Probably a virus? attempt to hack my unexistant WoW account?

Attempt to have access+hack your WoW account.
People do it with Maple all the time. Or at least they used to.
I'm wondering how they even got your e-mail if you don't have a WoW account.

Will is right, do not visit any of the links in the email as they COULD have a virus, the email is a phishing attempt to get your wow account, since you got the email and don't own a wow account it is a likely chance that the email that was sent to was used on a wow fansite, rumor has it sometimes their data is "leaked" Lol

Of course I didn't and won't click any of the links,And as will said I wonder how they got my E-mail.

Probably from a friend that played a lot of WoW and just had his msn hacked.

Email back saying you don't have a WoW account?

I doubt I would get a reply, and that could increase the spam.

Not sure you read my entire post, at the bottom I gave a suggestion that your email could have been used on a WoW Fansite as that is assumed how you get most of those phishing emails, by what you said it is.a possibility they saw your friends msn logs and found your email, that is a random thought as I don't know how msn works
