Hey there, as its my birthday today one of my friends decided he's quitting WoW.
He gave me his account details and said it was my birthday present and such.

Whatever the circumstances may be, Spazy, it is not possible to transfer ownership of characters or the accounts they are located on. Blizzard Entertainment does not recognize the transfer of accounts from one player to another. Such transfers are a violation of our Terms of Use, as stated in the following sections:
Q u o t e:
D. During the registration process, you will be required to select a user name and a password that are specific to the Account (collectively referred to hereunder as "Password"). Your Password is to be kept confidential at all times and you are solely responsible for the security of your Password. You may not disclose your Password to anyone, or allow your Password to be used by anyone other than yourself and/or your one (1) minor child. Blizzard Entertainment is not responsible for any harm that may result to the Account (including without limitation the deletion or modification of characters in the Account) as a result of a lost or shared password. The user name you choose shall be subject to the naming guidelines contained in this Terms of Use Agreement.
E. Blizzard Entertainment does not recognize the transfer of Accounts, and any authorized transfer of the World of Warcraft software (as set forth on the worldofwarcraft.com website) will result in the permanent deletion of the Account attached to that software. You may not offer any Account for sale or trade, and any such offer is a violation of this Agreement and may result in suspension or termination of the Account.
By giving you the password to his account, your friend is in violation of section 1-D of the Terms of Use (above), which clearly state that you may not disclose your password to anyone. In addition, the ownership of the account cannot be transfered to you or any other person, as stated in section 1-E of the Terms of Use (also above). By logging onto your friends account, you are effectively compromising the security of the account; which is a severe violation of our Unauthorized Account Access Policy. If you are logging onto your friend's account and are not the registered user (read: original owner) of the account, this may result in the closure of all related accounts. I would suggest, for your sake, that you cease any and all account sharing activities as soon as possible.
The direct answer to your question can be found in the following quote from our Paid Character Transfer FAQ:
Q u o t e:
Account Restrictions:
- Transfers between accounts can be done only if you are the subscriber on both accounts.
- Trial accounts are not eligible to send or receive characters. To remove this restriction please upgrade to a paid account.
- Characters may not be transferred to or from a locked, suspended, or banned account.
I hope that helps to make our stance on this matter very clear, Spazy. Account security is of utmost importance to us and should we find that any players are sharing their account information or compromising another account, you can be sure that we will take all appropriate actions to rectify the situation. Stay safe.
