Mountain Dew Battle Bot Pets

[Svpernova09]

There is no way to get a really good SS of them all, hell I think one is UNDER the picnic table. It's kinda cool, ALL your toons get one in the mail. It may expire as the coloring is supposed to, so whenever you do it, make sure to check ALL your toons you want the pet on.

How do you tell the mtn dew site that you are a wow player?

Once you log in, there is a link on the bottom right that says something like "get the battle bot pet" and it takes you to battle.net to login. Once you do that it tells you that you need to log all the way out and back in and you should have the pet in the mail.

so wait, you have to have switched over to bnet login in order to get the battlebot?

Yes you need a battle.net account.

battle.net account AND must be in the US/EU


MMO-C is reporting EU can get it as well.

Has anyone found any reason not to add the accounts to battle.net?

I've put it off because I don't want to be hassled but I might go for it if there is a nifty in game pet involved.

it seems like they have "fixed" it with the EU accounts (cause it was only for US players)
i tryed to get one at 6:30 AM (german time) after the server restart and it doesnt worket :/ no ingame mail for me but on the battle.net site was written "gratulation! [...]".
on a german wow communitysite i've read that some players get the pet (there were news comments until 3 AM with "yeah! got one!!")

damn

There was a day for at least a few hours that anyone with a battle.net account couldn't log in but everyone else could. Also if you get your password stolen they get access to all your accounts not just one. Lastly, once you switch to battle.net account you cant go back.

I haven't seen a good enough reason for me to do it yet and a pet isn't going to change my mind.

If they steal your password to one account, they likely already keylogged your system so they have them all. Buy a $6 authenticator and you'll never lose an account, period.
There have been hundreds of hours where accounts of all types haven't been able to log in - since converting to a battle.net account I've not had a single login issue, I'm sure that won't be true forever, but it's a moot point.
No reason to switch back.

Given time it won't be an option, if you want to log into WoW you are going to need to register as battle.net.
