Whilst my experience of Blizzard customer experience over the past 5+ years have always been good, I am disappointed that this feature is not available. Some of it though is related to data protection acts in the various regions. You would think that with customer consent that it can be dealt with but unfortunately the laws around data protection is a little more complicated than that. So it is not 100% a technical issue. On the same note I have the issue with the upcoming Cataclysm key. My Oceanic accounts are cancelled and I only play on the EU server (with RL friends) even though I live in Australia. The version of Cata that I can buy over here is only the NA version and thus the registration key won't work. The client is no issue as you can use the same client to connect to both regions. The problem I have is that I have to buy the NA version here, have someone buy me a copy in the EU and mail me the registration key, thus paying twice for the same product!!!
