Forum Account needs to be converted to a Battle.net account

[guardian7151]

Having an issue with the login screen. The login prompts me to convert my account to battle.net. This is new, as I was on an hour ago. I made sure it wasn't me changing anything, so I downloaded 5.4.8 minimal and started that up. Same issue. Config is fine with the realmlist. The files are not marked as read only. Any help?

In your installation folder, go to the WTF map, where you will find the 'Config.wtf' file.

Open it with Notepad or any other text editor.

Make sure the >> TOP << 2 lines are:

set realmlist logon.warmane.com
set patchlist logon.warmane.com

Remove any other mentions of realm / patchlist down the list.

This will let you login normally. But you will still (very) sometimes get a disconnect when playing. This is usually caused by having Battle.net running, from any other Blizzard game (like Hearthstone) or Retail WoW. I do not recommend messing around with that. The disconnect is very seldom.
