A bit of a worry

[Ozbert]

A couple of threads posted by a multiboxer in the EU General forum give cause for concern:

If these are taken at face value, then "Multiple accounting" has now been designated as against the rules. Nice of Blizzard to warn us in advance if this is true.

Of course, it could just be a trolling attempt, although the posters persistence in creating a second thread after his first was locked is unusual for a troll. Or it could be just a GM ignorant of policy.

I've emailed wowconcernseu@blizzard.com for clarification anyway, although it could take weeks to get a reply.

WTF?

[Perrigrin]

Did anyone notice a change with regards to this in the TOS? I know I didn't read it before clicking accept, hoping someone else did :P

I did a search and can't find anything about "Multiple Accounting" other than the post linked too.

I also pulled up the current ToS, and there is no match for "Multiple Accounting", "Multiple" or "Mult"..not that really means anything.

But, I'd be really curious to know:

1. What software they were using.
2. If the accounts were all in their name.
3. What were they doing with the items/gold they were farming...

WTF?! Indeed

So wait, blizard doesn't inform us about changes in TOS, they just wait untill ppl has get 2-5 or 10+ copies of LK and then they drop a bomb.. Great.

Whoaaaaaaa! Let's not jump to conclusions here.

We have seen "1" poster's comments about it, and we don't have all the details. And most likely, we won't ever have all the details.
Also, we don't know if the ToS even changed, since I'd venture to say no one keeps a copy of them all.

Just because it was posted on the WOW forums does not mean it's true. Being posted on a level 5 alt does not convince me much either.

Exactly! This could very well be someone trolling the WoW boards (I know, I know, that's unheard of!).
They may not even have more than 1 account and are just trying to stir up problems.

Yep, that's a definite possibility, which is why I've emailed wowconcernseu and posted on the Customer Support forum for clarification.

However, if Blizzard have changed policy without notification after I've spent over £100 upgrading all my accounts to Lich King, then I'll be demanding a refund for that.

My guess is accountsharing if it's true at all.
