    Your best best is to call them. Are you sure the original email was legit? I get loads of 'suspicious activity' emails which look pretty real, but when you investigate further, you'll notice they are fakes. The irish customer service number is listed in the stickies on the top of the forum.

    Hey Budah,

    The mail you got was about your Battle.net account being locked, if your IP changes a lot you'll get locked as it appears your being hacked. That email you got gives you all the instructions you need as you can unlock the Battle.net account yourself.

    Since you said you didn't get the password reset just add @blizzard.com and @battle.net to your safe address list on your hotmail account. Request the password again and it should come though. Complete it and you'll unlock the Battle.net account.

    On the bad side you could be hacked, use the webform to report that and you'll be fine. Hope this helps anyway.

    Webform

    Cheers,
    Tom
