Account recalling questions

[Tritonal]

I traded my WoW account a few months ago and today it got banned. I want to recall my old account (douche move I know) but I wanted to ask a few questions first. Here's some info on both accounts.

- We both know the original WoW account name, security answer, and the first and last names on both accounts.
- My real info (address and stuff) isn't on the account I traded. It's actually a friends.
- They're both battlenet accounts obviously

Last time I recalled an account it was before this battlenet stuff. I'm a little rusty so here's my questions.

1.) If I call Blizzard will they ask me for the battlenet account name or the original WoW account name?

2.) Will adding an authenticator to the account stop him from gaining access to it? I'm pretty sure I heard that you have to send in proof confirming you're the owner of the account to remove an authenticator. Which neither of us have proof we're the real owner (ID and paper wise).

3.) If he has an authenticator on the account will they ask me for it when I call?

4.) When I call should I just say I forgot my email password and account password? They won't ask for the email on the account, will they? I also don't want to say I got hacked because I don't want to take the risk of them locking the account.


Many thanks to whoever answers these.

that would be effectively stealing which (I would assume) is heavily frowned upon on this site. AKA, you are boned and if you want to start playing WOW again, talk to the guy and see if you can buy back the account, buy another account, or start a new account.

You can provide either.

2.) Will adding an authenticator to the account stop him from gaining access to it? I'm pretty sure I heard that you have to send in proof confirming you're the owner of the account to remove an authenticator. Which neither of us have proof we're the real owner (ID and paper wise).

No, he can call and get it taken off. Which I would since I did nothing wrong and the guy I traded to wanted to be a dick.

3.) If he has an authenticator on the account will they ask me for it when I call?

No, they will take it off.

4.) When I call should I just say I forgot my email password and account password? They won't ask for the email on the account, will they? I also don't want to say I got hacked because I don't want to take the risk of them locking the account.

They will lock if eventually, and you will have to provide ID. ESPECIALLY if they get a couple calls in a small time frame.

IMO, just be a good trader and let him have what he should, go buy a cheap 70 and lvl it to 80. Gearing up is a joke now. Don't ruin this guys day because YOU got yourself banned. No one likes a douchebag.

did this with my account, never found out nothing...

As long as you're the OO you can just get it locked for a short while and then send in ID and viola it's yours again. That's what I plan to do in the future unless my guild starts progressing...
