Enter Information such as Country and Name
When registering for a Battle.net account, first enter your country, name, and login email address. You need to enter your name twice, but the first time, it should be your real name as it is considered personal information used for customer support and other purposes, as recommended.
Confirm the Terms and Select "Continue"
After entering your login address, confirm the terms and select "Continue." Two checkboxes will appear, but you cannot proceed unless you check the checkbox at the bottom. Make sure to carefully review the terms before checking the box and proceeding.
Answer the quiz to confirm that you are not a bot
After reviewing the terms and setting a password and BattleTag corresponding to your username, let's answer the quiz to confirm that you are not a bot. There will be a total of 2 questions, but they are simple quizzes, so if you answer calmly, there should be no problem.
BattleTag can be changed for free only once
The BattleTag you set at the time of registration can be changed for free only once. For the second time and onwards, you will need to purchase the BattleTag change option for 1,130 yen.
How to Log in to your Battle.net Account
Perform Email Address Verification
After registering your account, it is recommended to perform email address verification first. Email address verification can be done by tapping or clicking the corresponding button in the received email.
Log in from the Login Page
After completing the email address verification, log in to Battle.net from the login page of your browser. You can log in even without email address verification, but you will be prompted to verify your email address. It is recommended to perform the verification beforehand.
