Q u o t e:
If I merge two World of Warcraft accounts to one Battle.net account, can they be played at the same time?
Absolutely! Once you log into the game client using your Battle.net credentials, you will be asked to choose the WoW account you wish to access from a list of your merged accounts. After you make your selection, the realm selection screen will appear so you can complete your login as normal. If you want to log into two accounts at once, just open up two different client windows.
You can also simplify this process by checking the "Remember Account Name" box. If you check this box, the next time you open up the game client after successfully logging in, a drop-down menu will appear right below the account name field. This menu will contain all accounts merged to your Battle.net account and allow you to select your WoW account before you even login.
Think of a Battle.net account like a keyring and your merged WoW accounts like keys around it. Each key is still unique and treated individually; however, by placing all your keys on the ring, they're easier to access and manage. :)
