Different names on my accounts

[Monk3yv]

Yeah I'll go ahead and try to talk to someone first, as the names are indeed obviously fake, but I am already prepared to go ahead and freeze my 3 un-matching accounts and creating 3 new matching ones.

If they do, maybe you should reconsider giving them any more of your money. Not wanting to put your real name on the internet is understandable.

This would be correct.

If you don't agree to the ToU/EULA:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html

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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you acknowledge and agree that you shall have no ownership or other property interest in the Account, and you further acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to the Account are and shall forever be owned by and inure to the benefit of Blizzard.

Then you shouldn't click "I agree", and you shouldn't support them with any more money.

Yea it makes perfect sense now, but when i had my first, second, then third accounts, I was not even aware of account transfers, multiboxing using keyclone, or anything else. This was about 3 years ago, and so I saw no problem simply putting whatever I wanted, and honestly never even read the ToS when I created my accounts. I don't cheat and didnt plan on getting in trouble. I would multibox ghetto style using alt-tab :P

So now obviously I see the flaw in my mindset when i was a n00b, simple as that. Of course it makes sense now, it wasnt an issue. It is however an issue now :S

So anyway, thanks everyone. Wish me luck please.

You can get cheap CD-keys on the net if you dont care about the CD's.
Dunno if it's ok to link sites here since they sell gold and what not too, but you can find the WoW battlechest cheaper then any store, EU that is.

And do what? WoW is the only fantasy MMO worth playing at the moment. Monopolies for the loss. There are no REAL alternatives, so customers are forced to accept Blizzard's greedy policies.

You're not forced to play. And you're not forced to keep the game if you initially choose not to accept the agreement. Don't agree to documents you've not read.

A lot of you people don't seem to be familiar with the negative effects of monopolies and oligopolies.

There are TONS of mmorpg's out there. EQ2, Guild Wars, Pirates of the Caribean, Conan H. Adventures, City of Heroes, City of Villans, and tons more, including some that are completely free to play. I fail to see how Blizzard has a monopoly, just because you prefer to play WoW.

[magwo]

There have always been tons of alternative operating systems to DOS/Windows - still Microsoft has been sentenced many times in court for various monopoly-enabled offenses.

Edit: Don't get me wrong - I like WoW, I just think the EULA/TOS strongly violates "fair use" and customer integrity.

I suppose I'm screwed too then. but hoping I understand this part of
the TOU(terms of use) You represent that you are an adult in your
country of residence. 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.Now I have 5 boys they all play as do I,and my brother rents a
room he plays.So there are 9 accounts in all from this IP and 3 last
names on them of which I play 1 of mine and 4 of my boys, 2 that don't
play anymore 2 that are part timers the 5th is an addict that won't let
me near his.

I bought my boys thier copies of wow first they
all used there mans and my cc info. I got interested and got my own
account .I discovered you guys and with the tou statement above thought
I was in the clear.

any thoughts ?

[magwo]

tou statement above thought I was in the clear.

As the names on the accounts differ you are not - I suggest you contact Blizzard and have the names changed to yours before you get banned.
This is yet another example of regular, honest customers getting shit because of Blizzards over-controlling and greedy contracts.

Dude, enough with the "Blizzard Greed" crap. It's pointless and childish, and boring. People are asking for serious help, not your views on capitalism and monopolies.

And for the record, I think the policies are FINE the way they are. Go read some forums like MMOWNED where the account thieves hang out, and see all the ways they are trying to get around the security to KEEP accounts they steal, then read the threads on CSF where people are locked out of their accounts for weeks because of them, and then tell me Blizzard's rules are too strict, and it's all because of their "monopoly" and "greed".

I guarantee if your accounts get hacked, then you'll think the policies are FINE. Trust me, you will.

It's a pretty involved process right now to get a account back, imagine how worse it would be if the thieves could change the owner's name at will, and it was legal to buy accounts - which technically it would be if shared accounts were allowed - thieves would take accounts and they'd never be seen again, because Blizzard would not and could not afford the staff and lawyers to subpeona banks and PayPal to get billing info and records of transactions. Having ONE owner on the account is the best security you can have. If they reduced their security so people like you are happy, I GUARANTEE Account Administration will stop recovering accounts from that moment forward. "Account hacked? Gear sharded? Sorry, can't help you, move along!" The policies are there for damned solid reasons, and I'll bet you anything they studied every game out before WoW to see what security issues they would face, and determined that account sharing = massive fraud, not "Muahahaha we'll fleece them for BILLIONS!" <Dr. Evil pinky> "Muahahahaha Muahahahaha Muahahaha"

But if you want to keep making your moronic statements about "greedy Blizzard", go for it, but just don't do it here. This is a forum to discuss multi-boxing, not complain about Blizzard, and you stain the community with your comments. In case you haven't noticed, most people here are pro-Blizzard and support their policies, including the guy who runs the place.

If you want to babble about monopolies and "greedy Blizzard", take it to the General Forums, there's plenty of trolls there who will share that kind of idiotic butthurt.
