Finally merged my 3 bnets are there going to be any issues I am not currently aware of?

[luxlunae]

So far the things I can think of that this will change are:

1) can now share all my heirlooms/arch BOAs across all 5 accounts
2) shared mounts
3) cannot pet duel (don't care about this... dueling doesn't award xp anyway)
4) might cause some hiccups in isboxer as I reconfigure each toon (considering a fresh setup anyway)

edit:

5) instant mail!

I get instant mail with my guild anyway, so that was never a problem. The best part of your merge is that you can now protect everything with 1 authenticator!

[Grondir]

You'll lose any battle pets from the battle.nets that moved over

[roddo]

you mean he'll lose any pets that are limited to 1 or the others if he had over 3. otherwise he won't lose any. Only a big deal if you end up losing some of the tradeable ones that are worth alot on the AH atm, but for the most part those are few at least on my server.

you car't go back once you go over.

here a few more things u missed

you only have access to the ptr/beta once (does not matter if you made your old accounts ptr accessible. theres always pemades anyway on there anyway)

You can make support tickets from any char on your battle.net good for when chars get stuck or multiple problems i used to have to open tickets under each account

thanks for the stuff to think about guys, I was aware of the battle pet issue but the accounts I moved haven't even been active since battle pets came out so I'm not concerned about that.

the single authenticator is definitely the reason I made this change. My first two bnet accounts used to be covered under the same mobile authenticator and sort of grandfathered in after that was banned, but this summer the forced authenticator reset meant that I had to choose and bump one, which got hacked within a few days of being reactivated (not a huge pain, I was playing at the time so they only had about 8 minutes on my account, enough time to vendor strip one toon, it was easily restored) which is when I decided I needed to merge down. The best part is going to be spectral tiger x5.

I didn't have instant mail before for all my toons because 1/3rd of them are in a real guild and the rest in my (level 5 now) bank guild.

If you're boxing eight or fewer accounts, one B.Net is the way to go.

I'll broadcast the log in information to all accounts.
Disable broadcast, and push enter.
If there's an authenticator required, enter that.
Once it's entered, broadcast and press enter for the others to log in too (without an authenticator requirement, since I just verified I had it).
If there was no authenticator, enable broadcast and press enter immediately to get the others logging in too.

The only drawback so far for me...
I'm in the process of RAF, for 10-boxing, which means two B.Net accounts minimum.
All five of my guys with 100K achievements are on the first B.Net.
In hindsight, I should have left at least one of those on the second B.Net.
Which would mean Vial of the Sands and <Of the Horde/Alliance> on every toon for both factions.

Found a drawback

I can no longer list auctions on the neutral AH while buying using the in game auction house on another. I CAN buy my own auctions thank god but this was the simplest way to manage my AH (since my horde toons are only level 20ish and far from a physical neutral AH).

av not done this for a long time it used to work so it must be a new thing

Blizzard support has a new feature; you can do an online chat instead of the phone call.

The phone support said their queue was entirely full and to try back later.
So I tried the chat thing.

It took about 3 minutes to connect.
There was a bug, where I could not scroll all the way to the bottom of the chat window, so the most recent thing typed by either myself of the representative would not display.
After figuring that out, a series of *bump* comments got the most recent message into the viewable area.
Aside from that, great feature.

An online chat GM can move accounts from on B.Net address to another.
I had previously had five B.Net emails, each with their own account.
Towards the end of the summer, I merged them all (via the phone tech support) into the one B.Net.
But going for ten boxing, and having a limit of eight accounts on one B.Net means at a minimum I'll need two B.Net accounts.

The representative needed my security question, and the address & phone numbers on the account.
The entire process took less than five minutes.

I've got original accounts, on both of the B.Nets now, so in theory I'll have B.Net wide mounts and achieves on all ten accounts.
Will update later, to see if that is actually the case.
