More then Three Accounts.

So yes, I found out you can't make more then three accounts tied to an IP, but heres the problem. My family and I want to play the game together, we all live in the same house therefore all of us have the same IP and there are four of us so one of us has to be left out or just can't play. Is there anyway around this because too be honest it's kind of silly. I understand the reasoning of not wanting people to have multiple accounts, but this limitation kinda hurts families who wish you play on your private server especially ones who have played WoW since 2005 together until Cata when we all decided to quit and now we are back because I played on the server, loved it and then my parents saw me play it and wanted to also give it a try and they are enjoying themselves but my brother now can't play with us.

So please could we get some help?

It's not silly. It's a necessary precaution to keep botnets from creating thousands of fake accounts to flood the game with malicious spammers. The account creation restriction isn't put in place to hinder legitimate players as the policy is strictly on the number of accounts created per IP; not accounts playing per IP.

You can easily create additional accounts if you Google how to change/reset your IP for your household or simply create accounts from another device, like your mobile phone, a friend or relative's computer, or a work computer. The terms of use clearly says a family of five can all be playing their characters at once if they wish.

I actually understand the whole botting thing it's just a little frustrating and I didn't see anywhere in the Terms of Service saying it was against five family members playing however we might be considered multiboxing and it's kinda that fear. So far we did try to make an account outside the IP and it failed but were going to try again. I will bump this thread if it fails again though. Thanks for the reply xD
