Appeal Template for Account Unlock

⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is an example! Use your real information

SUBJECT: BATTLE.NET ACCOUNT UNLOCK REQUEST

Hello,

I am the owner of the Blizzard account registered under the name 
[FIRST NAME LAST NAME], date of birth [DATE OF BIRTH].

I am currently unable to log into my account as it has been locked. I have 
never violated any rules, and I have never transferred my account to third 
parties.

The likely cause of the lock may have been a sudden change in IP address and 
login region, as during [MONTH/PERIOD] I was in [COUNTRY/CITY] due to personal 
circumstances, which may have appeared suspicious from the security system's 
perspective.

I want to emphasize that:

• I have always been the only person with access to this account
• The password and account credentials have never been shared with anyone
• I am willing to undergo any additional verification to confirm account 
  ownership

To confirm that this account belongs to me, I am providing the following 
information:

• Email used during registration: [EMAIL]
• BattleTag: [BATTLETAG]
• Approximate dates and amounts of purchases: [DATES/AMOUNTS]
• Payment method: [BANK/PAYMENT SYSTEM]
• I can provide supporting screenshots if necessary

I kindly ask you to review this lock and, if possible, restore access to my 
account. I have always followed Blizzard's rules and am committed to continued 
fair use of the service.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,
[NAME]

🔄 What to Do If Your Unlock Request Is Denied?

⚠️ CRITICALLY IMPORTANT: Don't Give Up After the First Denial!

The main secret to successful unlocking: Regular people work in Blizzard support, and the quality of review for your ticket directly depends on the specific employee who receives it.

Why Can the Same Request Produce Different Results?

Factor	Impact on Decision	Reality
Support agent experience	High	Newcomers more often deny "just in case"
Agent workload	Medium	High workload reduces review quality
Mood and fatigue	Medium	Human factor can't be eliminated
Understanding of situation	High	Not all agents are equally competent
Time of day/day of week	Low	Attentiveness decreases at end of shift/week

🎯 Repeat Appeal Strategy

If denied — follow this plan:

ATTEMPT 1-2: Resubmit after 24-48 hours

• Use the same text with minor modifications
• Add phrase: "I kindly ask you to reconsider this decision"
• Attach additional proof of ownership

ATTEMPT 3-4: Change approach after 2-3 days

• Rephrase the appeal in different words
• Emphasize different aspects of the situation
• State: "I am reaching out again for additional review"

ATTEMPT 5+: Show persistence

• Continue submitting appeals every 3-4 days
• Each time your ticket will reach a new agent
• Eventually you'll reach a competent specialist

---

💡 Why This Works

Ticket Distribution System at Blizzard:

1. Random distribution: Each new appeal goes to a randomly available agent
2. Staff rotation: Different teams work different shifts
3. Varying competence levels: Experienced agents view situations more objectively
4. Human factor: One agent may deny, another may approve an identical request

Real Example:

User PRO_Gamer2024:
"Received 4 consecutive denials. On the 5th attempt, I got a reasonable agent who unlocked my account in 12 hours. Same data, same text — just a different employee."

User WoW_Veteran:
"Submitted 10 times. First 9 — denials with template responses. On the 10th, I received a detailed letter from a senior specialist who checked everything and unlocked it. 2 weeks of effort, but it was worth it!"

---

✅ Rules of Persistence

DO:

• ✅ Resubmit every 2-4 days
• ✅ Slightly vary your wording
• ✅ Add new details and proof
• ✅ Maintain a polite tone in every appeal
• ✅ Indicate that this is a repeat appeal
• ✅ Be patient — the process may take 1-4 weeks
• ✅ Remember: you have the right to objective review

DON'T:

• ❌ Don't be rude or threaten (this will guarantee denial)
• ❌ Don't spam appeals every hour (optimal: once every 2-4 days)
• ❌ Don't contradict yourself in different appeals
• ❌ Don't mention that "other agents denied"
• ❌ Don't give up after 1-3 denials

---

📈 Increasing Success with Each Attempt

The math is on your side:

If the probability of reaching a competent agent = 67%, then:

• After 1 attempt: 67% success chance
• After 2 attempts: 89% success chance
• After 3 attempts: 96% success chance
• After 5 attempts: 99%+ success chance

Conclusion: Each new appeal is a new chance to reach an agent who will objectively review your situation.
