From my experiance helping others through this experiance, It Honestly veries, Usually you can see characters returned in short order if they have been transfered off server, or deleted, But gear being returned usually can take a week to 4 weeks to trickle in.
Bugger... its been 2.5 days now and not a word other than the autoreplies from Blizz.
My 5 accounts each have 5-10 characters on them, all alts that I have played in the past. Every single one of them has been stripped to the point that they are unplayable and in general naked. If I pooled absolutely everything that I have left and vendored it, I might be able to buy 1-2 pieces of green armour so that I can go questing or something. Maybe its time to ask guildies for a loan, but I really despise doing that.
Do they generally return gold as well as items. Do they return emblems, honour and arena points?
This is what irritates me about Blizzard. B.net login is an email address? And can other users 'friend' you based on your login name? This is what I really liked about the pre-b.net system for WoW - NO ONE knows your login name unless you give it out or it's keylogged. I haven't converted to b.net yet, and I'm not too happy about the change.. looks like I'll be creating a new email address JUST for WoW, and it won't be handed out anywhere or to anyone.
Yesterday, I did the B.Net conversion.
One B.Net account per WoW account.
My single authenticator lets me log in to each simultaneously.
Each of the emails is created with my service provider.
Did not want to use a free service, like say hotmail, which sells email addresses.
Made the addresses long and semi-random, to make it harder to guess them.
And will not send anything to or from them either.
Pretty much used exclusively for wow and nothing else.
And have the authenticator connected of course.
But, as pointed out in the other thread...
How many people use the same email for a lot of things?
Are you saying that the email you used for your bnet account is different than whats on your WoW account? If so, can this be a potential problem?Quote:

Your personal contact email address can be different than your b.net email address/account name.
I have an email through my service provider.
I also have an email through yahoo and another through hotmail.
Pretty much use the hotmail, when you need to enter an email address, but wouldn't want to actually enter your own.
Conversely, the one through my provider is used by friends/family, to contact me.
I get 10 email addresses through the provider.
So just created 5 new ones, which are now the B.Net user names for my accounts.
These emails have never sent anything, any have only received the Blizzard B.Net confirmation email.
I won't use them to send anything.
Or as a username/email anywhere on the web.
It's not perfect, but guessing a username and a password combination, is a bit hard.
Already knowing the username, allows for brute force password attempts.
I suppose a keylogger could learn either, but that's what the authenticator is for.
