Does the game store credit card details for premium upgrades? If so then more problems for customers. It will be the one password mob who will suffer most.

They had a password change event. Change your password and get free in game gold. Enough to buy a days premium account.

Is that enough compensation for the trouble? It seems that most months that we hear of such an event. I am trying to remember how many of mine I have had to change. Not that many considering the numbers of log ins I have.

the trouble of changing a simple password.. to me the reward was good enough. If they had held financial details that had been compromised then i would be more worried.

I can accept that. A one day premium upgrade might enough to compensate for the aggro. With a password manager it is easy anyway. :)
