Note... Multiboxing isn't against the EULA... however account sharing is :)

[Drizzit]

just bought our 4rth account like 1 month ago :P and we named it under my brothers name.

Sort of same thing happen to me. I wanted to get the wife (at the time gf) in wow. I thought it would be cute to put everything in her name. Well she ever got into the game, and when i was going to multi box i was going to use her account. Read a post on this site and was like WTF i have to buy another account because i cannot use her account.

You might be able to get the account in your name. You will have to call blizzard up and explain what happen. Hopefully you don't have any high lvl toons on that account.

stupid rulez.

It's a double edge sword. Yes it makes changing your account a pain even if it was a mistake or same family member, but on the positive side it makes it harder for hackers to truly seal your account. You hear a lot about the bad for the TOU, but you ever really hear someone say thank god for TOU if not for that my account would be totally gone. Sort of like when something wrong happens it is "Why me god", but when something good happens "It is about time" (or something like that). Not "thank you god". I am not a big time holly person, but i heard that somewhere and it makes sense.


Note: If anyone doesn't like the god statement, let me know and I will remove it

Yes Drizzit,

im lucky that i dont have high lvls indeed but with me money is a prob.. :P kinda feel sad that i spended €30 for 1 account wich i can ditch now.. i already tryd to call wow but therse something wrong with helpdesk. cant get anyone on phone.

i will have to buy 2 more acc then. :'(

yea i know what u mean got hacked twice.. not saying its bad. but im just sad it that way :P i realy wana go crack some instances down :P

If you do get 2 more accounts, do not forget to refer yourself. You will get 2 free months doing that way. So if you think about it you will only be paying for the expansion pack (the original now cost about the same a monthly charge). My 4 refers just kicked in this month. So my main account now gets 4 free months of play. Bad part was the wife opened up the cc bill this month and saw the 4 charges of (79.99 i think, for the 6 months, which saves me $2 a month per account). I was like ahhhh well the 79.99 is for the 6 months, she jumped in saying well why is it there 4 times and i was like they must have charged me 4 times. I then said i'll call them on Monday (It was sat morning and told her they where closed). Hoping that she will forget, but i think she still remembers. I will tell her that i got the credit, but i got to make sure i get the bill this time. If i wasn't so lazy and i payed my bills that would have never happen... lol i'm so going to hell, but at least it is warm there.

lol thats bummer :P

what should i say to blizzard that they will change the name ect ect.. they can see that its created like 1 month ago.

and yes thnx about the tip of Refer.. think my bro forgot to do that with this acc :P

Man, all this ban talk is making me feel like I felt when I started boxing... like a cheater!! and I know I'm in the right. Dam ,I hate dealing with any customer service people."hold while I transfer you" But I'll have to do it so I'm not looking over my shoulder while boxing. :cursing:

[Drizzit]

I talked to blizzard only once so far (you only can create 3 accounts within a time peroid, the forth gives you problems to create, you can either wait a couple of days or have blizzard create the account for you, which i did). The wait time did suck, passed the time by doing some bg. So about 20 minutes of waiting i got someone and guess what... she spoke perfect ENGLISH, i was like "oh my god, you speak english", she laughed, but anyways she was very helpful, she answered all my questions and i told her next time that i call back i want her.

Thx Drizzit, I feel better.
I'll wait till tomorrow as I am a procrastinator :sleeping:

Quoted from "Drizzit" that Blizzard can band the account (or both) for doing this, that or they just might not do it. On the support page for transferring toons it says that both account


ahh i'm not sure how true that is....

How "not sure" can you be?

Blizzard says: You can only transfer characters between accounts that YOU own (and by ownership, they define it as by having YOUR NAME in the account).
You say: I know that the automated process only checks for last names. I am going to transfer from an account which is NOT mine, to my account.

Are you not breaking the rules?

What are the consequences of breaking the rules?

Seriously, people. Just because "I don't get caught" doesn't mean it's not a bannable offense. It only takes ONE person to report you -- and here you all are, spewing all of this information on a PUBLIC forum. The moment people figure out who your characters are, all they have to do is say "oh, they admitted to xfering a character that wasn't theirs onto their account... I'll just send in a GM ticket..."

And then will you be "not sure" that you're actually going to get banned?
