World of Warcraft

Account merge available

Since spring 2009 World of Warcraft players can merge their accounts with their Battle.net account. The procedure is as followed, note that it cannot be reversed:

These steps may have changed.

• Create a Battle.net account
• Click the "Merge World of Warcraft account"
• Enter your World of Warcraft details
• Click the confirm button
• You now login with your Battle.net account in World of Warcraft

Required merge

On Oct. 12, 2009, it was announced that WoW accounts would need to be converted into Battle.net accounts within 30 days. This is mandatory, as a Battle.net account will be required to log into the game after Nov. 11, and anyone who wants to start a new WoW account has to make a Battle.net account first. Anyone who had converted their account before Nov. 11 would be mailed in-game a new penguin companion in thanks for converting early, starting later the week of the announcement.^[1] The first companions were mailed to players three days later, on Oct. 15, 2009.

Once your WoW account has been converted, the current expansion that you play will show up as a 'merged game' in your Battle.net account. If your WoW account has an authenticator attached to it, it will also be transferred over.

Old Games

If you still have your old Blizzard games, you can add (US, EU) their (CD-)key to your Battle.net account so the both are linked together.

Starcraft II beta opt-in

With the upcoming Starcraft II beta Blizzard allows people with a battle.net account to opt-in for it. However they require you to have at least 1 Blizzard game linked with your battle.net account.

Store

Your Battle.net account is directly linked to your Blizzard Store account and purchases should show up on your Battle.net account.
