You already got what you wanted out of the purchase which was the ability to play WoL cross region for as long as you had those accounts and thats what you paid the money to do. Asking for the money back after getting what you wanted out of it seems the epitome of the saying "having ones cake and eating it".


Also this.

I have written a ticket about this issus they told me im screwed and my 100 Euros are gone (i had 3 copys)
But i wanna propose another Solution:
Please Blizzard implement this for Global Play:

Multiple Copys of StarCraft II on one Battle.Net Account!
I think this would be the best solution for Blizzard and for us customers




That one seems reasonable for sure and probably going to be how they eventually implement it.

People should be lobbying for this change and not refunds.

This This and This.

Unfortunately when you bought your copy you should of thought about this beforehand. If you regret it so much then tough...sorry to be so blunt but thats the way it is. New stuff was always going to be on the horizon after hots was announced.

Expecting refunds or free HotS is unreasonable. We deserve two (or as many purchases you have under one account) "characters" per server, or chance to switch the 2nd account to another account. It's just plain idiotic you're being screwed over putting all your blizz games under same account - when I put my NA under same account as EU, I thought if anything would happen, I'd gain benefits from this, never harm. I'd think blizzard favors people having all their games under one account, these actions are completely against this.

The issue isn't additional copies. The issue is additional copies linked to the same email address.

For example: At release someone buys NA account then later buys an EU account with the same email address, but with the release of global play, instead of having two seperate licenses they have been merged as one. Instead of owning two accounts that have access to global play, we only have one account like everyone else who bought one game. It's not really a BIG deal, but it is money wasted if they don't allow us a way to convert the additional account into an actual extra account somehow.

It's not money wasted. You got what you payed for.


I still think you don't understand the issue. If you had 2 sc2 account under 2 different battle.net id. You get 2 global play accounts currently. Unfortunately people like me had 2 accounts in 1 battle.net id... you end up only having 1 global play account.

Well, the OP sure did not explain what you guys have explained. About that, Blizzard should allow a bnet ID with N copies of the same game to be able to create N different IDs each with one copy of the game.

I don't think anything will happen because of TL topic, especially when OP is misleading people to not understand the issue. It's completely matter of principle: I'm not certain I'm ever going to buy 2 hots. But I have to have the option to have 2 hots, by having 2 WoL. Now I'd have to buy 3rd WoL in order to access 2nd HotS. Anyone should see that's beyond idiotic.

Question but why would you want a second HoTS? Wasn't the whole multiple account stuff for different regions and now you can do it with 1 accounts its fine?

Concerning HotS and Global play from Global Play Faq

If you have more than one regional copy of Wings of Liberty and want to upgrade to Heart of the Swarm, you only need to upgrade one of them. The Heart of the Swarm upgrade applies to all regional versions of Wings of Liberty on your Battle.net account.


So u basically have to buy only one HotS for ur two, three WoL licences

And Blizzard will implement something, how we can use multiple licences on one account. People should take in account that Global Play is not officially released by Blizzard yet and even warns to use it.

Ah, but you got something - you got another region play - at a time when others who only bought one copy couldn't get it. At that time that luxury was expensive. Now it's cheaper.


This is well summed up. Those that bought multiple accounts paid for the luxury of being able to play on multiple accounts/regions, now that luxury is included. Things like this all the time and very rarely are refunds given. And in the case that they are usually its within a time frame such as the change happening within 90 days.

And this should cheer people up. Although it seems the moral of the story was to have used multiple accounts instead of having several copies on one account.

If people bought multiple copies they were able to play WoL on different servers, so you had the benefit you paid for.
This has nothing to do with HotS, be happy you dont have to buy multiple copies of HotS as welll ... some people are always complaining ...

Doubt they would be so nice and split up the WoL copies. As I doubt everyone would be so nice and keep them. Probably alot would end up being sold, so they lose money for no reason. Maybe 5 or 6 month after HotS is out, to get a few additional HotS sales maybe.

Other then that why should they honor impatience by giving a refund of some sort, just because someone couldn't wait.

Beyond me how people fail to understand the issue. Why are you getting disadvantage for having two accounts under same account compared to having them under separate e-mails? We don't ask for friggin refunds, we're being stolen one purchase. If the two purchases were done under different emails, there is no issue.

Some think that when hots comes, they'll have these "characters" per server for ones with multiple sc2s under same account. But until I see blizzard confirming this, it seems just as sketchy politician talk what they've been saying, that essentially means nothing.

You can have multiple play-accounts on each region, if you bought more than 1 copy of WoL.
I cannot think of any reason why this request should receive any attention whatsoever. I mean shouldn't we then also get HotS for a reduced price? I mean bought Starcraft 2 at the release, but now the prices have lowered dramatically.

Screw customers? This has nothing to do with it.


Edit: Why the hell would you buy multiple copies and then have them run on der the same bnet account -.-

This thread is as stupid as ladder anxiety. If blizzard is as bad as you are making them out to be with this dastardly business plan, then you really should have read the signs earlier. If not, then it was just a development that they decided to do down the track. Either way they don't owe you money lol.

It's really scary for me to see how accepting people have become of abusive (and in some countries downright illegal) terms of services. "It's in the TOS, so you don't get to complain!" is such an unbelievably stupid thing to say. You guys do know that it's also in the TOS that Blizzard can ban you at any time for any reason, right? They could send you a picture of a giant middle finger, say "Fuck you lol!" and close down all your accounts. And you said you're perfectly fine with that when you agreed to the TOS.

Sure, this isn't as bad. But in the end it's Blizzard selling people a 12 month (or less) license of their game for the full prize before revoking it, just like that, without even telling the customer. And you guys say that people shouldn't complain about that? WTF is wrong with you?

To be fair, noone forced you to buy more copies, so I dont think Blizz needs to give you free stuff.

Who says the licence gets revoked? Blizzard has't released Global play yet, users just found a way to unlock the region button, but people already complain that they get screwed over, though they don't know anything.
And the advantage of all licences on one account is u need only one HotS copy to upgrade all licences as statewd in Blizzards FAQ.

Assuming global play will be introduced officially (and I doubt anyone is disputing this), then yes, those extra licenses will become void. Useless. Revoked. Call it what you will.

And how is that an "advantage"? Whether you have 1 license or 4, you need to buy HotS just once to have it work everywhere. That's an improvement over having to buy 3 more HotS licenses (boy wouldn't that be fun?), but it's in no way, shape or form an "advantage" over having just 1 license. It's still 3 licenses thrown down the drain.
