My fourth account was upgraded online.

So I have 3 packets to unwrap, when I get inside there's another cellophaned box, and a long code I'll have to put in.

But each D3 account needs to be on separate email addresses, so I attempt to login to my accounts - after multiple attempts to login, which included being IP blocked from the battle.net site, I found out my account was locked due to suspicious activity!

So password reset, but oh no I don't remember my email passwords - so I had to recover each of the email passwords, then recover each of the battle.net account passwords, then go through the pain of unwrapping each game and inputting the code.

That was so much more painful then it had to be..

The pain...

I was slightly disappointed when I saw the picture, having seen the standard of your amazing photo's on this site before. Your boxes are not aligned properly!

Had I waited till I got home, instead of my office desk - I could have stood them up against some black velvet backdrop and had some dramatic lighting :D .. hah

Use + in the mail address you use.
For example, lets say my email is abcd@gmail.com and I want 4 diablo accounts (hence 4 b.net accounts) all using this email.
When I create the bnet accounts I use the emails abcd+diablo1@gmail.com, abcd+diablo2@gmail.com, abcd+diablo3@gmail.com and abcd+diablo4@gmail.com. this will register as different email in blizzard, but will cause all emails to be sent to abcd@gmail.com

It's worth noting that this is specifically a feature of gmail e-mail addresses, and does NOT apply to 99.99999% other mail hosts. :)

Another trick you can use with gmail is dots. if you have abcd@gmail.com, you will also receive the emails from abc.d@gmail.com, ab.cd@gmail.com, a.b.c.d@gmail.com, etc.

Huh are you sure about that? Back in the day when gmail was still invite only I registered a whole bunch of names and set them up with forwards. One of them was myfirstnamemylastname@gmail.com. The only other dude in the world with the same name like me (family) mailed me a while later if it was fine if he registered myfirstname.mylastname@gmail.com. Ever since we both use our own, even happen to send emails to eachother now and then.

Yes, we're sure about that.

Off topic, but my dad sent a picture yesterday (Calgary), showing that there is a foot of snow covering their hot tub...
That's a first world problem too.

[zenga]

Yes, we're sure about that.

Fair enough. I double checked and it is still like this: I have myfirstnamemylastname@gmail.com and the other guy myfirstname.mylastname@gmail.com (myfirstnamemylastname@gmail.com) and both our emails arrive how they should. So I can only assume there are some exceptions.

This is an amazing suggestion. I've not played D3 and just bought 2 copies recently (2 more to come), and set them up using this method.

Much easier than having 4 different email accounts!

Thanks!
