Sally and Bill start with the same number of apples. Sally invests her 2 apples into Company A, while Bill invests his apples into Company B.

So because Blizzard implemented a feature that people wanted, you should get something more? You bought the benefit of multiple accounts earlier than everyone else. That's what you purchased with money. It just seems awfully entitled to now request compensation. You can't ask for stuff if you've paid full price for something that goes on sale later, even if the price was supposed to be lower in the first place. You bought it and enjoyed the benefits since you thought it would be useful for you.
The question of whether global play is a luxury or not is meaningless. You bought multiple copies. The developer can just as well maintain segregated play and you can do is voice your opinion by not giving them your money. People rightfully complain about lack of global play, but it turns out it's not such a big deal. Those highly interested people are willing to pay more for that feature. Now that feature is provided for everyone included in the price. In the eyes of the developer this is extra effort on their part (for no monetary gain) and now they have to also compensate the hardcore people? Why should they even implement this, considering people didn't think it was that big of a deal in the first place? Blizzard are removing something. I already paid for more, they are taking away what I paid for. I paid for 2 SC2 accounts, they are taking one away, and upgrading the other. Now I would have one SC2 account and not the 2 I paid for. So yes, I should get something to replace the SC2 account they are taking away. You paid for 2 accounts. Now you have 4 accounts. What's the problem again? Before you could play on 2 regions, and now you can play on all of them except china. lol. And you want something more. You paid for the ability to play on NA and EU or something. You still have the ability to play on NA and EU. Only now you can play on NA, EU, KR, SEA. You're right, blizzard should give you even more.
Ughhhhhh that is NOT the argument. Who freaking cares the reason for why I bought two licenses on the same account. The fact is, they are telling me that I CANT PLAY ON ONE OF THE LICENSES THAT I ALREADY PAID FOR! That's the argument.

What is bait and switch, however, and should definitely be fixed - is that you buy 2 copies of WoL and now they are merged into one, because they are both on the same real ID, so you can't have 2 different playing IDs anymore. Obviously, for every copy of the game you paid, you deserve a separate playing ID, so they need to fix this asap.
How should they fix something, what is not even released yet? People are ranting on something which isn't obviously released and one support request as evidence that it will be like the OP siad. Blizzard is aware of the issue and i am pretty sure they will have a solution when they release Global Play And yes i have also 3 licences on one Battle.Net ID Do you have any reason to believe that Blizzard was aware of the issue (and solving it) before it was posted on their forums, or you just assume?

Also now you have multiple copies so does that mean that you can have one "profile," be each race? 'Cuz that can be kinda fun and useful.

If this is the case, perhaps they could give an 1 time access code which allows people to move the SC2 account to a new B.net account. You will have multiple b.net accounts but retain the unique game. But at the same time we knew this was coming but people paid extra anyway to play in different regions up to 2.5 years before the guy with one license.

That would be like giving everyone free upgrades to all previous purchases when a new model came out.
"You had to buy an additional lens with the camera you bought from us last year. Our new model comes with a newer lens...so you should get it for free since when you bought your old one years ago, it didnt, and thats not fair imo"
Its more like if you bought the same model car 4 times for four different places ( One KR, NA,EU, SEA) and you remain with 4 cars, however someone that bought the same model car 4 times under 4 separate names now having 16 cars.

... You still don't get it?

On another note, does HotS license apply to only one region?
|
I wouldn't mind if the Wol accounts end up being useless since blizz is dividing the ladders like they did with WC3.
But does anyone know what happens in HOTS for people with multiple Wol regions?
The faq says that we only have to buy hots once and the upgrade applies to all regions on the account but for people with multiple regions, does that mean they'll get multiple hots profiles? ie. 4 wol regions --> 4 hots accounts?
|
The reality is that you're probably getting nothing, this is Activision Blizzard we are talking about. You basically got screwed like me and there is no way they will compensate. They are a company, their goal is to sell copies.
|
I own 3 accounts in total. I used them all well. And now with HotS coming I still have the extra accounts to hide on where people can't find me. And if I want to I don't have to buy any additional copies of HotS :D.
We are not owed anything for having extra accounts. And this topic I feel is a little self entitled. Kind of reminds me of my experiences with the LoL community.

They generally have pretty good PR, wouldn't be surprised if they at least separated the accounts.
Also, has a wind of stupidity hit the world over last night, or was the amount of people who can't read 10 lines of text always so high?

No, I am being rewarded for being patient and waiting until they added global play. Now I only need one copy of WoL.

You can't use Global Play if you have a TW account. I hope they fix this soon

I see to fair options:
- Free HotS (+some special portrait? HotS is cheaper than WoL).
- Move one WoL licence to another account.

This feels just like Blizzards way of saying:
![[image loading]](http://images.wikia.com/simpsons/images/e/e9/Nelson_Ha-Ha.jpg)
Global play should have been available right with the launch of WoL. Guess they needed some featured for HotS ...
