This article will show you how to set parental controls on your children's/significant other's World of Warcraft account if they are playing just a little too much.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Computer with internet access
  • World of Warcraft Account Info
  • Yourself

Step1
First you would need to get the account information from your child or significant other if you don't already know this information. You will then go to www.worldofwarcraft.com and click on account management on the right hand side of the page.
Step2
You will come to a login screen where you would type in the username and password for the account you wish to modify. When this is finished you should see account information. You should see a button for parental controls. Click this button and it will ask you a security question that only the account holder would know, so of course again you will have to ask for it.
Step3
The prompt will come up to make a username and password for the parental controls. This will allow you to change the time allowed per week and what hours during the day they can play. This will help significantly especially if you put amount of time they can play for the day to like 1 to 2 hours. Thats it! Have fun seeing your child/significant other more often now!

Tips & Warnings

  • Make sure to have all the information for the account before you start, it will make it much easier
  • Use an easy to remember password but something hard to guess.
  • Do not do this to your significant other behind their back.
