Quick way to make second account?

I'm afraid I may know the answer but I'll ask anyway - Is there a quick way I can go into my account and just 'buy' a second account?

I've decided I want a 2nd account for twinks on my server, as my main account is already full (10 toons) for that server. Will the second account have the same name/pass word? or will they be different with separate accounts on WoW account manager site? If so... what info would i have to guarantee is the same with the first account if I would wish to transfer characters between the 2 accounts at a later date?

looking for something i can do tonight - I'm afraid however I'll have to at least buy another physical game box from the store 2morrow? :( I'd prefer (this time at least) to just pay it online, and start using it immediately.

ty for any help/advice you can offer

Q u o t e:
ok, just now getting around to making my 2nd account, and ran into snags....

1) wondering if going thru the recruit-a-freind section will actually get me the 1 free month on my main account when I buy the game 2morrow for this 2nd account? OR am I violating something somewhere by not being my own friend?


You're not your own friend? Do you make bad relationship choices? Are you bad with money? /comfort

On a serious note, you can certainly use 'Recruit-A-Friend' with your second account =).

Q u o t e:
2) I don't want to use a CCard - i like buying the game cards, and have a few still unused on hand, but when I went to make new account - it will not let me use the game card, or a NO payment option yet. I find this odd, since a) game card is paying, i would think it should work & b) being a 'TRIAL' account you would think it wouldn't need a payment option at this time.... ???


Unfortunately, use of a credit card is absolutely necessary to establish an account, though you can of course use game cards to pay for the account once it is established.

Q u o t e:
3) also I was wondering if there's any discrepancies between my 2 accounts information that would prevent me from transferring toons, is there a way to test for it while it's still in 'Trial' mode before I assign my authorization number to it, and finding out later down the road it was done wrong, and I'm SoL...?


Actually, your best bet is to visit the Character Transfer FAQ at: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=20558

If you have any questions that the FAQ doesn't cover, you'll probably want to contact our Billing Department for more information.
