What to do after...

[silverjax]

Hello MMOwned users!

I got a quick question, i want to buy a wow account online but what do i need to do next after i paid and got the account details to secure that the user cant scam me? (Change password, email adress maybe etc?)

Thanks in advance!

If its not already merged with a Battlenet account, then merge it. Use YOUR name and information on the Battlenet account.

If it is a Battlenet account, then get an authenticator. You can buy a physical one or download the mobile authenticator software to an itouch or iphone. Still change the email/password to something that the other person won't know. Don't use the same email that you used to contact the person with. Setup something completely different. It takes less than 2 minutes to recall an account if they know what email is on the account.

In the end, the best security is to transfer it to a totally new account in which you are the only one that knows the information. Just make sure the last names match.

Thanks for you reply, if i want to merge it or change the email adress on the Battlenet account does the current email-(user) gets an email and needs to confirm it first?
Im talking to a guy now, he has an account merged with Battlenet

This is how I secure a account.
Buy a new wotlk,bc and orignal CD then tranfer the chars from the account that you bought to the freshly made account. Make sure the new account has same info as the bought account(first,last name) then merge the new account to a new battle.net with YOUR info. Also ban the bought account.

I agree with C.C.

When I buy accounts, if they are already BNET merged, then I will transfer them to a fresh account and merge that one with a BNET that has my name attached. Don't wait to do this either. If he is going to scam you (which he might), then you want to get safe fast.

I havent got a Battlenet account yet but ill make one after this post.

If i merge the second account (from the seller) with my current Battlenet account and login using the BNET-account i get instead of 3 characters > 4 characters showing up?

Sorry for this silly question

Thanks in advance!

Why do you have to ban the bought account?

Ok so i need to use Paid Character Transfer option?
If so, the seller doesnt know the secret question -answer, what to do now? Oh another question, can i use paypal or anything else except creditcard to transfer the character?

• Yes, you need to use Paid Character Transfer
• The seller doesn't knowthe SQ/A? GL then, your chances of keeping the account are VERY slim if he decides he wants it back.
• All of the available payment options are on the WoW website.
