I beg to differ, and so does blizzard. [/size]

I have posted official sources at to why this is the case, as well as threads FROM THIS VERY FORUM from people who have experienced, FIRSTHAND, getting banned for not having matching account info either because they a) [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=42576']made up the names they put on each account[/url] (i.e. "Mickey Mouse") or b) shared an account that did not originally belong to them. Please re-read the threads that I linked as they both show the two reasons I just mentioned as the ONLY reason for banning the account.

In both cases, people HAVE gotten banned.

Even IF there were no evidence of banning, IT IS WRITTEN MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE RULES. Of which I have linked an amazing amount. Just because you only speed 5 miles over the speed limit doesn't mean some ornery cop CANNOT pull you over. Speeding, EVEN ONLY FIVE MILES OVER, is illegal.

Furthermore, I don't appreciate ANY person recommending in a beginner's forum a way for people to break the rules such that they might get banned. Not only is it against the community guidelines, it gives outsiders a reason to claim that we are "cheaters". To the outside community, you are a representative of the multiboxing community as a whole -- please keep that in mind.

Players of World of Warcraft cannot report you for multiboxing and a GM upon checking the names of the account will not make a determination as to banning an account just because he finds the account names are different. If there are further circumstances such as other reasons for breaking the EULA as you've indicated, those will get a player banned, but the names on the accounts will not. All of the posts made on the message boards here indicate some other thing occurred which caused the accounts to be banned such as a dispute with the original subscriber of an account.
Essentially, what you're saying here is that: Yes, it is against the rules. However, you can break the rules and get away with it.

This is not in-line with our Community Guidelines, nor is it even accurate. You CAN get banned for breaking the rules, no MATTER how minute and it doesn't matter WHO reports you or for WHAT. If blizzard finds you breaking the rules, they can and will ban your account.

I have cited ALL of my sources from official sites such as worldofwarcraft.com and blizzard.com. You have provided no sources for your hypothesis, which are directly contradictory to mine. Who, therefore, is correct? The official Blue GM's on the official wow forums? Or you?

How about this: I will publically apologize to you if you can find me an official blizzard post saying that you will not get banned for having multiple names on accounts that you are playing at the same time.

Then let me make this very clear, and VERY final.

Establishing an Account.
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.
