Accounts w/ Different Names + Keyclone?

[The IT Monkey]

Theoretically, Keyclone could be used by botters to very easily farm gold or powerlevel or something.

Not even THEORETICALLY possible. Keyclone is not used by "botters", if they are botters they are AUTOMATING character actions using some program that does things that you CAN NOT DO with keyclone. AHK can be used to break the ToS (that is why I personally dont use it). Keyclone (the creator of the program) has been very careful not to include ANY of that functionality in Keyclone the program.

Farming gold? Not against the ToS. Selling gold IS against the ToS. We should be calling them Gold SELLERS instead of farmers because we ALL farm gold and in fact Blizzard encourages that. (Have you seen the price of Epic Flying Mounts?)

Powerleveling? Not against the ToS. Powerleveling a character on someone else's account IS against the ToS. As is playing someone else's account at all. You are in fact breaking the ToS by having several accounts not in your name. I am not getting down on you for this as I currently have the same issue with one of my accounts. I am currently trying to rectify that situation but it's looking like I am going to just have to bite the bullet and level up another character to 65 on that account. I plan to do this by boosting (formally known as Powerleveling) but in the legal way, by dragging him behind MY characters.

since people report that Keyclone + Multiboxing = ban

People may "report" this but if they do those reports are FALSE. Multiboxing raises your profile... as in you get more attention. HOWEVER YOU DO IT. It's not all casting at once, it's four guys following your toon all looking like your main.

Multiboxing = attention = gm attention

gm attention + anything funky about your accounts = ban

anythign funky about your accounts /= keyclone

It is this simple. ^^^

Most botters use a program called [EDITED] which runs around a predetermined path and kill mobs for hours. The easiest way to spot a botter, is a toon not wearing quest or instance gear.

Thanks for agreeing with me kllrwlf.

Could you do me a favor and remove the name of the botting program from your response? Don't want to advertise a program that is only used for botting.

Done.

Personally I have 5 accounts. All of them have the same contact information besides one account that my wife set up for me as a surprise. The problem was that she didn't have a clue about the game or whatnot so when she set up my second account she used her name. She does not, nor never has played and bought the game for me.

So I have an account that has my wife's name on it and four others that had my name on it. I never really thought much about it but since this topic and another like it I have decided to stop playing that account. Kind of sucks because I have a 70 on it but don't want to risk getting my other 4 accounts banned.

I really wish though there was different rules for a married couple. I am sure I am not the only person that got an account set up by a spouse that doesn't play the game.

There is no one you can contact to get the billing information changed? Maybe call blizzard?

[Mystrana]

Just a quick ? i run two account with different login names but both
have my name and contact details on the accounts and paid for by the
same credit card.

will that be a worry(the two different login names) ?



P.S im new (about 1 week old at this)

P.P.S i log both in manually i dont use Keyclone to log in with.

[Diamndzngunz]

It should not be.. seeing everyone has a different log in name.

You cannot have 4 accounts with Bob as the login name. Think about it.

[Mystrana]

DOH well teaches me for staying up late last night

should have known that Thank you

[RGant]

Thats my situation for the last year and a half.Keyclone + 2 accounts with different Registration Names(Mine and my ex-girlfriend) and different Contact Details.Both accounts are paid by the same credit card.

They KNOW im doing this but they basically dont care at all.So I try to stay out of trouble 'cos that day they could start caring.

Maybe the trick is I dont use identhical characters nor the same class(I have leveled undead lock + belf priest / belf paladin + orc warrior / dwarf hunter + draenei mage) so maybe I have never been reported(never talked to a GM).

If the setup is 5 undeads mages youre pretty fucked up Im afraid.

I agree - I hadn't thought twice about this before. I have been using my wife's acct (my 2nd of 5) for boxing for months since it turned out wow was not at all her thing (all the acct info is the same excpet our first names). After spending time looking into this yesterday, I concluded Blizzard has some specific rules against husband / wife sharing (and that you will get banned)....I reluctantly picked up another copy of wow last night, will transfer what i can over (items, gold, etc.) and will cancel my wife's acct. I'd rather start over on 1 char, then have all 5 banned.

They have an interesting write-up on this topic here... http://us.blizzard.com/support/artic...506&rhtml=true

WHAT ABOUT COMMUNITY PROPERTY LAWS?

In some States, Countries and regions, a married couple owns all property jointly, so why can't they both use a single World of Warcraft account? The answer lies in what a World of Warcraft Account is and who owns it. Blizzard maintains ownership of all World of Warcraft accounts. The Terms of Use agreement is a license to use the account you establish, as long as you obey all the rules. A World of Warcraft account is like an amusement park ticket. By buying the ticket you, and one of your minor children if you so choose, can enter the amusement park. While you and your spouse may be one legal entity for property considerations, you will each need your own ticket in order to enter the amusement park. Tickets cannot be given away or shared with anyone; they only grant entrance for one specific person and their minor child. Additionally, if you break the rules your ticket may be revoked; allowing other people (including your spouse) to use your ticket instead of acquiring their own is considered a serious infraction and may result in everyone involved being escorted from the amusement park!
