An Authentic(ator) Giveway


Want a Blizzard Authenticator? Of course you do, and I don't blame you. Who wouldn't want to keep their account safe from hijackers and gold thieves? So then, why haven't you picked one up just yet? Is it the $6.50 fee? The fact that you cannot pry yourself away from WoW long enough to complete the transaction?

No worries bud. I understand, and I got your back.

To help celebrate the return of Warlock Therapy, I'm going to be giving away 25 Authenticators on June 19!

All you will need to do is leave a comment to this post by 11:59 p.m. on June 10. Twenty-five of you will be chosen at random, and whether you play a Warlock or not, I will send you a Blizzard Authenticator at no charge to you. I'm even covering the shipping cost, so you really have nothing to lose!

Oh, and one other thing. You MUST have a Blogger account in order to participate in this contest. But don't worry if you do not have one -- they are free and take just a minute or so to register. Anonymous posting will do you no good.

Not a bad way to get things started again, am I right? And since there are only like 2 people reading this blog these days (you and me, I'm thinking), odds are pretty good! Now get commenting, and good luck to all who participate.

Signing up seeing this might be the only way to ever get the authenticator as apparently in around 500km radius no shop sells them for some reason and I have yet to find any online shop shipping them to Estonia.

i just want to take up more space on my keychain

John said...

Welcome back! I've been a fan of your blog for a long time - you have great posts. Thanks for giving me some good Lock reading =)

GregH said...

Can we post using our name but without using a blogger account? I don't really want to sign up for one.

Star said...

WHAT? I thought my feed was broken or something. Where have you been?

Dagdog said...

Ah, I'm glad I decided to check back in. I hope all is well.

I'm in... Want to buy.

Jagoex said...

Nice to see some familiar tags! Thanks for stopping in again.

@GregH: Well, it comes down to simplifying the processes of identifying the winner. With anonymous names that anyone can use, I would have to search through IP addresses, which may take quite a bit of time. With your own Blogger account, however, I can simply respond to an email address.

Sweet, at least I can count on my PvP gear not being stolen by a gold farmer, even though I could probably enter the Arena naked without it making that much of a difference on the outcome.

No authenticator selling in my country so, if the percentage to win this one is higher than the drop rate of Baron Rivendare's, it's already a win ^_^

Possible win? Starting a Warlock, hopefully this website will help understanding the mechanics of one

I'd some something WoW on the outside world :P it's bad enough chatting with a clerk and having your hubby and everyone else stare at you as you go on (and on) about Stratholme and Death Knights.

Not a big deal? Try it being a 47 yo mom of 5 :P

Typhoonandrew said...

Well this is just too much of an outstanding offer. Consider this an entry.

ma.scarecrow said...

Hey! Thanks! I'm always looking for good lock info (my main baby!) and didnt know about your blog before! Glad I found it and thanks!

Bill K. said...

I've just started playing a lock and found this blog, and this giveaway. I'm in, on both :-)

Can't wait to start digging in to the blog posts either!

Xanite said...

I would love to have one for my second account.

JR said...

I'd love an authenticator!

Guess I'll give my gnome 'lock another try. Awesome giveaway.

Much thanks to WoW Insider (now wow.com) for posting about this. I love my warlocks and enjoy the warlock community.

dremex said...

Lets give it a shot!

The Warlock Mother said...

With all the hacking that has been going on recently on the server that I play on, one of these would be really awesome. I know that $6 and some change isn't much but with how things are now, any extra cash that is laying around goes to making sure my little future WoW player has what she needs. Good luck to everyone and have fun!

Richard Guse said...

Yeah, my keychain is definitely not big enough...

Kilegrisen said...

I'd love one of those things. I'd hate to loose my little lock. :)

Phantasym said...

Nice lootz!

Joseph said...

I was waiting for an app for a blackberry, since while $6.50 is pretty inexpensive they charge an arm and a leg (relatively) for shipping to Canada.

But hey, if you want to give me one for free, I'll take it. ;)

Nano said...

/roll 100
I win =)

Vectivus said...

This is a long shot, but yes please!

Hello! I have never been to this site before, but look forward to any help you can provide for my warlock, especially since they reset all of my talents without saving them or giving prior notice so that I could.

I wants one, mememe!

JB said...

June 19th is my mom's birthday...so...yeah, that has nothing to do with this as she doesn't play WoW, but hey I can spend the $6.50 on Mom instead of me.

What a good son I am

Caroline said...

So glad to see you back!

Hi Jag! I am looking forward to your blog - I have been looking forward to meeting up with you again since we met in Naxx (I was on my lock, Glosoli.) Best of luck!

Nothing like another Warlock blog.
We can't have too many of these in my opinion...there are just too many people who don't understand the subtleties of our class.

Also, Authenticator ftw!

Mo said...

Woot, Ghostlands FTW!

Meg said...

I miss my lock, but I'm still pissed about my MASSIVE changes to Affliction...needless to say I'm playing again!

Nyhtwings said...

I've actually just started a baby warlock myself :) I love my other toons but thought it'd be fun to try something new. I'll have to start visiting this place more often now ;)

Great to have you returning to blogging!

Indeed the authenticator seems to be the holy grail in these parts and just as hard to find.

I don't have a credit card, so thus I don't have an authenticator. :( Halp? :3

You probably don't ship to canada, but it's worth a shot. :)

I actually got hacked about two weeks ago and it was a wonder I didn't have to go through what I went through last time with the Account Recovery Form I had to fill out... I still get nightmares about having to look for my birth certificate. This would own those Chinese kids and I wouldn't have to lock my account down with Parental Controls as a precaution. I just loved when I got an email saying "Give me you parental control password please. I only need for 5 hours then you can have back."

See something good may come out of Ferraro's blog being a total sham. It would be funny if I was actually drawn for the authenticator!

Cheers and I will be frequenting your blog quite a bit, its amazingly hard to find stuff to do for 8 hours at work sometimes.

Rick said...

Lets give this a shot.

Orgauth said...

I've already got one, so don't pick me! I just want to say that it's the best investment (if you don't win and have to buy) you can make for WoW, in terms of time NOT spent cleaning up a hacker's mess (been there, done that, got TWO t-shirts).

Also consider that some guilds are making Authenticators a prerequisite to membership - account security (and guild bank contents) is SRS BSNSS!

KAP said...

Fingers crossed!

Also, do you have an old blog archived somewhere? I keep seeing references to welcome back etc...
