My issue with Real-ID

My situation is as follows - My nephew, whom I'm a legal guardian of currently and I share the same battle.net account log in so I can better track his time played, friends, and such. However, due to this, I have to choose whether or not *I* would like to use real-ID based on how much I don't want HIM using it. I've logged into his account to see if my real-ID friends were listed in his list and they were.

My question is this, is there any way to separate the two accounts or turn off real-ID on his account alone so I may still use it? As i understand it now, it is a all or nothing deal per battle.net account. If this is not the case then can someone direct me to the option that I can correct this with?

The ability to separate Parental Controls settings between accounts merged to the same Battle.net account isn't available at this time, but if you and your nephew are currently sharing a Battle.net account and would like to explore the possibility of splitting that account, then I would recommend contacting Account Services. Our representatives may indeed be in position to assist. :)

Also, one trick of the trade for calling in is to spam redial. It sounds silly, but it's actually quite a successful technique.

You may receive a busy message when trying to call in. The reason you'd receive that message is when our phone lines are completely full. This means that all representatives are on the line with other customers and all "on hold" spots are occupied. The good news is that those "on hold" spots free up all the time. So, if you're willing to redial a few times, you're very likely to get through. :)

Syndri, doesn't Billing open at 7am now? Or was that just a temporary thing and they have gone back to opening at 8am?

And aren't they open 7 days a week too? :)


Aye, indeed they are. Today I somehow keep managing to use the wrong Clipping. >.<


Edit: Fixed!
