WoW Second Account

stokecity_m · 28 Jun 2009 at 12:02

Is it posible to have two accounts using the same bank details?

The reason i ask is my son would like his own account in order to play at the same time as me.

Somene has also mentioned tripple exp if you recommend a friend, whats this all about?and is this posible if i add another account?

Cheers

Yeah its fine, i dont think there is a limit to the number of accounts you can have.

You can have as many accounts as you want/need.

For the whole triple experience thing, go into your account management on wow-europe.com and go to the 'Recruit a Friend' option:

Offer a friend a 10 day FREE trial of World of Warcraft and you could get 30 days FREE play. You can also get bonus levels, friend-to-friend summoning, faster levelling with triple experience gained and an exclusive in-game mount !

I think the mount is a Zebra, but it's been a while since I last played.

Yes.

Yes you can. When the service launched, people were starting new accounts and using the feature on themselves to they could power level up their own alts.

Here is the FAQ on the whole thing:

One more question, will the 10mb virgin media service be ok to use two games runnign at the same time?

Dark_Angel · 28 Jun 2009 at 14:51

There are no problems, Blizzard wants money

I imagine your connection should be fine.

stokecity_m · 28 Jun 2009 at 15:07

to be fair - i don't think the £8.99 /month is too bad for the amount of game time i/my son gets

Puppetmaster · 28 Jun 2009 at 15:28

No reason why 2 games on that connection would be a problem

ive run 2 accounts off the same pc a bit with no lag issues on an 8mb bt line;

stokecity_m · 28 Jun 2009 at 15:53

cheers for the help guys.

i currently play with either a warlock or paladin - what would you recommend to use as the other player, so i get the best 2 player team i can.

I wasn't stating if the pricing was good or bad for the game, just saying that blizzard doesn't care as long as it gets money

Some multiboxers apparently play like 5 accounts at once

A priest could be fun with a warlock, although I don't know what their dps is like these days. As for the paladin, I'd probably go with another melee such as a rogue.

I'm running 5 accounts off the same pc and no lag on a 10mb virgin media, but my graphic setting is on low.

Blizzard closed 3 of accounts for 2 weeks and re-open after I e-mailed them 3 or 4 times explaining to them what I was doing. I've not been playing since they re-open my accounts, too busy at the them.

Did someone say WOW multiboxing? For the 3 people left in the world that have not seen this...

Priest DPS is pretty nice. Warlocks Destruction is very good at the moment, but the 15 percent we get for Incin, Chaos bolt and so on is being nerfed to 10 percent. Though apparently they are going to increase our crit chance.

As for paladin, I have a rogue at 57 and a paladin at 14... it all depends what you want to do. Both are *VERY* strong classes, and paladins can self heal, which makes questing a bit easier (especially since they have shield walls and can bubble) but rogues are really fun too. Personally I DO think paladins are a bit better overall simply because they can DPS, tank and heal. Most beginners never would believe they would enjoy tanking or healing, but some do.
