Account Shenanigans

[Tehtsuo]

has anyone ever attempted to contact blizzard about this themselves and for example offer to pay the full sum of a new game to have the registered name changed?

if not, does contacting a GM yourself about this will cause the ban (by 'reporting' it yourself), so should it be anonymously, or doesnt it matter?

I don't really care about the money involved, but my current char on a friends account is 70 with decent gear now, and it'd be a damn pain in the ass to loose it like this

If you contact a GM about this they will think you hacked the account and will lock it.


Money can't buy you a name change for this account, they will only change the name registered on the account by a legal name change, normally deed poll or divorce.

You can call billing and accounts at Blizz if you wont believe me or email them.

I advise against giving any identification if you call, cause you may shoot yourself in the foot...

Account substantiation seems to be a recurring theme these days, probably mostly my fault. Do what I did, save yourself some hasslehoff and head to Walmart for some battlechests. Blizzard will get you if every scrap of your account information isn't you.

Now what in the world am I going to do with 7 WoW accounts. :P

Heh, I'd have to buy 5 more. Can't multibox with two of em cause they're not in my name, too much exposure.

Lol shoot me please.

I'll be banned soon after reading this stuff here....

Before I started with this group, I made some trial accounts to test if my pc would run 5 WoW's. It did but didn't start playing ... Then I ran into another boxer while just playing, looked awesome ofcourse so I went for a 5 man group ... But, had to use 3 trails as I already had 2, and the trails were to see if I would really like it....

I could not create the 3 trials with my own name so changed my first name .... still no good so got another email adres, and then it worked! But atm I'm as pissed now as I was happy back then -.-

2 email adresses and 2 different first names equals ban, I'm sure inch:

I've just sent an email to blizz, cba to start over so I rather loose my 3 new accounts now then at 70 or so :evil:

Thnx for brinning this up, I'll post what they send as an answer.

You got that right man. Get the pain over with now, you're not alone!

[Silly Gooooose]

40$ new accounts eases the pain, but actually paying 60 a month is a pain im not sure I can deal with.

Maybe I'll sell sum cocaine on the streets once a month to afford it.

Its not that diffrent from me selling my seamen :-(

Like it says somewhere on the wow faq pages it is possible to change personal details in certain cases (name of account owner), for free ofc. but you probably will prefer to just kill yourself if you have to talk to a EU GM since all they can do is ctrl+v til the sun don't shine and being so stupid it's rude, i've tried rephrasing a couple emails where i tried to explain that it's really my account not my brothers, when i asked if they would understand if i used an online hebrew translator and using "#¤/& symbols they warned me it's against the rules to do so.

Buy 3 more and 10 box Karazhan?

From what I've experienced, probably not possible. Maybe Attumen, but definitely not Moroes... And certain trash.

Anything requiring 2 tanks is going to be painful with 1 person.

I'm in the clear again :thumbsup: After talking to them on the phone, I sent them the install code's of the WoW's that I bought, together with a picture of my drivers license and a pic of a random bill I recently recieved.

They changed the name on my account with 2 falls names. I can keep using the 2 account I still have with a fake first name, will never be a problem 8)



So, just try and tell you filled in a fake name, and feel very sorry fot it .. They might just fix it :thumbup:
