Good practice for what exactly? Surely this individual giving advice about VPN usage gave a reason for why you'd want to not only hide your actual IP when connecting to Blizzard's servers, but also have it change on a fairly regular basis?


Blizzard will merge your accounts if you want them to.

I'm unsure, I have noticed it improve latency on a few occasions, i know that is typically not the case with VPNs but will definitely be turning it off for wow from now on, I can understand how it would cause issues for their logging purpose.

Once the dust settles from all this i will surely contact blizzard and get them to merge my accounts into two groups of 5, this surely will help smooth any issues in the future i hope.

Unless it was by happenstance routing around some sort of congested node, I can't imagine how a VPN could improve latency or throughput as it has the additional overhead of encrypting/decrypting everything that goes over it.

I agree, i understand how the VPN works and typically it would be worse but pinging google through cmd with it on and off and with it on was like 30ms better so wasnt gonna argue with it lol. Even in the best cases tho 30 better ping is not worth me getting locked out wow for a few days so this will no longer be a issue in the future.

Update:

Finally got all accounts back. They never told me what it was but im sure it had to do with using a VPN and my accounts being new, thats why my main was not affected.

I'm happy for you. Unfortunately my case got rejected 3 times in a row.
