Battlenet Account Gone

A couple of days ago I was able to create a Battle.net account and put my 4 World of Warcraft accounts under with no problems. Been using it since.

Today when I try to log in I get an error that the information I am providing is not valid.

When I go to Battle.net to retrieve my passowrd it is telling me my email address is not in the system.

I dont believe the account got hacked or I would have been at least notified if anyone changed anything via an email, at least i think I would have gotten a notification tha tha email changed.

What is going on?

Is Spoonchick a character on one of the World of Warcraft accounts that was merged?

Q u o t e:
Yes it is.


You are trying to recover your password on the login support site linked below, correct?

Are you certain that everything is spelled correctly, Spoonchick?

Is it possible that you may have mistyped the e-mail address or name either when entering this information on the retrieval form, or when you created the account?

Scroll all the way to the top of this forum page, and look for your avatar in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Click the "Options" button and enter your registered e-mail address into the appropriate field so that I may verify that everything is correct and current.

Please tell me once you have done so.
