Accounts with the Same Last Name and Different First Name

[Vyndree]

Here´s my issue though. I never use my real name on internet forums but imagine this:

Matthew Jones
Matthuw Jones

Call it a typo on the first name. Will that get through the account transfer, are they THAT rigid about it?

To complicate things slightly, the one that´s got one letter wrong doesn´t match my passport. If I ever had that account hacked, would my passport scan with the one letter wrong be unacceptable to Blizzard?

Stormweasel, I apologize for having to lock this thread when you are asking a legitimate question that hasn't completely gotten answered yet. Feel free to start up a new thread if you need more discussion on this.

That being said, the paid transfer system is DESIGNED to work when people accidentally type in a nickname or whatnot. You should be fine transferring characters between these accounts.

HOWEVER, you also have the option of updating the information with Blizzard since it sounds like it's a easily recognizable typo. They will likely require a notarized form of ID be faxed to them to prove that your name does closely match the typo'ed name on the account. This way you never have to worry about getting in a sticky situation since they can update your information to the correct, non-typo'ed version that matches your ID.

I believe people have more success speaking to Blizzard over the phone than via email. If you can't get a hold of them, ping over on the official Customer Service forums and one of the GMs can look into whether or not your e-mail arrived safely at its destination or can advise you on alternate ways to get this done.
