Subject: Can Blizzard please clarify ToU, Section 1.A?
   Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

The section that I am wondering about is as follows:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html


Q u o t e:
1. Establishment of a World of Warcraft Account.


A. You may establish one (1) user account (the "Account") with which to play World of Warcraft by accessing the Service pursuant to the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in this Agreement. In order to establish an Account, you must be a 'Natural Person,' who is the age of majority in the country where you are a citizen. Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, partnerships, or any other form of legal entity other than that of a "natural person" may not establish an account, and by accepting this Agreement, you hereby represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements. You may not share the Account with anyone, except that if you are a parent or guardian, you may permit one (1) minor child to use the Account when not in use by you. You are liable for all uses of the Account. 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 Blizzard Entertainment.


My question is this. If I purchase two copies of the retail version of World of Warcraft from my local store, can I use the CD keys to set up two accounts for myself (one account for each CD-Key)?

The ToU is unclear, in that I can't understand if the (1) refers to one account per person, or one account per CD-Key.

People sometimes use multiple accounts to get around the limit of number of characters on a particular realm, and also to transfer items through the Gadgetzan AH from a toon in one account to their toon in a different account.

If such people are in jeopardy of having their accounts suspended or cancelled, I believe it to be only fair that the rule be clarified. If no violation of the ToU exists, then these players can rest easier with a definitive answer.

Again, thank you for your time in reading this, and your thoughtful responses to it as well, in advance. :-)
Pardon the mask and my being Irish.

   You are allowed to have one account per authentication key. If you purchase mutliple copies of the game, you can create multiple accounts.
