Merging 2 battle.net accounts together?

This morning I had to merge my wow account into a new battle.net account after recovering from an account hijack. In my haste to get the recovery completed I made a new battle.net account not realizing that I had already created one and added all my other blizzard games to it, Diablo 2, WC3, and SC. So now I have 2 battle.net accounts, and I'm wondering if there is any way I can merge the 2 together?

Thanks

Currently there is no system to merge different Battle.net accounts together. If your new Battle.net account is only currently home to your World of Warcraft account our Billing & Account Services department phone representatives may be able to help.

You will need to speak with them directly, however, if you explain the situation and verify both Battle.net accounts it may be possible to get your World of Warcraft account removed from the new Battle.net account and put on to your existing Battle.net account that has all your other game licenses.

Phone contact may be the quickest resolution.

We would be unable to assist with moving a plethora of legacy titles off of one Battle.net account onto another at this time but it is possible to update your e-mail address on the Battle.net to a new e-mail address as well if you no longer use the one it is associated with now.

Once you have logged into your Battle.net account you will see the option to change your e-mail address in the top left, just above your list of games.

There is no deleting Battle.net accounts at this time, Secundum.

Using deductive reason however, everything has become clear; quite elementary really.

The Battle.net account which is using the e-mail you want just needs to be changed over to a 3rd, transitionary e-mail. This will then free up the e-mail address you would like to use for change on your Battle.net account with all your legacy titles :-D

If you are a bit unsure about how to go about it our phone Billing representatives would be more than happy to help walk you through it. It is an odd solution but it will help get you what you want and then we can both be happy!

*party hats for everyone*

Q u o t e:
Well

I merged my accounts to 2 different battle.net accounts and now I'm stuck with them. I wish blizzard would fix that cause it sucks always having to login 2 different passwords and emails. Why use these things anyways cause its a hassle.


First, we'd prefer you make a new post instead of dragging one a few months old out of mothballs, Nite :)

The information above is still valid though, calling Billing about this is still your best course of action to see if you can get something consolidated. A single Battle.net account can contain up to eight WoW accounts.
