ERROR 203, Can't Create Last Trial Account

[krinkle]

Hello,

I am setting up a new multi-box setup and am trying to register 4 new accounts for 5-boxing. I have registered all of the accounts except the last one, which is giving me ERROR 203.

I have tried:

1) clearing all cookies, history, etc, using a powerful utility called CCleaner.

2) changing my IP address.

3) calling Blizzard account support, where I waited on the phone for 40 minutes before someone said they could'nt help me. He said I should call the technical department directly at a long distance number (NOT free 1-800).

I have Google searched "Blizzard ERROR 203" and tons of people have had this problem when trying to make multiple accounts.

If anyone can help me that would be really great, I am one trial account away from 5 Shamans.

Hey Krinkle. I had the same problem when I made my 5th account. I used my Visa card for the first 3 extra accounts but
had this same problem when i made my 4th extra account (5 in total).

They where all under my name too. Believe me, I spent days with blizzard billing support and didn't have any success. They are completelly useless.
What I did to fix the problem was to just buy a retail copy of the game and use the code. It woked first go and had zero problems with it.

It must be a security measure but I'm not sure.

Hope this helps.

I had this problem creating my trial accounts too. Called the Blizzard toll free phone number and spent 20 minutes on the phone making the guy setup 3 new trial accounts over the phone.

Very friendly folks for me. I explained that I wanted to use the "refer a friend" codes as well and he was happy to do it. He was a multi-boxer as well so he understood what I wanted to do.

yep, I had the same issue. Was told it was an online security issue and I should go purchase the last copy from a retailer by the support person. Working perfectly ever since.

it has to do with too many accounts from the same internet IP, I had the same issue, so I called Blizz and they setup the account and explained that was the issue.

I don't think this is going to work for me because my other 4 accounts are all getting 3x experience from the new "referafriend" program. SO if I just go buy a retail key then the last account will not get 3x XP and will fall too far behind.

My refer-a-friend trial account I created yesterday didn't even ask for a CC. Are you not using refer-a-friend? (and if you aren't, can I ask why not? I'd love to send you a refer-a-friend key for the Zhevra. Hehehe.)

Furthermore, Suvega and I ran into this issue sometime last year when we tried signing up for multiple trials from the same IP. We were creating about 8 accounts. Simply creating the trial account using my work computer (for a different IP address) fixed the issue. Can you try signing up from a friend's computer, or work, or the library?

I'm getting the same problem, can't create my last 2 accounts. I sent them en email because there is a 30 minute wait on the phones right now. Hopefully they can help me soon I'm getting anxious :wacko:

It told me there was a 30 minute wait when i called as well. just call the blizzard toll free number - if you go through the phone troubleshooting you go straight to the top of the queue and you get a person in just a couple minutes.

you can do the refer-a-friend over the phone as long as you have the code to give them over the phone.
