I'm trying to transfer a Paladin from one WoW account of mine to this one. The account with the Paladin is not tied to Battle.net, but this account is. When I input a target account for the Paladin, I put my email address for my battle.net account. The game tells me I need to put in a WoW account has been merged into a battle.net account.

So I put in the name of the WoW account that is tied to my battle.net account, and it tells me to put in my battle.net account.

Any idea how to get around this?

It appears that you have already received your answer, Abydes, but I would like to add some extra clarification on the matter. The following section quoted from our support site provides a fairly clear example of the matter.

Q u o t e:
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.


Additionally, please note that after you have merged a World of Warcraft account with a Battle.net account you will not be able to perform a Paid Character Transfer between World of Warcraft accounts that are merged to a separate Battle.net account for the first 30 days. As such, you may want to merge both World of Warcraft accounts to the same Battle.net account as this would allow you to bypass the 30 day restriction.
