to the new account I transferred it to.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I'll check out this virus stuff you guys are speaking of. She did have access to my machine about a month ago. She went to the WoW forums and posted a suicide note on my account, went to the GW2 forums and made some very nasty death threats to random people AND made threats on people's life on youtube. She actually got the cops sent to my house doing this. How she got access to my comp... long story.

    Nope. When you're not Brad Pitt you don't really get to enjoy that particular experience.

    Did she ever even play wow?
    Perhaps it's an in-game friend/friend that knows what you're doing and told her :P
    Seems kinda far fetched while thinking about it...

    Either way, my time here is limited. I gotta head off to work here in a few. I'll check back here after I get off. Thanks for the pointers guys. I am really challenged by all this technical mumbo jumbo - so whatever suggestions you give me, please dumb it down.

    People need to learn that pissing off a techie will not usually end well. the neighbors below me were huge ass hats to me and were banging on their ceiling (my floor) for no reason, so I went into their unsecured router and blocked all the mac addresses from connecting and changed their SSID to "APT 204-we are assholes"

    OT: that sounds creepy - but maybe put them on ignore? talk to blizz - best way to solve it.

    Is your account under the same battle.net account? As in, do you still use the same email address to log in? Buying the game a second time and attaching it to the same email address still attaches that new account to the same battle.net account, in which case it's fairly easy to track.
    Different e-mails, but I did use the same RL name, of course.

    So she's tracking my account and not my actual toon? Is there a site that does that that I can delist my stuff?

    ughhh... I am gonna be so late to work. I'll try to keep up with this on my phone.

    your computer is tainted, you need to burn it.

    Buy a new Computer, transfer no files from the old. you need to start life from absolute scratch.
