I agree. I should not have posted. Rather than draw out the "grey line" type arguments, it is always better to simply steer folks away from it. That way we do not contribute to someones decision that they may regret later, but does not affect us.

A valid point as well. I deal with both of these issues on a daily basis (accounts and fires), in a place where I'm more of a.... admin I guess you could say. One of the unpleasantries is having to put out the fires when some random person comes in shouting "OMGZ, TEH SKY IS FALLING!". It is always FUD and misinformation they are spouting. I should not have brought that to this thread or forums. :wink:

I am not known here; Therefore the information I provide could easily be seen as misguided. Maybe over time that will change, but for now I'll just hold back on addressing peoples concerns about this stuff. If you check my posts a lot of them are in threads like these. One of the problems I face is that I cannot reveal a lot of my sources without compromising my identity here. So again, I'll just refrain. :wink:

So in that case, yes. Anything you do on WoW could be against the ToU/EULA and could get you banned for things "against the spirit of the game". In that case, multiboxing is against the Terms of Use as long as multiboxing is against the spirit of the game.

And a quote for good faith:
Rules of Conduct.
As with all things, your use of the Program is governed by certain rules of conduct. These rules of conduct (the "Rules of Conduct"), maintained and enforced exclusively by Blizzard, must be adhered to by all users of the Service. It is your responsibility to know, understand and abide by these Rules of Conduct. The following rules are not meant to be exhaustive, and Blizzard reserves the right to determine which conduct it considers to be outside the spirit of the Game and to take such disciplinary measures as it sees fit up to and including termination and deletion of the Account. Blizzard reserves the right to modify these Rules of Conduct at any time.
Nonetheless, certain acts go beyond what is "fair" and are considered serious violations of these Terms of Use. Those acts include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:

  • Using or exploiting errors in design, features which have not been documented, and/or "program bugs" to gain access that is otherwise not available, or to obtain a competitive advantage over other players;
    Conduct prohibited by the EULA or these Terms of Use, including without limitation that conduct prohibited by Section 2(C); and
    Anything that Blizzard considers contrary to the "essence" of the Program.
This was one of the points I was mentioning, but didn't have the time to get an exact quote from their page.

So to the OP: Don't transfer your wifes character, don't use your friends account. Buy new copies of the game and level up normally and you will have little, if any problems.
