Battle.net Account

[Zal]

So Blizzard has now created another... uh... thingy. These "Battle.net" accounts are supposed to link all Blizzard Entertainment game accounts into one account name and password. Which means all WoW accounts, all Diablo accounts, all Starcraft accounts, etc. are being merged into one account.
Pros: Only have to remember one account name and password.
Con: Gonna suck hell if you get hacked.

I was just reading about this...

I think I'll check it out.
Edit: Merging all my accounts into the one account: You input your login information, then your authenticator code if you have one, then you finalize. A simple thing. If you have more than one account it'll ask if you're the sole user of said account. No need for screenshots at this point.

I'll update this in a little bit with screenshots of how it changes the way you log in, if it changes how files are managed, etc.

Q: How do I log in if I’ve merged multiple World of Warcraft accounts?
A: After you log in to World of Warcraft using the Battle.net Account, you will be prompted to select which of the merged World of Warcraft accounts you wish to play. Players with multiple World of Warcraft accounts are still able to log in and play them simultaneously.

Quick update:



This is how it looks when you login to the game AND the account management page. I've left my account names in, well, because it doesn't matter anymore!

Notes:
1: You can switch which account you want to manage without logging out, then back in, then putting in ANOTHER authenticator key.
2: This is how it looks when you login (FOR THE FIRST TIME!).

After you do this(you SHOULD get a little box under your account name field saying which account you want to log into. Make sure Save Account Name is checked.)
This is how it should look.


As far as addons being messed up, there is no indication of anything being amiss.

So far, I'm liking it!

And for those interested on how the battle.net account page looks...here it is!

It said something about benefits for making these accounts together wonder what that is implying ?(


o and btw having all thee accounts under battle net will keep us from being looked at for selling accounts :thumbup:

Ya, waiting for them too make the merging available for EU accounts. :<

We'll just have to see! =D

Edit: Interesting thing, it seems blizzard has a authenticator program in the works that'll run off your mobile phone. I didn't look much into it, other than it's only available for korean users.

If you're talking about your WoW CD key, you don't use it. You use your current account name/password.
