More on buying wow accounts

20th January 2010

Evening everyone!

I keep saying it, but sometimes running a business isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I was going to post this about 6 hours ago, but I just couldn’t find the time. I really wanted to let you all know just how the purchase I mentioned last time worked out.

Well, here’s the skinny: The guy placed the order in my shop so that I could write about it. He hopped on Toonstorm at about 10 this morning. He went for a bare bones pally because it’s a little less expensive and he wanted to customize it himself.

Next, he hopped into live chat to get the details on just how the transaction would work. They let him know it would be around an hour and a half before the account was ready and that he would get an email as soon as it was.

From there we just hung around, until his email pinged him about an hour later. All of the details were there, including his new account info. We double checked all of the info just to make sure it looked good before logging in. I let him know that I’ve never had a problem with Toonstorm when I’ve wanted to buy a wow account before, but I couldn’t blame him for being careful.

From there we logged into the new account to see just how it looked. The stats were all right where they said they would be, and there was plenty of gold on the account as well. Now all he has to do is find some good gear for it that’s to his liking and he’s good to go!

He was really impressed with how fast they were able to deliver his new account to him. The price was great, too. He was glad he had held off, because the costs came down from $200 to $170 over the last month.

Next time, I think I’d like to talk a little about how to buy wow accounts safely. This is a big concern for everyone because it’s a good chunk of change to drop in this economy. No one wants to have a new account banned right after buying it.

Later!

It’s been a great month 3.1 finally came out and I and everyone I know has been living it up in Ulduar!
Something I’ve come to realize since I started this blog, and paying attention to people/characters and who’s buying wow accounts, is that different people expect and look for very different things when they buy wow account.
Case and point:!

I had a guy come into my shop earlier this week and we got to talking about wow accounts and he said he had leveled a few characters up to around 55 but was really just looking to pickup a nice decked out level 80.
So of course I mention Toonstorm to him, it’s a site we’ve suggested before and they’ve got a big selection – something he could use.
He asked me if they ever scam;
I replied; “Toonstorm Scam?” “ha!”

As ridiculous as it was to me it was a very real concern to him because he hadn’t purchased anything like that before. So I classify this guy as someone who would be interested in buying but under normal circumstances would find it very difficult to find a safe secure place to buy them. So of course I try to tailor the blog to fit the needs of people who have those generalized questions about the process and who to trust; and in fact I have shaped the blog to a large extent to cater to those people.

Now that’s just one example – I also spent 2 hours last night raiding with my guild (They’re local so we shoot the poop afterwards normally) and found out afterwards that 2 of the guys have gone through a few different accounts and are regulars at buying – and they look for a whole different set of criteria than the first guy! These guys are pro’s and totally know who’s safe and who isn’t. They have a few sites they frequent and specifically look for specs and builds that they think they’d enjoy playing and when the price seems right they snatch the account up. These guys might be a little to advanced for me to try and make this blog appeal to them but it’d be exciting to write about. The point is I realized there’s a few different types of wow account buyers and in the future I’m going to be trying to expand the scope of the blog to include some other aspects other than purchasing safely, ie purchasing safely and cheaply, purchasing safely and choosing from a larger selection etc.

We’ll see how I fair!
Thanks for ready and stay tuned for the next one!

Hello everyone and welcome to the buy wow account blog!

We’ve really been gaming it up here, WoTLK is as good or better than everyone expected, if a Blizz Dev ever reads this blog – hats off to you sir/madam – hats…off!

I had one of my regulars come in last night saying he has been wanting to trade from horde to alliance for some time now (I guess on his server its pretty lop-sidded right now). Anyway, after about 30 minutes of chatting and mentioning the blog he decided to buy an account and test out the process for us!

Of course once he got to reading the blog he decided to go with a site we reviewed a while ago, but that was safe and easy – I guess I can’t blame him.

He’s decided to buy a lvl 80 character from Toonstorm.

Upon purchasing I have found something very unique about how toonstorm transfers accounts that other companies don’t do is actually transfer the character for you onto your own newly created account; making it 100% safe against chargebacks reversals etc – which take it from me is a real pain in the orc butt.

So the purchase of the new level 80 wow account is going full bore; he just made the purchase off one of the pcs here and I’m watching the process; in total it looks like it’ll take about an hour and a half to get the new account setup under his name and get it traded over safely.

Seems like a great way to do it and toonstorm is helping him through the entire process.

I’ll edit this post in a few hours and post the results – I suspect everything will go just fine.

==========================================
Ok it’s been about 2 hours now and toonstorm came through on the wow account, a totally safe secure transaction has given my regular the level 80 wow account he’s been wanting :D Thanks again toonstorm and thank you guys for reading!
