You must use Battle.net accounts now

When you installed Wotlk on your computers the new TOS said you WILL need to update to a bnet accont they sould be a way to add this into pwnboxer though as it adds this line into the config file

SET accountList "Username|!oldusersname|oldusersname|oldusersname| oldusersname|"


The one with the ! is the one it uses frist

I use B.net account for my 5. Works just fine. Entering user name was not a problem at all either.

If you are using the same B-net for all 5 accounts... how do you distinguish which account you are signing into when you sign in?

I am new to WoW on the PC (only reason I am playing on my PC is because of the MB software). I just click the launcher again and open another window and log in with a different name. Do those of you with 5 B-net accounts have 5 different WoW folders, or how do you keep them seperate?

Please note, I don't have Pwnboxer yet, as it doesn't work with Bootcamp (yet) :fingerscrossed:

thats how(note the second box below b.net login, it is a list of all wow accounts on the merged with the b.net account)

personally i keep them separate because i use different addons for different accounts.

You can use the same email address for all your accounts. However, if you are the only one playing all accounts, there is no reason to NOT merge them all to one account.

Tim - using BNet accounts is the only way to use the authenticator. I upgraded (!!!! $1!!!)

So a few people I know recently merged their Battle.Net and WoW accounts, two got hacked over the weekend. Did you know you can change your password from the battle.net site?

yep, that's why you use an authenticator. though it means that logging in to 5 accounts in wow can take at least 2.5 minutes (minor setback ).

while you can login to wow's forums and armory without an authenticator, battle.net/wow account management does require the the authenticator.
