Battle.net Revamped by Blizzard Entertainment

Today, Blizzard has unsheathed their cutting edge new edition of Battle.net/ If you've been around for a while and experienced Battle.net, you'll rejoice at this improvement.

One of the key changes the Blizzard has implemented allows you to connect all of your accounts to a single username and password. So, if you play Diablo, Warcraft and WoW at the same time, you'll now be able to rid yourself of the tedium of remember all those passwords. Blizzard has heightened their edge over the competition by allowing users to conveniently play all of their games.

With World of Warcraft being the most popular Blizzard game to date, it's important to focus on any changes that will be made to your fantasy world lifestyle. So how does it affect us?

As it stands right now, you are able to make a Battle.Net account and merge it with your World of Warcraft account, but it's not required. In the near future, in order to provide ease of use and convenience to it's audience, Blizzard is making it a requirement to have your two accounts linked. In regard to upcoming games on deck for release, Blizzard had this to say:

"all future Blizzard Entertainment games such as StarCraft II and Diablo III will require Battle.net Accounts".

Are you a fan that still can't pull yourself away from the Old-School look? Have no fear, Battle.Net Classic is here. If you're still playing some of Blizzards classic games, you'll still be able to use your old login, keep your stats, friends, and personalizations by using Battle.Net Classic.

Some of the more popular questions posed by players at this time include:
