Computer qeek question

[silverthorne]

I converted my WoW account to the stupid battlenet thing, and now I can't connect.

I alredy did the first three things on the suggestion list at WoW/battlenet help. IE; Checked my proxy choices, made sure the wtf folder had the right info, checked my ports.

What's next? is there a wait period?

Please don't get mad at me for asking this, but are you connecting with your email address instead of your old username? Your email address on your BattleNet account is now your username if you did the merge.

Nah, I wouldn't get mad. I am using the full email address though. I also signed out of and back into my battlenet account to make sure all the info was right.

It was suggested I restart my computer, and this is the first time since I posted that that's happened, so I'll give it another shot.

*hugs*

Is it doing the thing where it just gets stuck on Authentication? Because mines been doing that.

I can't find a permanent fix for it, so I just close WoW, then try again in about 15 minutes. I just keep doing this until it works.

Unfortunately, no...that's the problem that most everyone without battlenet is having right now (and some folks *with* it are also having) and it is a known issue.

This is basically the game telling me I'm not using the right password and/or ID even though it's the same one now that you use to log into battlenet. Did some asking on wow ladies, changed an access permission on my antivirus, and now it's been narrowed down to possibly me somehow managing to create a 'UK' battlenet account (because now it'll accept the password and stuff but instead tells me that the login server is 'busy').

Anyhow, I contacted Blizz last night via email, and they responded and asked me to call in today, so there's some progress. At least they know I'm needing some help.

Annnd miracle of miracles, I could get in this morning (I also got a reply email that said I needed to call in because of security reasons...I wrote the etch back to thank him and tell him the game was letting me in...at least for now. XD).

Thank you. :3

It did finally and apparently fix itself, do I have no idea what the problem was.
