I’m wanting to give WoW a fresh start from 100% scratch for fun. I’m thinking of stopping my levels at 60,70, etc and doing that current expansions content before moving on.
I don’t care much about this current account besides things I have earned account wide many years ago and would like to maybe some day put some sort of use to them again.
Would I be able to merge them down the road when the time comes if I decide to do so?
What you can do is make up to 8 WoW accounts under the same battle.net account. Each account requires separate funding and upgrades to BfA, but they can otherwise share pets/mounts/wardrobe/etc.
If you were to make a new battle.net, it would not share anything with your current account.
To be clear, there’s no service offered by Blizz to merge two separate WoW accounts into a single account. Under certain circumstances, a WoW account can be moved from one battle.net account to another, but it leaves behind anything ‘battle.net-wide’.
Yikes… So if they moved a wow account license from one account to the other would it lose account wide achievements, pets, and mounts or you thinking other features like other game licenses, credits, etc?
EDIT: I found the answer on google and it was bad. People who did it lost pets,mounts, etc. Okay not worth doing it sadly…
Too bad you can’t ever get the new player experince anymore and even let blizzard make a buck…
They even on purposely don’t allow modifying main elements in achievements panel so no one can hide blue achievements as well as the main page that shows too much info.
If WoW1 is with Battlenet1 and WoW2 is with Battlenet2, the only thing they might do is move WoW2 to Battlenet1 or WoW1 to Battlenet2. The items earned under one battlenet do not move with the account. So if WoW2 had Invincible and you moved the account to Battlenet1, you would no longer have Invincible.
Maybe I’m missing something, but why can’t you do that with a new character? Why do you need a new account for that? Just opt out of using any mounts/heirlooms/etc. and you can do this with your own account.
Otherwise, yes, you can start over on a new battle.net, but that’s a fresh start and can’t be moved to another account as people would try to sell their accounts or otherwise abuse that a whole lot 
One the big reasons is I make videos on WoW and I noticed missing content you can’t ever do again. I wanted to for fun make this new long series and break each expansion into it’s own playlist and start fresh.
For example you can’t start over with battle pets, You can’t hide blue achievements via addons, you also can’t redo some quests they removed for alt characters because people did not want to do something twice so I can’t even share the fresh perspective of certain things.
I be happy if there we better API for achievements screen, but that alone will not fix things for me.
But not worth losing the work of the accounts and merging them in the long run either. So I guess I will just burn out and give up like most people do.
WoW Classic is waiting for you.
That is not a new player experience that is just a old broken game where you spam frost bolt…
J. Allen Brack was right and it will just be time when most the players figure this out.
You can do all that you are wanting to do by opening a new Battle .net account and playing on that. They only you can’t do is then move that account over to your other B .net account and take the account wide achievements with you. Which doesn’t seem to be something you would want to do anyway.
You can in a sense. Cage up any that are cagable. Release all the rest, except one-time only ones from launch events, and store pets. It will get you as close to the beginning as you can without starting a new battlenet account.
If you are looking to do stuff like this, post about it. There are others who are interested in it. You just have to look for them.
Or maybe make a second Battlenet account just for the videos. Don’t worry about moving it to your main Battlenet.
A little off topic here but there is no way Classic is still in the red. Even if they shut all Classic servers off this second all the development is paid back from people returning.
So he thought they didn’t, but they did.
Sorry had to address that part
Also just an educated guess on my part as of course there are no numbers. But I feel it is a safe educated guess.
And I am not a classic player either, just to eliminate that argument.
Just curious what leads you to believe that the surge of just one month of sub fees is enough to pay for all the development costs, equipment costs, bandwith costs, and I imagine a myriad of other costs that went into the creation of Classic. I know you conceded that you have no numbers, but there must be some basis for your educated guess. Not doubting you, just curious how you came to that conclusion.
I, too, am not playing Classic. I dabbled a little, but soon got bored.
We are getting really off topic here, and this will be the last I have to say on the matter, at least here. And like I said it is just my opinion.
2 weeks before Classic wen live you could reserve your name. Wave one of sub fees. Two weeks later, servers were still jammed to the point that eventually free server transfers were offered. Second wave of sub fees.
Mix that with our general extremely rough anecdotal knowledge of what a server can handle (Some of this is also drawning on Vanilla memory mind you) and I feel it is a safe educated guess they could have recouped their costs already.
I could be 100% completely wrong. It is just my opinion, based on my observations of course. But I feel confident in my opinion.
Anyway, back to the OP
As was suggested, if your plan is to make a YouTube series on your adventures, what better way to encompass the new player feeling that a brand new fresh account and start EVERYTHING from the ground up?
