Hello,

I have 4 WoW accounts.

1 Is on battlenet, im not even sure what it is, other then oneday I tried to login to account management and it would only let me do so by merging wit battlenet. So now 1 of my accounts logins using an email address which is very annoying.

Anyway my recent new account is NOT on battlenet (or is it and I am unaware?) as I login with username and Not an email address. Anyway my battlenet account that uses an email to login is the account I am trying to transfer a character off and onto my New account that as far as I am aware is Not on battlenet as it uses a username for login and not email.

When I go to account management like per usual to move a character to a different account and in the fields where it asks me to fillout the target account and I put in the login name of that account it keeps telling me it is linked to battlenet and to use my battlenet account name, so when I use my battle net email info it tells me I cannot : Target account must be different than the current account.


So how am I meant to transfer charcters between accounts ?Target account must be different than the current account

As Hathios has mentioned, it is not currently possible to process a character transfer between a World of Warcraft account that has been merged with a Battle.net account and one that has not yet been merged.

Please review the following support page for more information regarding Battle.net Character Transfer restrictions:

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.
