Account Shenanigans

[Tehtsuo]

Even though there is no official stance on this I recently spoke to a customer service person (EU) that explained had my 6th account been in my surname (my wifes maiden name is what it is currently on) I could have changed it as we have the same address / post code and I even paid for it. However because it was a different surname even though i had paid for it for well over 1 year they wouldn't let me.

My opinion would be to sort it all now. Get 5 accounts that are yours from the get go, your name, your details, your email and secret question, all yours. That way, 2 years down the line when you have 12 lvl 100's and 14 DK's they can't turn around and ban you for a slight oversight that you made now.

Eliminate all possibilities now and save yourself some hassle that may come in the future. You will have piece of mind and a clear consience, all it takes is some nub to open a ticket saying "I think he is account sharing" to alert the GM's suspicion and to start looking at things he may have overseen had it been a simple "hes multi boxing". its just something to think about before your heart is broken.

I had my account temporarily suspended when it got hacked but I didn't know it had been hacked as I was away on holiday when it happened and came back to you the message "You account has been banned" when you try to login in and I tell you my heart dropped a thousand feet, to me then it was like having my baby ran over and then reveresed on! It turned out a mate who knew I was away had alerted GM's who had closed the account to be on the safe side. But for those few hours before I found out the story I was mortified and close to crying.

So, after my wall of text crit you, the basis is, start fresh on YOUR accounts where no other judgement could be made and you will box in peace!

Good point. Do you think it'd be risky if I were to transfer that character from the account under my brother's name? My concern is: After I successfully move the character to the account under my name, am I in the clear? Or would Blizzard come after me because the first names don't match after the fact?

Keep in mind, there will be no former owner coming forth to try to contest the character move. My only vulnerability is reports for "Lol botting"
