Hello everyone, I'd like to discuss about the new B-net log in management page. While the changes of it for playing the game aren't immediate, the ones for the management pages are. I am opening this thread so we can discuss about the changes and share tips.
These changes bring a whole new dimension to all the blizzard account management services. This will directly affect the way we trade and sell right now, hence I'd like to give everyone a little reminder of caution when selling/buying/trading in the next few days, don't get scammed because of a new flaw in the system.
Here is most of the basic information I've figured out. In the near future, every Wow account ( and other blizzards games ) will be affiliated whit his own Battlenet account. The battlenet account will work like a bay to launch all your blizzard© games, kind of like how steam work if you'd like. All login will be done from that Battlenet account EX: If your login for wow was <Jonnyboy22> well from now on it will be <[email protected]> registered on the B-net account.
I believe this whole new goal of this system is to reduce the ammount of account sharing people do. This way blizzard can sell more copies of its games!
Here are some quote of the current blizzard TOU.

1. Account Eligibility. You may establish an Account only if you are a "natural person" and an adult in your country of residence. Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, partnerships and other legal or business entities may not establish an Account. Individuals prohibited by Blizzard from using the Service may not create or use an Account, and doing so and may result in severe civil and criminal penalties.

A Game license must be added to an Account before you can play that Game online, where applicable. You agree that you will supply accurate and complete information to Blizzard when requested, and that you will update that information promptly after it changes.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Zarhym</div><div class="ubbcode-body">We’re pleased to introduce the Battle.net account -- a brand-new way for players to manage their Blizzard Entertainment games, make online Blizzard store purchases, log in to World of Warcraft, and more using just one set of login information.
World of Warcraft players now have the option to create a Battle.net account, merge a World of Warcraft account (or multiple accounts) with it, and begin logging in to the game, the Armory, and the forums using their new Battle.net account login information.
Merge your World of Warcraft account now - http://us.battle.net/account/creation/landing.xml
Some of the benefits of the Battle.net account include:
* Fewer passwords to remember. One single login lets you access World of Warcraft, the online Blizzard store, and more -- including upcoming games such as StarCraft II and Diablo III.
* Opt in to upcoming Blizzard Entertainment beta tests. Put yourself in the running to be invited to test upcoming games.
* Easy access to your classic games. Store your CD keys for classic Blizzard Entertainment titles, and then download the games whenever you wish.
* And more to come… We’re planning to add more features in the future, including tools to help friends communicate between games and bring players closer together.
At this time, signing up is completely optional -- but if you’re interested in taking advantage of the benefits of the Battle.net account today, check out the FAQ for more information, or create an account now.
