I'm wanting to purchase a second WoW account for my other half to play with me, but can't remember precisely what is needed. As far as I know Blizzard don't sell you CD keys like NCsoft would do, allowing you to just upgrade with a second account and use your existing installation. If anyone can remember the account purchasing/installation process please let me know as I can't [img]smile.gif[/img] .

What I'm wondering is...Do I need a new cd key just to install my copy of wow on another PC (it would say something like key invalid if so). Do you then use the same key to create an account? Or is the key asked for only on account purchase (I vaguely remember it prompting me for one during installation). I ask these questions cuz I don't want to spend $50 on a brand new copy if I don't need to. I was also even toying with the idea of buying an account online (there are some with maybe one lvl 10 char on it that sell for $15 or so) and just working from there. From what I read it is perfectly legal in the EULA to sell and purchase accounts, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I haven't slept so forgive me if this makes no sense :-/.
