First post obviously. I've been a dual boxer before, EQ, EQ2 among others but I never got around to doing it in WoW. A friend of mine turned me on to keyclone so I figured I would get started.
I had two personal accounts to use and instead of buying two new ones I used friends accounts who quit back in '04-'05, accounts I have been using off and on personally since then. I started I think on the 14th of January. This morning when I logged off I was about 20% away from 68, 4 Shamans horde Kil'Jaedin.
I get back later today to hear in IRC from the two guys I borrowed accounts from that they had received emails suggesting that those accounts were being shared. As a precaution the passwords had been reset and further action was threatened if the accounts continued to be shared. I'm pretty frustrated. Obviously not forking out for 2 new battle chests is biting me in the ass here but losing those two characters is a huge kick in the ass. I won't turn this into a vent about Blizzards greedy business practices regarding account sharing.
Word of advice, under no circumstances should you multi-box with someone else's account, even if you have been the unofficial owner of it for years. Being that you are high profile by what you are doing and plenty of drooling retards will report you for "OMG UR HAXING UR CHARZ ARE ALL TEH SAME". Now, the GM's may know immediately that you are multi-boxing but if they check the accounts they are going to see they belong to different people.
So now I am sitting here debating whether or not I want to level up 2 new shamans all over again.
