You may not purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, or offer to purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, and any such attempt shall be null and void." >anyway, because I realized that I don't play with my pally (as stated in >the OP) I take her in my account without doing anything... I'd rather >prefer that she continues her life in some other people hands :D I couldn't imagine getting rid of such a high level character. I have one of character of each class on my main server, the lowest is level 64, and I wouldn't consider deleting any of them. Things change too much* so I don't know which character will be my favourite tomorrow. * And by "things", I include my own personal preferences. I used to think that playing a Druid as Balance was a ludicrous idea because Feral was so much fun. I literally couldn't figure out why anyone would do it. :) Now my Druid's main spec is Balance and it has been since the early 70s. steve.kaye -- Jelan, 85 Priest Clokk, 81 Druid Belugar, 76 Warrior Kibbs, 83 Paladin Jengu, 81 Death Knight Mingan, 76 Shaman Miho, 82 Rogue Jaille, 80 Warlock Aloola, 65 Mage [ Ravenholdt-EU (Horde) ] Yopp, 64 Hunter
