Question about Character Transfer

[Shock18]

If i buy an account and transfer a character to a new account (with same last name) do i get to make a new SQA for that new account?

Depending if you create the new account on the same battle-net account, or if you create a new battle-net account.

If you create the new wow-account on the exisiting battle-net account, you wont get to make a new SQA.
If you create a new battle-net account, then you will be able to do it.

No it will be a new battle-net account to.

That's really the safest way to keep a purchased toon, but don't forget it's not 100% safe. The original account owner can always call Blizz and claim their account was hacked and that they didn't authorize a transfer. The scammers on MarkeeDragon use to do it all the time back in the day. Prolly still doing it actually, but I seldom visit that cesspool of a site.

I actually just got back one of my old accounts, and I used the account recovery.. and then I did an unauthorized account transfer form and they're telling me theres no signs of abuse and wont reverse the character transfers/faction changes on the main toons on the account.. so no they wont always undo transfers.. i would assume that would apply the same way to cross account xfer.

Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you want to look at it, if the original owner claims the account was hacked they can get the characters back.

It's not always as easy as a phone call and a form. If they investigate your claim and see that both accounts have never been accessed from more than one IP address or from any IP addresses well outside a given area they are gonna know you're lying. If the IP logs show that the new account was accessed on the other side of the country or continent they tend to believe you a little more. They try to work with their customers, but they are not new to the ways of scammers.

Well the person who was using it before, was in Canada, where as I'm in Florida, but I guess given the time span of two months they might be using that as justification to not reverse the transfers. I figured a phone call would be easier but I've stuck to emails for now, but I guess I'll just pay the fees and get the chars moved around, I mean they do have some new items, not much progression since I lost "access"

I figured if they did the account recovery in the first place, then it would be easy to point out it wasn't me who did the transfers, I'm sure they can even look up the names on the credit cards.. everything is in my name when I did it, obviously last two months it was in a chick's name... dont ask me why they refuse
