Blizzard store purchases overseas

#0 - April 15, 2010, 5:27 p.m.

I apologize if this is the wrong forum, but this question didn't appear to fit into any other one better.

I am an American living in Korea with an active WoW account. I play regularly and all that -- this game is a wonderful way for me to stay in touch with RL friends from back home.

I'd like to purchase an authenticator (as well as other things from the store in the future, such as pets) but I remember reading somewhere that those can't be shipped overseas by Blizzard. Can I purchase one from the Korean store and attach it to my US account? If I buy pets or plushies from the Korean store, will they work on the US client?

Thanks!

Q u o t e:
Can I purchase one from the Korean store and attach it to my US account?

Since Battle.net Authenticators aren't region-locked, you are more than welcome to purchase an Authenticator from the Korean Blizzard store and attach it to your North American account. :)

Q u o t e:
If I buy pets or plushies from the Korean store, will they work on the US client?

Unlike Authenticators, pets are locked by region. This is a quick excerpt from our Pet Store FAQ:

Q u o t e:
How do I redeem a Pet Store pet or mount once it's been purchased from the Blizzard Store?

After you purchase the pet or mount, you'll receive a code that can then be redeemed on any individual World of Warcraft account via Battle.net Account Management. Simply selct "Item Code Redemption" or visit this link. You don't need to redeem the code on the same Battle.net account that made the initial purchase – feel free to send the code to a friend as a gift.

Please note the that codes are specific to each region so they must be used in the region where purchased.
