Re: All Accounts Need to Switch to Battle.net by 11/12

Confirmed for US realms as well. More here.

A few months ago, we unveiled the Battle.net account, our new way for players to log in to World of Warcraft and future Blizzard games, sign up for upcoming beta tests, shop the online Blizzard Store, and more with just one username and password. This was just the first step in the rollout of the brand-new Battle.net; in the future, players will be able to use Battle.net to participate in cross-realm chat in World of Warcraft, create real-life friends lists, communicate across different games, and a whole lot more.

In preparation for the launch of these new features, on November 11, 2009, all current World of Warcraft players will be required to merge their World of Warcraft accounts with a Battle.net account in order to log in to the game. As our way to say “thanks” for taking a moment to go through the process, existing World of Warcraft accounts that upgrade to Battle.net (including those that have already switched over) will receive a brand-new penguin in-game pet -- check for him in your in-game mailbox later this week. Starting on November 11, all World of Warcraft players will need to log in to the game using a Battle.net username and password, and anyone who wishes to create a new World of Warcraft account will need to start with a Battle.net account.

Creating a Battle.net account is simple and free. To merge your existing account with a Battle.net account, visit http://us.battle.net . For more info, check out the Battle.net site or read the FAQ: The new Battle.net Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What happens if I don’t merge my World of Warcraft account with a Battle.net account?

A: After November 12, 2009, you won’t be able to log in to the game unless you merge your account with a Battle.net account. You will need to log in using your Battle.net account username (your email address) and password.

Q: How can I obtain the penguin pet?
A: Once you’ve successfully merged a World of Warcraft account with a Battle.net account, the penguin pet will be sent via in-game mail to all existing characters on the merged World of Warcraft account, along with all future characters on that World of Warcraft account. Players who merged previously will also receive the pet this way.

Q: Do I need to merge by a certain date in order to receive the penguin?
A: We plan to remove the ability to get the penguin pet at some point in the future, we haven’t determined exactly when just yet.

Q: If I create a new World of Warcraft account, will I receive the pet?
A: Only existing World of Warcraft accounts that merge with a Battle.net account are eligible to receive the penguin pet. If you create a new Battle.net account after November 11 and merge an existing World of Warcraft account with it you will still be able to receive the pet. However, please note that we plan to remove the ability to get the penguin pet at some point in the future.
I've been playing WOW now for about a year, but never heard of Battlenet until I saw information on the WOW logon screen that all personal data was being collected for it. I just followed the thread explaining what this Battlenet is; however, according this Q & A information, I was to have received an email with more information, but no information has ever been sent to me from Blizzard about it. Do I need to contact Blizzard? Can anyone who is in this situation receive the Penguin pet?
Q: Are these Battle.net Accounts related to Blizzard Accounts?
A: Battle.net Accounts are an evolution of the existing Blizzard Accounts. If you already use a Blizzard Account, you do not need to create a new Battle.net Account -- the Blizzard Account has been automatically converted, and people with existing Blizzard Accounts have received an email containing more information.

Re: All Accounts Need to Switch to Battle.net by 11/12

err what email are you expecting?

battle.net is a service that has been used for every past blizzard game that featured online multiplayer game play. think of it as Steam or Live except it's exclusive to blizzard titles only. for years it's only been used to match making and now b net 2.0 is meant to bring in new tools to allow for better social networking ( cross game chat etc )

according to the faq, you get a pet if you have merged, will merge between now and cut off date and merge after cut off date till time X.

where X is an unknown time and date when they will discontinue this pet

guess i better call everyone to let them know

If my memory serves me correctly, Kayn, the Mountain Dew pet was only obtainable by account holders in the you.S. and Canada (excluding Quebec). I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that was part of the criteria.

Hell.
