I don't have WoW but I think I'll update anyways. No sense in risking anything, is there?

[Psionicz]

Ah, I thought I saw and 'other accounts' which is why I put it in general. I updated tho just to make sure, as if it can get them why not us?

Yeah, this message's been all over World of WarCraft for a while now. I should probably get around to installing it. Downloaded it, just haven't installed it yet.
