Want to make sure your Battle.net account is secure when you play World of Warcraft? This week, developer Blizzard announced that they have added an extra way to make sure your account is safe from being hacked. They have set up a toll-free phone number that can be used to authenticate your Battle.net account.

Basically you will now be able to sign into Battle.net while playing World of Warcraft by calling the number, entering your unique PIN and a one-time security code that will show up when you attempt to sign into Battle.net. So far this service is just for US users for World of Warcraft players although support for StarCraft II could be added later

In March of 1998 Blizzard released StarCraft, their new RTS game. While many thought the game would be a sales hit no one predicted that the title would be a huge seller with millions of copies sold worldwide. No one predicted that the game would still be played even today. And it came completely out of left field that the game would become akin to a national sport in South Korea.

With the launch later tonight of the long awaited sequel StarCraft II, Blizzard and its parent company Activision Blizzard expect a massive amount of copies to be sold of the sci-fi RTS game. But how did we get from March 1998 to July 2010. We've got a quick timeline to give you an idea of just how long we have been waiting for this game to be released.

Sure, you have tried to find love via internet sites before but the truth is that when you play an MMO or an RTS with your friends you are already using the internet to find friends to play with. Why not use the same services to find the person of your dreams? Developer Blizzard has launched their new Battle.net service, Matchmaking, on this April Fools Day to do exactly that.

Could you find your true love while battling him or her with a Zerg unit rush in StarCraft II? Hey anything is possible. At least they are in some sort of parallel dimension where this service is actually live.
