My questions weren't on the FAQ, but they were pretty multiboxer specific, so I guess I'll ask here.

Has blizzard talked about how Beta stuff works with Battlenet? Will we only get one chance at it or do we get as many shots at it as we have WoW accounts?

And minor issue, after you put in your username and password and you get to the point where you have to pick your sub account, what order do they put them in? Most recent used? Time created? Time merged into battlenet?

Not really big deals, but I'm just curious and would like to know before I go and do it.

If you use software that virtualizes your config.wtf files then you're all good. After you merge and login for the first time your sub-account names are saved in your config.wtf files. If you don't use virtualized [or separate] config.wtf files then you'll be manually selecting sub-account names each time you login.

Good question. I am thinking that it should work the same as before, or at least Blizzard would have to change it deliberately. Your WOW accounts are still separate from each other, they're just linked to a battle.net account. I got two beta invites for the tBC beta even though my email address was the same for both accounts, so I figure that they still differentiate between your accounts.

I haven't seen them say anything about it. I think they can see 1 battle.net account with 5 accounts just as easily as they can see 5 accounts with their own battle.net account just by looking at the name / address on the accounts.

AFAIK they are listed in the order in which you added them to your battle.net account. That is how they appear in everything I see when I have to select a sub account.

Mine are listed in reverese alpabetical order of my account name, i.e. Z T J D A.

The account I added last appears in the middle of my group.
