Back in March, Blizzard launched a massively updated Battle.net which merged all of their games under one service. World of WarCraft players have received a grace period when it comes to merging their accounts, but that grace period is about to end.
According to the official site, all current World of WarCraft players will be required to merge their accounts with a Battle.net account by early November. The mandate comes as Blizzard prepares to launch another set of features for Battle.net, including cross-realm chat and the ability to communicate across different games, among other things.
Blizzard is even throwing in an incentive for players who have been reluctant to make the switch. World of WarCraft users who upgrade will get an in-game pet penguin for their troubles.
The actual process is pretty easy. Just go here to sign up, then select the option to merge in your World of WarCraft account. World of WarCraft will require a Battle.net username and password starting November 11, so you might as well get it over with now. After all, there's a penguin in it for you.
