    I agree with you Cepheus - action in that example would be very unlikely... However going back to the original poster's question:

    If you multibox you will get extra attention from the lovely GM staff. If they find anything wonky with account info you will most likely lose those accounts without any hope of appeal.

    Yea, my first post might have been a bit off. I was merly suggesting having your friends pay for your new accounts.

    Get yourself a litte extra job. A few extra accounts isnt THAT expensive if you come to think about it.
    (well might depend on where you live, but atleast not in my country)

    If you can't afford it... it might not be for you at this time.

    Since you're in college right now, I would suggest you work harder on your studies so that you can have a kick-ass job that pays well (or run your own company)... then you can buy all the toys you ever wanted.

    I would have to agree with this.

    Multiboxing can be very addictive. If you start it while in college, you would risk that it could affect your education.

    Default If you don't like the answer, ask again.

    You could always call up/email Blizzard support or file a GM petition and ask them. It isn't us that is enforcing Blizzard's internal policies, or us that will suspend/ban your account.

    Let us know what they tell you.

    I agree that it isnt a good thing, and personally I would never share my account with anyone. But I have on one occation let a friend try my multibox rig for one BG fight.(he did however not get my accountinformation or anything) I hardly think that Blizzard would have taken any action against that.
    Just because you can get away with murder, doesn't mean you should.

    Account sharing is against the rules. There is no gray area. Not getting caught should not be considered a gray area. What goes around comes around -- 2 days from now, 2 months from now, 2 years from now... The paranoia is not worth it.

    Default I may not like the Terms of Use, but I still want to lemming off the bridge with everyone else

    I did a quick grep through the Warcraft Terms of Use and found some interesting facts:


    1. The word "should" is only used twice:

    "YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING WORLD OF WARCRAFT TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT" and
    "you should always remember to protect yourself in areas where the members of hostile races can attack you"

    2. The phrase "may not" is used nine times:

    "You may not share the Account or the Login Information with anyone other than as expressly set forth herein."
    "You may not host or provide matchmaking services for the Game"
    "You may not disrupt or assist in the disruption of"
    "You may not create derivative works based on the Program without Blizzard’s prior written consent"
    "you may not use any name:"
    "You may not use a misspelling or an alternative spelling to circumvent the name restrictions listed above"
    ", you may not:" ... long list of things you may not do. Its all listed in Section 5(B)
    "You may not purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account,"
    "you may not sell items for "real" money or otherwise exchange items for value outside of the Game."

    3. The characters "fun" appear four times, as part of the words:
    reFUNd
    reFUNd
    reFUNd
    malFUNction

    4. The word "Ownership" occurs three times:

    As a section title.
    "you acknowledge and agree that you shall have no ownership or other property interest in the Account"
    Another section title called "Ownership/Selling of the Account or Virtual Items."

    5. The word "not" occurs 54 times. Here are the first two:

    "IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST CLICK "REJECT.""
    "Any use of the Service not in accordance with the Terms of Use is expressly prohibited."

    6. The word "suspend" occurs four times. Here is a highlight:

    "BLIZZARD MAY SUSPEND, TERMINATE, MODIFY, OR DELETE THE ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME WITH ANY REASON OR NO REASON, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE."

    7. The character "termina" as in TERMINATE, TERMINATION, TERMINATED, TERMINATING your account occur 17 times.


    Do we need to hit the dead horse over the head any more.

    As I can see here, it is sharing your account information that is against the ToU, nothing about another person sit down at your computer for a limited amount of time when you are allready logged in.

    I might just make an ingame ticket about this to ask if my "murder" was really a ban-reason.

    Default

    There was a question about this on the CS forum a few days ago....Belfaire (or might have been Malk) stated that even having a friend playing on your account for a little bit while you are there is considered account sharing and they have the trial accounts for people trying to get their friends interested in playing.
