Can Characters Be brought from LAN to Online?

[SwampRaider]

Hello!


I have been playing LAN by myself for a few days, with Save-load codes working.

As soon as i changed my LAN name, the code didnt work.


So, is it possible to port a hero from LAN to online? should my LAN name be the same as my B.net name?

Hey right back at you!

There is no issue with going from LAN to online that I know of.. so long as you are NOT playing single player (AKA - Able to use cheat codes). The issue that you're having is exactly as you said; your LAN name MUST BE the same as you BNet name. Codes are username specific, so if you change your name, the codes become void.
This also applies from BNet server to BNet server (IE - Europe to US East), so if someone has your name already registered.. out of luck!

You can do the following,

a) save the game while playing it on LAN. b) Change your LAN name to be exactly the same as your battle.net name. c) Load the saved game. d) Now -save your character. You should be able to use the code on bnet.

Read what reconcile said. "username specific". Step C cannot be done
