Account Transfer Help

[Bigman8312]

My friend recently quit WoW and gave me his lvl 70 hunter. I do not know this person irl but through another game, since i do not want him to recover the account once i get good gear on him i wonder if there is a chance to transfer him to my other account. Both accounts have a different name, but i know all the information for both accounts except the cd key for the one with the hunter on it. I read on blizzard account about character transfers and found this "Transfers between accounts can be done only if you are the subscriber on both accounts. (We do not support the transfer of characters between friends, guild mates, or family members.)".

So before I buy a $25 dollar prepaid visa from the store will this be possible since the accounts do not have the same name?

No, the accounts both need to be registered in the name of either account.

So basically, you cant do it unless both accounts are in the same name.

I have the same issue... Would it be possible to call customer service and change it that way? I talked to a gm the other day and he said it would be worth a try.
