Battlenet to battlenet transfers

[David]

Simple, anyone knows if they are possible?

I cannot add more accounts to my current one and seriously cba to level with just heirbloom and boosting. I was thinking of getting 2 more accounts and boost me up a second team. Then transfer those to my main accounts. After that I just merge those 2 into a Bnet account and boost me more team. Those can be transfered over after the 60days. Don`t need them anytime soon anyway, just need one new team for now.

So the question is also, can I transfer from seprate accounts to a battlenet one.

Thanks in advance.

You can transfer between bnet accounts.

[Multibocks]

Ya i have done this and they will ask for your secret question answer, which shouldnt be a problem.

[David]

So also from a seprate account that isn`t battlenet yet?

So if I have:
existing1 invites new1
and
existing2 invites new2

and boost them with existing3 which will be done in like 2days I can transfer them new1 and new2 to existing1 and 2? So no waiting time after creating an account I guess?

[Multibocks]

Hmm I would say yes, but I cant remember if I battlenetted up my outside accts at that point....

[Coltimar]

No, you will have to add that account to a b.net account. They made me at least. One thing I noticed is that xferring within the same b.net account was much faster than going between. The first transfer was about 10-15 minutes and the inter-account one was closer to 45 mins.

[David]

So basicly I cannot make accounts only to get to 60. I have to upgrade the new accounts and keep playing on those or I`d have to wait untill the 60days are over.

[Coltimar]

I think you could make an account, add it to a separate b.net account, level to 60 then transfer those toons to your main b.net account. That would work.

[David]

Don`t new bnet accounts get blocked from transfering for 60days?

[Ualaa]

I believe they do.

[Coltimar]

Aren't you going to make RAF accounts? I was thinking you would be leveling for 90 days because of that. I see in your first post that you aren't in a super hurry so this might work out for you well.

Confirmed ...I X-fered my toons before I merged my accounts for that very reason.

[Jaws5]

Hmmmm,

If you have 7 accounts tied to same Bnet account , you can share Heirlooms between the accounts? If that is true, I'm all over that. That would be a time saver and then some. hard to do 7 man in 5 or 10 man instances.

You cannot transfer a character off a merged account from a Battle.net account for 30 days. If you merge an account into the same Battle.net 30 day limit does not apply. Most people do not have more then 8 accounts so its never a problem. They are trying to prevent any number of abuses of the Character Transfer Service by imposing this 30 day wait period.

At this time that is not possible, in a recent blue post it was made public, its something they might consider. Each World of Warcraft is still separate, even if its merged, so it might not happen.

[Multibocks]

Hmm I merged my accounts and dont remember trouble with a waiting period on transfers.

[Ualaa]

The waiting period does not apply within the same B.Net account.
It's when you're transferring from one B.Net account to a different B.Net account.

[Multibocks]

Oh ok well then I can make no assertions one way or the other ;)

[Prepared]

It's 30 days. Other than that, the same rules apply from the accounts that were not battle.net accounts , i.e. the names have to be the same. However, you cannot transfer from a battle.net account to a non-battle.net account. By next month that won't matter much though.

[Aragent]

Simple Yes you can have a total of 8 games per Battlenet account. Be this 8 wow accounts or 7 wow and 1 Starcraft (Though currently wow is the only available game)

You Can transfer characters between any of those wow accounts inside of the Battle net account
General Restrictions

Once a World of Warcraft account is merged into a Battle.net account, some restrictions will apply for account-to-account transfers:

• Characters may only be transferred between World of Warcraft accounts which have already been merged with a Battle.net account.

• In order to transfer characters between World of Warcraft accounts merged with different Battle.net accounts, both Battle.net accounts must be registered in the same name

You can Have more than 1 Battlenet account
Example if you have 2 Battlenet accounts this would give you the option of havening 16 Wow Accounts 8 per Battlenet account.

Now can you Transfer Characters between accounts of Battlenet 1 and Battlenet 2 the answer is yes but its a bit more tricky.

30 Day Restriction on Transfers Between Battle.net Accounts

When a World of Warcraft account is merged with a Battle.net account, an additional temporary transfer restriction is put into place. This will also affect account-to-account transfers in a few ways:

• For 30 days after the merge, character transfers are only possible between World of Warcraft accounts that are merged within the same Battle.net account.

• During the 30 day transfer restriction period, character transfers may not be made to a different Battle.net account. Transfers from different Battle.net accounts which are older than 30 days are still permitted.

• Transfers within the same Battle.net account are still subject to the standard 3-day Character Transfer cooldown.

So In Conclusion:

For the First 30 Days you can only transfer characters between the 8 wow accounts inside each Battlenet account and not between Battlenet accounts

After 30 days You can transfer Characters between wow accounts From one Battlenet account to the other. Provided they are owned by same person.

And lastly no you cannot transfer characters from a wow account into a wow account inside a Battlenet account Only Transfers from inside a battlenet account or from one Batlenet account to another are allowed

Hope This has helped explained Battlenet wow character Transfers

30 days

I added mine 15 days ago ( my 9th,10th and 11th accounts ) and they have 15 days remaining before i can transfer to my other bnet acnt.

[Moorea]

do you guys know if battlenet merges are possible ?

I created a new battle net account for my 6th sub but I'm starting to think I should have added it to my main battle.net instead - do you think that's possible (move the whole account; instead of transferring toons)

If you talk to billing they'll likely be able to fix the problem for you.

I've gone the opposite route, 5 wow accounts and 5 B.Net accounts.
Basically I've given up on the benefits on one account management page.
But don't have the log in hassles with the authenticator either.

So you have 5 authenticators? I have thought of this but I figured I wouldn't be saving myself anything about about 2 minutes of time and would be adding the headache of keeping track of them all, lol.

I`m going to get 2 totally new accounts. This way I can get several new teams going. I want to transfer my 2 shamans of the soon to be old accounts to the new. Does the transfer block also count for incomming transfers to a new battlenet?

Edit: Can those shamans take heirblooms or do I have to send them to other chars first? + do you need the upgrade of wotlk to use heirblooms?
