5 year old defeats Fyrakk

I had a pleasure to see this, glad you can share something with him!!!

At first I was very hesitant, but I let him explore a little bit while supervised.

Thats against the terms of service.

I started playing WoW first then my daughter joined me. She no longer plays but I still have fond memories of the times we shared and the fun things we did together. I think you’re being a very responsible parent supervising your son the way you do. This was a heart warming story. Thank you for sharing.

I really doubt Blizzard cares that a parent is supervising their child playing on their account my guy.

Then we have …

You may, at your discretion, allow a minor child, that you are the parent or legal guardian of, access to your account. They can essentially play on the WoW account you are registered to, if you wish.

If you want to give them their own WoW account to play on, you could add it to your current Battle.net account. I would recommend that you create a separate Battle.net account, under your name, that they’ll use. This allows you to set parental controls on it, that won’t impact your ability to play on your account, and give them their own account for their own pet, mount, toy, heirloom, achievement, etc… collection.

If they are over 13 but under 18, they can have an account in their name, but you’ll be required to set up parental controls.

Then we have:
.
World of Warcraft - ESRB
.
The game is rated Teen, not 5 year old… In addition, it is against the ToS to allow anyone to use your account. Until the ToS is amended to say otherwise, it is still against the ToS…period. A customer service representative post doesnt change the document.

[Shadybolt-thrall]

Mate… Vrakthris knows very well what is allowed and what isn’t.

[Raven-atiesh]

Why did you just repeat the customer service reps post? I already covered this…
.
Post the section of the ToS that specifically says you may allow other people to use your account.
.
You cant, because it specifically says that this is not allowed. As such, the statement “it is against the ToS” is 100% correct, factual and undebatable.
.
If the ToS is ever changed, I will change my statement. Until then, a ToS document beats out a customer service rep in a court of law every time.

I dont have a bone in this, but when its referencing a minor child, its talking about the 13-18 age range.

Which is also outlined in the T for teen rating

Child wants to play

You can do either if they are a minor, and under 13. You can let them use your license, or you can make a different license on the same Blizzard license. If they are under 13, you could even create a different Blizzard account in your name. If they are over 13, you can create a Blizzard account in their name though, this way you can do things like chat via battle net at the same time, and pet battle. You won’t share pets, mounts or heirlooms, but at some point in the future it will make it …

With no correction from Vrak, as they always do if they see something that is even just slightly wrong, and with Vrak saying these two things:

You may, at your discretion, allow a minor child, that you are the parent or legal guardian of, access to your account. They can essentially play on the WoW account you are registered to, if you wish.

If you want to give them their own WoW account to play on, you could add it to your current Battle.net account. I would recommend that you create a separate Battle.net account, under your name, that they’ll use.

We KNOW that they are talking about a kid that’s below 13 years old, because that’s what Vrak is referencing.

But go ahead, if you think this is wrong … grab a link of the OP and ask about it over on the Customer Support page. And yes, I do trust Vrak on this - like anyone who regularly uses these forums should.

[Branos-khazgoroth]

Cute story and all, but… Blizzard doesn’t allow account sharing…

[Arveiaturace-wyrmrest-accord]

Congratulations on him! But . How dare they say the words kill and dragon together.

[Arveiaturace-wyrmrest-accord]

Had an answer been found?

[Legalizenugs-illidan]

The next time I see someone failing badly in game I’m going to tell them that they’re worse than a five year old and point them to this thread.

[Tahonto-malganis]

“it’s like playing with NPCs anyway”

LMFAO.

I’m a dad to a 7 month old and I loved this post. Looking forward to potential interest in him but I really don’t want him playing this degenerate game the same way I did back in 07.

Good for you at supervising him, can’t trust anyone these days,. especially online

despite the wholesome post, the title kinda reads like a subtle diss to LFR lol
