Name change question

I've seen this question asked before, but needed some further information. Does Blizzard recognized same sex marriages? I was married this year and wanted to have my account (which is different from this account I am posting from [my account is currently inactive and the forums would not let me post from it]) merge with my partner's account so we do not have to paid for two accounts. Is this possible to do, first off. I live in a state where they do not recognize the marriage legally. How do I go about having my last name changed?

Thanks

As state above, Neotitan - this really isn't relevant as no one outside of a parent/guardian - one child relationship may share accounts.

Not spouses, significant others, siblings, BFFs, no one, under our terms of service.

WoW!! I had no clue that my spouse could not play on my account!!!! What is the reasoning behind this?


We ask everyone have their own account - it's just better that way.

When anyone, even someone as trusted as a spouse has your information, you've lost control of it. Even if they ARE trustworthy, you've no real way to know where that information may be used or that those systems are secure. Tracking down the source of a compromise when you are positive there is only one system involved and you are the only one with access can be bad enough. When multiple systems become (or could potentially be) involved - that issue grows exponentially.

A child may share one account with a parent or guardian, in fact - if underage - accounts should be in an adult's name for them.
