| What are Parental Controls?
The Parental Control feature allows a secondary login point from which the parent or guardian of a minor is able to control login time down to 30 minute intervals.
How does the Parental Control system work?
First, a Parental Control Password must be created and sent to a separate email address that the minor does not have access to. You must have access to the original account name and password to do so. If you do not have access to the account in question please contact Billing and Account Services for assistance. From there, a Play Schedule can be created for the purpose of setting when the World of Warcraft account is accessible and when it is not. Any time you wish to submit and save a change to the Play Schedule, you must enter the Parental Control Password.
What is a Parental Control Password?
The Parental Control Password is used to set and modify a Parental Control Schedule. It is created during the initial setup process. If an account owner does not want anyone else to modify the Parental Control Schedule, he or she should not share the Parental Control Password with others.
How do I create an actual schedule?
When you reach the Play Scheduler, you will see the days of the week presented in half-hour blocks. Blocks in green denote when your account is accessible, while blocks in red note when the account is inaccessible. The schedule initially defaults to all green. To make certain hours inaccessible, simply click on the block you want to limit. This will change it from green to red and prevent anyone from logging in to the account during that time. Clicking on the half-hour time block again will change it back to green. Alternatively, you can set the entire schedule to be off-limits, turning all the time blocks to red, and then manually select the hours you want to open up for access.
What if I have trouble setting up a Play Schedule?
