[quote='Temor',index.php?page=Thread&postID=74113#p ost74113]Don't listen to the other posts here by those that don't know what they are talking about. It's true that it is against the End User License Agreement (EULA) that account sharing is not allowed. However that in itself is NOT a bannable offense.[/quote]
Temor, please review the Terms of Use.

[quote][b]Establishing an Account.[/b]
You may establish one (1) user account (the "Account") on the Service for each Authentication Key you receive from Blizzard. To establish an Account, you will be required to provide Blizzard with certain personal information and the Authentication Key provided to you by Blizzard. Your failure to supply accurate information to Blizzard when requested, or to update that information as it changes, shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
During the registration process, you will be required to select a username and a password that are unique to the Account (collectively referred to hereunder as "Login Information"). [color=#ff0000]You may not share [u]the Account or the Login Information[/u] with anyone other than as expressly set forth herein.[/color]

[quote]Blizzard’s Absolute Right to Suspend, Terminate and/or Delete the Account.
BLIZZARD MAY SUSPEND, TERMINATE, MODIFY, OR DELETE THE ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME WITH ANY REASON OR NO REASON, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE. For purposes of explanation and not limitation, [color=#ff0000]most account suspensions, terminations and/or deletions are [u]the result of violations of this Terms of Use [/u]or the EULA.[/color] [/quote]

[quote][b]Limitations placed on Account Access[/b]
The ToU speaks extensively about what you may and may not do with a World of Warcraft account. This section highlights a few passages from the ToU that are most relevant to this policy. The core message is that you, and only you (with the exception of a minor authorized to use an account by a parent or guardian), should be accessing an account registered in your name.
[b][color=#ff0000]Blizzard Entertainment does not recognize the transfer of Accounts between individuals. (Section 1E of the ToU) [/color]
[color=#ff0000]You may not share your Account or password with anyone[/color], except that if you are a parent or guardian, you may permit one (1) minor child to use the Account instead of you (in which case you may not use that Account at the same time). (Section 1A of the ToU)
You are liable for all activities conducted through the Account, including any activities which may be conducted by your minor children that you allow to use your Account. (Section 1A of the ToU)
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your User Name and password, and you will be responsible for all uses of your User Name and password whether or not authorized by you. Security of your account is your responsibility. (Section 1D of the ToU) [/b]

This is not a gray area. People HAVE gotten banned for account sharing (including multiboxing using a "gifted" or "wife's" or "fake name" account). Take [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=63111']this thread[/url] as a recent example. Or this one.
There should be NO reason why ANYONE on this forum should even suggest that breaking the WoW rules is "okay". Temor, consider this your first and final warning.
