    That might work for other games where you have to login locally to make changes to account permissions and where user data is stored on your machine. Not this one.

    World of Warcraft Community Site
    Blizzard Downloads

    Your mom can change your game schedules from her desk at work because she manages the account--and your gaming schedule is stored server side. Basically, you would need to get a keylogger to crack the parental control panel if you can't get her to change it or turn the controls off. The only way to control your game time is to manage every aspect of the account privileges yourself, so splitting the account to pay for your own toons is the most expedient solution to the problem.

    Parental controls don't lock you out of the game in the conventional fashion, and they don't shut down the app. They prevent you from accessing the servers. The only local user files you have are things such as personalized settings (keybindings, bar setups) and information for your addons--and I think a recent patch has made it so that keybindings and bar modifications that use Blizz's interface (and not an addon) are stored server side as well.

    A friend of mine from eons ago knew that this addiction was scary stuff, so he had a friend in game set his parental controls and keep the pword. Sad but true.
