I currently have an account that i got from my friend that i have owned for 4 years.
would it be legal to set up the second account in his name?
or should i just make it in my name?

and would it be better to set it up in his name so that i can transfer the leveled toons to my main account?

P.S. my friend quit playing wow and gave me his account.
Hmmm...where's Vyndree when you need her?

If this was your friend's account you have not owned it for 4 years. You have used his account for 4 years. He owned it and still does as long as his name is associated with his account. To not break TOS, you should get two accounts and put them in your name.

Edit: Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think we "own" our accounts in the legal sense.
