battle.net account needed to play wow. What a crock of crap. So, to sum it up, you will need to create a battle.net account and link it to your WoW account. They want ppl who have multiple accounts to add them all to the one battle.net account (and will require it it seems) so if someone cracks your battle.net account you loose all your game accounts instead of just one....brilliant. Oh, and if you're looking at getting StarCraft 2 or Diablo 3 you'll need to have a battle.net account for that too, even to play the single player campaign. Fun stuff, full of needless red tape, giving way more monitoring power to Blizzard who's already illegally done a hardware spec pull off all our comps about a month ago which is completely illegal since they didn't give an opt out option. And again there'll be no opt out option, get a battle.net account or have your account inoperable but still billed.
Fucking brilliant. EQ (MT/EMarr), WoW, EQ2, L2, VG, CoH, DDO, LoTRO, WAR, Neocron2, Requiem, AO, AoC,SWToR, Aion, plus a metric ton of trials and betas (in no set order) Waiting on TSW since Dark Millenium was canned. |

I think that'll only matter to the achievement whores who NEED to get every one of the useless achievements like "OMGZ I read all the books in Dalaran" and similar.
I think this'll end up costing wow more subs than Aion's release did :P EQ (MT/EMarr), WoW, EQ2, L2, VG, CoH, DDO, LoTRO, WAR, Neocron2, Requiem, AO, AoC,SWToR, Aion, plus a metric ton of trials and betas (in no set order) Waiting on TSW since Dark Millenium was canned. |

I have a steam account with probably 12 games on there, L4D,TF2,HL2,CoH, Batman arkam.. if some 1 got my steam logins I mighty lose all those games too. Why is it wrong when Blzzard want to create one account for all their games? More blizzard hate me think. Some times people need to look after themselves and learn some responsibility.
And if that is so hard to do, there is nothing stopping you making a bnet account for each individual game, so its all a fuss about nothing. Now give me my penguin! |

Hopefully they have all the bugs worked out with the b.net accounts. When I was playing WAR I got an email saying my WoW account was banned for suspicious activity and to get it back I needed to contact customer support. Out of curiosity I called Blizzard up and after telling the guy my WoW account had been canceled for well over a year he laughed and told me that they were seeing many problems with old (canceled) accounts being stolen with the b.net change-over. They were super nice and within minutes had my account reset with a new username and password complete with 21 days paid subscription remaining lol. Since then I have been leery about changing my accounts to b.net. www.agonysend.org |

i have had the Bnet account since they announced it, as long as you are smart about things you will never get hacked, unfortunately most people on the net don't seem to be. also for 6 bucks pick up an authenticator, they are nice added security.

Comon guys, merge the damn accounts to have the penguim... You can even buy a leash and show off your penguim on that space ship they turned in city, Exodar. Who doesnt like to buy an harley davidson like bike, and then go for a spin on a space craft city showing off your penguim. Groovy

Wow. Making it more of a hassle to resub isn't going to win me back, Blizzard.

the leashes are awesome, especially the pretty one, so i can't wait to put it on my penguin, collecting pets is nice and relaxing. I don't care much for the bikes, but in a way WoW has had that steampunk kinda feel to it with all the engineering n stuff. not sure which mount i like the best at the moment, i do ride my blizzcon bear alot, it has a cool murloc baby riding on the back =D Exodar is sweet, i like to do most of my business there since its not as crowded as other places.
Oh! and you can get a cool fetch ball to play with your penguin! "The great thing about human language is that it prevents us from sticking to the matter at hand." |

only in anticipation when typing your next stellar post I'm sure. uhoh, time for you to change your troll underwear again I think you made a mess in those ones EQ (MT/EMarr), WoW, EQ2, L2, VG, CoH, DDO, LoTRO, WAR, Neocron2, Requiem, AO, AoC,SWToR, Aion, plus a metric ton of trials and betas (in no set order) Waiting on TSW since Dark Millenium was canned. |

I get a bit tired of all the wanna-be lawyers who claim game companies break laws of free speech, privacy, data acquisition and storage, etc. without really having a clue (not saying you don't, but surely you must agree that it is the norm). I think a little poking fun of your (imo) overly snappy response was warranted though, just like your retort was warranted for me. No vendetta, I hope. :-) |

So, I do Blizzards job of moving my info to the new account and they give me a pixel Penguin? I only have one Blizzard account, so why can't they just move the info over? And then give me the pet for having to go through the hassle of logging in in a different way? ;)
