Game Versions

1.36.1 (1.36.1.20613, 1.36.1.20652, 1.36.1.20674)

Summary

If your battle.net account is linked to a Warcraft 3 Classic account, which was available for a short period after reforged launch, a lot of functionality is broken/different from normal accounts.

Description

Namely:

• Can't return to custom game lobby chat after existing it via TAB or by whispering someone
• Can't be invited by other players, the invite dialog does not appear
• Being banned from a game lobby bans the account permanently from all future lobbies of that host, instead of just the single lobby

Additional Information

No response

Expected

Linked classic accounts should behave the same as accounts that were not linked.

Actual

There are differences between linked and unlinked accounts.

• I think the invite finally works on 1.36.2.
• I vaguely remember the chat/TAB thing as happening to me a long time ago
• I think this is true and lobby bans are permanent. I can't confirm completely because the error message is something different and I think the lobby may vanish from your list if you attempt to join it.
