My little sister has become interested in wow. She has a char under my account but we cant play together. I do have 2 computers with w.o.w. installed. Ofcourse they are both under my current Battle.net. Is there some way that she can have an account under my battle.net? I want her to be able to play wow on my old computer with her own characters and for us to be able to quest together. Would merge accounts work for me?

Also, the 10 day trials. If i set her up with one of those first, and she decides to keep it, can she continue it after the 10 days if she buys a time card? i dont want to start her off wrong.

Thanks for looking/helping : ]

I would suggest using the Recruit-a-Friend (RaF) program, Kodotai: (http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/20588). With the RaF system you can link your account with a brand new account and receive some pretty cool in-game benefits.
    • Recruit and veteran characters can summon one another to each other's locations across the globe.
    • While adventuring with your linked friend or family member, you will each gain triple experience while partied up to level 60.
    • For every two levels recruit characters earn, one "grantable" level is gained. Recruit characters may then grant these levels to lower level veteran characters.

As well as the potential to get a free month and an X-53 Touring Rocket if your sister decides to stay with the game (for 90 days). The RaF promotional program also sets the new account up with a 10 day trial, which will allow your sister to test out the game, and make sure she enjoys it. :0)

Now, I would recommend that you have one of your parents help setup your sister’s account. Keep in mind that only two people are EVER allowed to access the account (from the moment the account is created to the end of time). The first is the person who set up the account in their own name (you aren't allowed to set up an account in any name other than your own legal name). The second is one (1) of the children or trustees (under age 18) of the first person. Not siblings, not parents, not spouses, not friends, not strangers. This simply means that your sister should not be using your account to play.

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns, Kodotai. I’d be happy to clear anything else up, or give you more information on the RaF program if you would like.
