    I've been receiving these emails for the last year now, since I stopped playing. My account hasn't been banned, and nothing has been done.

    It's most likely an attempt to phish your account, despite the legitimate links.

    Just ignore them for now. If your account does get deactivated, you can always call them. :)

    Tezlin is correct, it is a phising attempt.

    I don't know how but someone has most likely stolen or hacked into their email database to find your emails.

    Also just because it is from a @blizzard email doesn't mean it is real. That can be easily faked.

    It is most likely a phishing site. I never use my WoW account email address to sign up for anything due to the frequency of this, and I dislike the possibility of it being real, but not knowing 100% for sure.

    Just ignore it and then create a new email address for your WoW account and you should be set.

    I get these on a daily basis, really quite annoying and I need to find some way to block them from reaching my main email.

    90% chance it's just a virus/phisher.

    I get these all the time. You should always make a separate email for your online game accounts to prevent phishing.

    Just a common tip.
