| WoW and Battle.net account merging now mandatory
From Ars Technica: Quote: |
Blizzard is giving World of Warcraft players one month to merge their accounts with Battle.net, after which point non-Battle.net accounts will no longer be able to log into the game.

I haven't logged into b.net for MANY years... I wouldn't have a clue how to log into my account if it even exists

You just go there and go to the merge thing. It'll ask you for your wow login and your e-mail address. Takes about two seconds. I had to merge mine to sign up for the SCII beta opt-in. | |

I merged mine back months ago when you could get a free battlebot for your toons. I believe you can still merge the account by going to worldofwarcraft.com. I can't remember though as I quit playing wow a couple months ago.

I don't know about that. WoW makes them so much money they'd be stupid to ignore it. Someday it won't be #1, but that day will be a while from now. | |

I have a feeling they are taking a page from SOE and by merging all their games under one account they can offer you a "discount" on upgrading your account from one to multiple games. How much time you spend on each doesnt matter since if you only played one game it would be the same essential cost, why not make it a "better" value and get more money out of you so you can switch between games freely. | |

makes sense. allows them to offer things a-la-carte similar to Steam.

less accounts to memorize, less passwords to write down on your monitor with a postit
overall better security for them if they can have a singletgateway system to access all services.
multiple users systems = multiple gateways. | |
