The Classifieds: BlizzCon is two weeks away
by Michael Gray

As I was busily working yesterday in stately Gray Manor, my good friend (and boss) Dan dropped me a message. "Do you realize," he said (and I paraphrase, because he's my boss), "BlizzCon is just two weeks away?"
I dropped my coffee with a gasp. It really is just two weeks away. We'll get to see the Foo Fighters rock the house and stand in line to buy awesome merchandise. Oh yeah, and WoW Insider is going to have one hell of a party.
Here's hoping you're packing your bags, folks. BlizzCon is getting very, very close. Two weeks will fly by before you know it, and suddenly we'll all be in Anaheim soaking in that beautiful Blizzard love.
Random Acts of Uberness
It's when another player lights up your night with precise play, a wicked sense of humor or unexpected generosity that your login becomes something to remember. Share your Random Acts of Uberness with theclassifieds@wowinsider.com. Keep things brief (150 words or less, please), and be sure to list everyone's character names and home realms or battlegroup. Don't be afraid of sending an entry more than once if it doesn't appear; sometimes internet dragons eat email, and we'd hate to let that keep deserving players from getting their due.
Lorillina of Alleria (US-A) About a month ago my DK on Alleria, GeoKnight, sent money to the tune of 10k gold to at the time what I thought was my Shaman Lorilina. However, upon sending the mail and never receiving it on Lorilina I knew I had to have accidentally hit an extra character in the "To" field. So I took it for what it was worth and crossed my fingers and sent out mail to every possible misspelling I could think of. Simply stating, "I accidentally mailed that money to the wrong toon, my mistake. Enjoy!"
Well, come to find out that today I log in to that little mail blip on my map and long behold it's Lorillina from Alleria returning my gold! I can't thank them enough and wanted to share this with you guys (and gals). There are some really decent people out there that I am glad to say that I play this game with them! -- Geoknight

I thought unread mail gets returned automatically after a month, am I missing something with that story?
Didax Oct 5th 2011 10:32AM
I was thinking the same thing. If Geoknight received nothing more than a returned mail, it just means that Lorillina has not logged on in the past month.
So it's more like a random act of I'm-lucky-I-sent-that-to-a-character-that-no-longer-plays.

I believe that what happened is gold got sent to a someone with a slightly different name. The receiver kept the gold, cause "Hey, free gold!" until the receiver found how why they received free gold. Then, the receiver returned the gold to the sender, while under no obligation to do so. That's my reading of the story.
Yukitaro Oct 5th 2011 11:42AM
Reading the story again, your interpretation is also a valid reading.

Funny- something similar happened to me way back in BC- only it was the opposite way- I randomly received something along the lines of 800G from some name I didn't recognize. I immediately sent it back assuming that the person had made a mistake. After 30 days, though, I got the mail returned saying it was never opened.

I suggest adding your alts' names to your friends list. They'll pop up automatically when you start typing the name in a mail; just tab select.
Didax Oct 5th 2011 10:35AM
Alternatively, if you're the type that doesn't mind an addon solution, pick up the Postal addon. In addition to autofill, it has a drop down style menu for selecting recipients, one subcategory of which is alts.

Ah the Foo Fighters. Feels good to know that you're funding a group that funds AIDS/HIV denialism, doesn't it? Nothing rocks harder than ignorace!

I wonder if Lorillina's main is now reading this and cursing himself for not logging in more frequently on that character..
Steve Oct 5th 2011 11:10AM
get an addon called postal. It will automatically add your alts names so even if it's just a lvl1 bank toon you have it right there to just click on. It also lets you open all of your main in one click. super handy.

Let us hope that Southern California's weather improves in the next two weeks, or else "Blizzard's love" won't be the only thing we'll be soaking in.
Matthew Oct 5th 2011 3:15PM
I'll get right on that :-) You're lucky I play a druid!
