    Well..assuming you know the English tv series called Shameless. That was sort of the scenario. 90% of my old class are now hooligans.

    They can't prove it's your account <.< >.> People make accounts of other people all the time. You don't have to give the password of someone else's account.
    Welcome to New Blizzard where everything ages backwards, dead servers are left gasping for breath, homogenization is disguised as uniqueness, leveling mirrors the progression of travel in the last 150 years, and gold is just a nuisance.

    @ winter blossom I agree, but when it was bought with their money and you take it away cant it be seen as theft? again, i 100% agree with you im just thinking about laws. then again laws work differently in diff. countries so im not sure about yours.

    Everything you said shrieked of somebody with an unpleasant superiority complex which explains why your class took an instant dislike to you as nobody likes a snob

    I don't think he meant it like that. More like today's society is going against bullying (among many things) in very "wrong" ways - like this Facebook password thing. I'm not saying that actions shouldn't be taken against bullying, but that actions should be taken to help children deal with bullying. Because in the end it's impossible to protect everyone from every bad thing there is, might as well do something to help them cope with it.

    Short of severe physical abuse or neglect, children have essentially zero rights in the US to challenge parental authority.

    Can't speak about other countries, but in here the child has no say in that matter.

    It would only be considered illegal if they were of legal age and even then it's unlikely a court would be in favour

    my bad, then. a friend of mine was in almost the same situation(but it was about a pc, not a phone) but he was just under or just above 18, he mustve been over 18 then. (edit: I saw your post adam86, and my friend did win his case. his dad had to give him back the pc + pay for any damages. granted, they were/are both filthy rich so I doubt the money was a problem for them. just a matter of both wanting to win I guess)

    Yeah, because children regard eachother in that manner. I wasn't even aware of their IQ's until I started crawling out of my inferiority complex in my 20's. Thank you.

    Agreed. It's definitely the wrong way.

    Not if they are minors. Minors technically can't own anything. It all falls back to the parent or guardian. Once they are 18 things might be different.

Though, it will not be a pure vanilla server since you can still fly in the old content, and you don't have to farm things just to raid. Just wanted to congratulate Blizz for giving the folks what they wanted, a classic vanilla world.

    Terrorism? Definitely not. Doesn't matter how many times you recite your childhood.
