Cross Faction not possible between accounts on the same Battle.net?

Community General Discussion
1

So… am I missing something here? I have multiple accounts under my Battle.net. One of these accounts is my kids account. We were looking forward to trying out the whole Cross Faction play but can’t seem to invite each other because the ways suggested keep saying you can’t add yourself to your friends list…

This is a bug.

kinda of offtopic sorry, but how do you manage to run both games at once if it’s the same bnet? i keep getting logged out of the first PC whenever i login to my bnet on the other pc.

i can launch both on the SAME pc but then how do you both use the same…keyboard and mouse? O_o

what am i missing.

but anyway. has OP’s original problem been solved? i kinda need his problem solved as well.

Log in to one WoW account and then shut down Bnet in the first comp, then log in on the second. You don’t need Bnet running for WoW to run.

You don’t even need bnet running to login, It will ask for username/password/authenticator(Ifapplicable) when you go to open it manually

Listing group does not work… Only same faction chars can see it…

I still can not join cross faction groups with my family…

the group needs to be created in one of the categories that support cross faction: Dungeons/Raids/Torghast/Arena/Rated BG. Skirmishes/Random BGs/Questing/Custom won’t work.

I have two WoW accounts (one Battle.net account) and I ran into this problem, and here is how I fixed it.

What you need to do is simply make a community (mine is named “Alts of Pet” for example, and no one else can see it or join) and then invite your alts (or characters on your Battle.net account) to it or generate a code that can be used to join the community. Once your characters on the same Battle.net account are in the community, you’ll be able to send a group invitation to a character on one WoW account from the other, even if they’re not the same faction.

This. Communities (and later guilds when that functionality gets added) is the appropriate workaround for x-faction grouping on the same bnet.
