    Is this against the TOS

    If I let my nephew who lives with me play with my character/account is it allowed or a banable offense?

    I think whomever is playing on your char is responsible for whatever happens. If your nephew gets the character banned, blame him and not SE.
    Other than that, i think you're good.

    Does it really matter? Just don't say anything about it. =/

    Some people let their young kids play a character. It's not a big deal. It's technically against the TOS because SE doesn't want to be held liable for some 7 year old kid being raised in a fundamentalist Christian environment and seeing the word "Godsdamnit". No one but a terrible person would report you for something like that and then you'd probably just be warned.

    According to the TOS:
    3.1 Sharing Account Information. You may not share your account or login information (such as your Square Enix ID and password) with anyone except your legal guardian, your minor child, or Square Enix. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and login information, even from your friends and family. If you violate this provision, you may unexpectedly lose access to your account to a third party without recourse against Square Enix. Square Enix will not be obliged to credit your Square Enix Account with Crysta or other points or awards, which may have been used by a third party as a result of the violation of this clause.

    So in short, yes.

    Deleted my post because you beat me to it!

    While technically yes, I don't think its a huge problem.

    This only applies if he's giving his nephew his login information, technically. If he were to login and then let his nephew play it wouldn't have anything to do with that section of the ToS.

    Also, it doesn't say that Square Enix will take action against the player, it just says that if the player shares their account info Square Enix will not be responsible for account recovery or credits if the player loses access to the account.

    So saying it's against the ToS isn't that accurate.

    This is actually false. The owner is 100% responsible, no matter who uses the account.

    My 2 cents is...don't tell anyone.
    In short, yes.
    Go ahead, but do not come crying to us when or if your Nephew screws up your character or so.
    Also, it will be his fault because he let the Nephew on the acc.
    Just be careful.
