Battle.net conversion for multi accts.

[Ualaa]

Yes, if they're on the same B.Net, then you gain all of the new features...

Things like a drop down box within account management, to manage each account quickly.
I'll need to log out of B.Net and into the next one (the same as everyone did prior to B.Net account implementation).
I'm pretty sure there will be other beneficial features to having multiple accounts on one B.Net; they're talking of making account bound items bound to the B.Net account (no clue if this will ever go in or not).

But one of the new features is one code per each account within one B.Net.
So approximately 30 seconds of delay for each subsequent account after each previous account.

It's a preference between the convenience of quick logging in (while retaining an authenticator) versus the new features which are being implemented.

great sounds like a real pickle to play with, i have to convert my accounts tonight

what i didnt like in the new bnet policy was them forcing you to accept they will share your personal information with third parties.

cool...

Boone can you still log into your accounts? Some people have been hijacked while switching to battle.net

Personally I don't like the fact they are forcing this on us.

I can log into my accounts and play just fine. No hi-jacking.

The whole deal is I can't manage my accounts. It's been roughly 5 days since my conversion over to Battle.net. I've put in an inquiry with blizzard support through e-mail, and I've got a ticket open with GMs, and I haven't heard from anyone through either channel. I've been on hold with this open GM ticket for many, many hours. I'm getting pretty fed up.

Since I started this puppy, I guess I better finish it.

Completed the conversion earlier today with the help of a Blizzard support guy.

Here's what you do. Create 1 acct with your email as the username (they won't let you use anything else). Then merge all 5 of your accts to the one battle.net acct. Next, fire up Keyclone. In the Command Editor select each one of your commands and change the WoW username to your email address. This part was a little wierd for me because Keyclone kept dumping the new info. Half the time it wouldn't save and just reset itself back to the old data. Once your new commands are set (for me it was setup on 2 computers), connect as usual. When the WoW login window comes up, it should have your new login email address instead of your old username. Put your passwords in for all your accts and hit Enter. A box comes up with all of your accts listed. Just select which acct you want to play for each window and you're in.

Thanks for all the help and the replies. Hope this helps someone else.

If you check the box to remember your login information you can skip entering your email address and just put in your password after the initial login.

Hope it makes it a little easier on everyone.

i hate battle.net
I originally was going to do 1 wow = 1 b.net but I broke down and did 5 b.net with 2 accounts each.
I can't find anyone and I'm always logging in the wrong account.
I should have moved one guy over before the merge so now I have to wait 30 days to move him.

I wish I had done 1 wow = 1 b.net like I originally planed to.

[Jheusse]

I debated with myself quite a bit as to whether to go one B.net account or 5, like many here.

5 b.net accounts would allow me to use a single authenticator entry to log in on all 5 at once, which would be convenient but slightly less secure. I haven't set up my authenticator yet, I wanted to hget the bnet login stable first.

Biggest reason I went to 1 bnet account instead of 5 is just a hunch/wish. I foresee a time when Bind to Account becomes more global to your bnet account in terms of heirlooms. You can't do it today, but I just have a hunch/fervent wish that one day you will be able to share your heirlooms among your toons on the same bnet account, even if only on the same faction or server.

Which would be nice, as my main account has tons of shards and badges and such, but my RAF/alt accounts have squat at this time.

At the end of the day doing one account was also lazier, and I don't/won't run enough accounts to cap out the bnet account.

[Dramoth]

I am actually going to look at converting from 1 b.net account with my 5 wow accounts to 5 b.net accounts with 1 wow account in each.

Then I am setup for when the next xpac comes out to setup my RAF accounts in with the accounts for my worgen team that I will be setting up.

I need to move some toons around first before I do this though.

Well, as of Yesterday, I can log into the Account Management pages.

I got an e-mail from Blizzard support saying "nothing is or ever was wrong and it must be you." I read the e-mail and tried again and I got in on the first try... Funny, Blizzard....Very funny...

migrated to 5 accounts to 5 B-net accounts. Login with authenticator. all 5 at the same time, no problems so far.

If Blizz really brings out features that justify to have 5 accounts in 1 Bnet account, I can still decide hen to move chars or accounts.

and if blizz decides to limit the authenticator simultanious login to one B-net account I can decide to use auth or not, or to migrate ...
