[quote='daviddoran',index.php?page=Thread&postID=80 274#post80274]Interesting. It makes sense that only one person can OWN the account, and if I could let my wife PLAY the account, that would be nice, if I ever talk her into playing... I know that with a single account, there'd be no way to tell who was ACTUALLY sitting in front of the computer, but with multiboxing, if suddenly one of my characters gets controlled independantly, would that look suspicous and get me a ban? Or if I had a friend over, and he wanted to take control of one of my chars? [/quote]

Be careful what you're asking for here.

Are you asking the community to help you figure out how to account share with your wife without getting banned? Or your friend?

While discussing what is and isn't against the Terms/EULA is ok (for clarification), if you are confused about the rules you should really speak directly to blizzard. None of us want to get anyone banned, but we are human and do make mistakes so it is typically best to get it straight from the horse's mouth (i.e. Blizzard). If you are asking the community to help you figure out how to sneak around the rules, you'll want to revisit the [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Board&boardID=31']community guidelines[/url] which is found at the rules menu tab on the top of every page.


On a personal note, I agree with some of the other posters here. If you don't agree with the terms of use regarding account sharing, you should not click "I agree" and you should vote with your consumer dollars.


I'm closing the thread because you got the appropriate answer -- you may ONLY share your account with your ONE minor dependant child. If you are confused regarding this policy, you should review the Terms of Use at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/termsofuse.html, the EULA at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/eula.html or the official Blizzard customer service forums. Also see this useful Blizzard Support website article on account sharing.

This is the ToU section you will want to pay attention to:
You agree to these Terms of Use on behalf of yourself and, at your discretion, for one (1) minor child for whom you are a parent or guardian and whom you have authorized to use the account you create on the Service.
3. 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.
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"). You may not share the Account or the Login Information with anyone other than as expressly set forth herein.
