Multiple BNet accounts & security

[Iru]

Thanks all. Tickets to merge my bnet's submitted.

Hi guys! I'm new to the forum and new to multi-boxing...but loving it so far. I had a very similar (but slightly different question) so I thought I 'd just post it here rather than start a new thread. I too started with 2 diff battle.net accounts, and have since recently added 4 wow accts on BN#1 and 3 acts on BN#2 for a total of 7 wow accts...reason being is because I did RAF, and I kind of messed up, so had to get two additional accts. Anyway, I hope to eventually get up to 10 total wow acts, so I can MB some raid stuff, but that is prob a bit down the road.

My question is, is there a maximum amount of wow accts that can be tied to a single Bnet acct? In other words, can I merge all 10 wow acts under one Bnet acct? With all the recent perks to account sharing, this would be ideal, but I'm just not sure if it can be done. I know there are probably some 10 boxers out there that may know the answer. Thanks!

You can have up to 8 WoW licenses per B-net account.

Ah, thanks. I'll just stick with my original plan of 5 and 5 then.

Yeah, don't know why it isn't 10

And there's no good reason not to with all of the account-wide benefits.

1. You can pet battle yourself if you have separate BNet accounts
2. You have account limits if you want to merge all to 1 account.

Ah I see olibri already answered the thing about pet battles. I too am a boxer who has multiple bnet accounts and was caught in this authenticator problem. I decided to simply remove authentication from account 2 and keep all gold quantities in excess of 5000 on account 1 (the only one of my three that has this protection now) I might decide to merge later but I'd like to see how the pet battles thing shakes out.

I also wanted to say that I find the pet battle thing annoying. At no other point in the history of multiboxing has blizzard chosen to penalize players for multiboxing in any way, I know this isn't a huge design decision, but I don't want to have to worry about other ways they want to treat people paying $75 a month less than five people paying $15. Was no one else a little concerned about that decision? Or do we think its a merely technical issue?

Is it a penalty or a limitation? Seeing as pets are account bound, it's probably a limitation with the fact that you can't fight your own pets against each other.

If your using the mobile authenticator on an android based device, and said device is "rooted" you can have the same app installed more than once. i have the authenticator installed on my device 2x for 2 bnet accounts and it works just fine. since wow is the only thing i use the device for security of it isn't an issue. just my 2 cents
