Chances are high that once the new person logs in from a different location and resubs with a different cc, with a different name and billing zip, that some flags are going to be thrown.



Both my current accounts were initially someone else's... 1st was my brothers original account (so same surname), 2nd was a friend of mine's who declared he would NEVER play again (and is now my main account). I also changed the payment details on my brothers account to pay for him (and log into it occasionally from a different address).


I travel regularly (in the 18 months i've logged in from Brazil, Caribbean and Australia as well as 3/4 countries in Europe)...


I have also had large amounts of Gold exchanged with me... I've given gold away and had friends give me gold when they stopped playing (20k+).


All this and I have NEVER... EVER... WHATSOEVER... had an email, call or account suspension from Blizzard.


Personally, I put it primarily down apathy! But, I don't doubt that it is easier to deal with the hundreds/thousands of account retrieval requests then the potentially hundred's of thousands of 'unusual' activity blips that they would have on a regular basis.


Change the details as you mention and i would bet you won't hear anything on it again.

I can't go from one side of Ohio to the other without having to change my PW and such If I logged in a foreign country, I would probably have to show up at Blizzard in person to get my account unlocked lol.

They do allow account transfers under certain situations. Like a minor coming of age. /shrug It's that way for an adult and a minor, if a minor wants to transfer their character off mommy and daddy's account to their own, they allow that, same last name, different first name, etc. Or since the account info has to be "controlled" by an adult, once a child reaches of age, they can have the account info updated to reflect that. I did some serious reading into that way back when, it might have changed.
