Paid Character Transfer Restrictions for Battle.net Accounts
The following restrictions regarding the Paid Character Transfer service are in place for World of Warcraft accounts that have been merged into Battle.net accounts.
General Restrictions
Once merged, a World of Warcraft account can only transfer to or from other merged World of Warcraft accounts. In addition, the accounts must be registered under the same last name. Thus, in this example:
• World of Warcraft Account A is merged into Battle.net Account 1
• World of Warcraft Account B is merged into Battle.net Account 2
• World of Warcraft Account C is not merged into a Battle.net account
• World of Warcraft Account A can transfer to or from World of Warcraft Account B since it is merged with a Battle.net account, provided they are registered under the same last name.
• However, Account A cannot transfer to or from World of Warcraft Account C, unless it also merges with a Battle.net account and shares the same last name.
• World of Warcraft Account C can only transfer to or from other non-merged World of Warcraft accounts with which it shares the same last name.
30 Day Restriction on Transfers Between Battle.net Accounts
An additional temporary restriction becomes effective immediately upon a World of Warcraft account merge. For 30 days, the account can only transfer characters to other accounts within the same Battle.net account – it cannot transfer characters off of the Battle.net account. Thus, in this example:
• World of Warcraft Account A and World of Warcraft Account B have both been merged with Battle.net Account 1 for less than 30 days
• World of Warcraft Account C has been merged with Battle.net Account 2 for more than 30 days
• World of Warcraft Account D is not merged into a Battle.net account
• World of Warcraft Account A can transfer to World of Warcraft Account B since they share the same Battle.net account.
• Account A cannot transfer to Account C, since Account C is part of a different Battle.net account and it has been less than 30 days since Account A was merged.
• However, Account C can transfer to Account A since the 30 day restriction applies to transfers from Account A, not to Account A.
• After 30 days, the restriction is lifted and Account A can transfer to or from Account C.
• Finally, Account D cannot participate in any transfers with the other three accounts, since it is not merged. It can only transfer to or from other non-merged World of Warcraft accounts.
