Guild name surprise

Members of my guild got a surprise over the weekend when we logged
in to find our guild name changed to <Blizzard Europe - Game M>

I've no idea how that happened - I imagine someone at Blizzard
screwed up somehow.

It made my multiboxing a little more interesting - a paladin followed
by 4 identical shamans with a blizzard tag seemed to raise a few
eyebrows! I got a few more /waves than normal.

After opening a ticket and talking to a GM we managed to get
it changed back (after 2 attempts...).

If you do a /who on anyone in my guild they still show with the
Blizzard tag, but this will allegedly be fixed in the next
maintennace period.

Fortunately, nobody in the guild was silly enough to try to
impersonate a real GM, which could have caused problems.

Strange story.

Out of interest, do GMs wonder the world as real characters?
