Still, that 'friend' had no right to say that to you. In the ToS it states hubbies, wives and a supervised kiddo can share an account. Sheesh.

Actually, Novikova, you might want to go back and re-read the TOS/EULA. It doesn't say that. The sole exception to the "no account sharing" rule is that a parent or legal guardian may have ONE minor child play on their account up until that child is no longer a minor. If the account was created for a minor child, then Billing will help the parent transfer the account to the child's name when that child turns 18 and proper documentation is provided.

To the subject at hand...yes, that so-called "friend" was completely and totally out of line, and I too would suggest discussing the matter with the hubby to make sure things are properly addressed.

Huh, how odd. I saw a blue post on the forum ages ago that it wasn't unusual/GMs didn't really go after husband/wife account sharing. Maybe I'm old.

They don't. It's not covered by the ToS/EULA (probably so that divorced couples who sabotage each others' toons/accounts can't blame Blizz) but Blizz does allow account sharing between spouses in practice. Shared last name seems to be key. I've heard many examples of spouses whose accounts were both in one person's name where Blizz CS allowed the name change on one of the accounts and so on.
