Now you know what to get!
27th November 2010
Okay, everyone. We’ve all had time to get used to the whole 4.0.3 patch now so I think we’ve seen just what it is that’s needed out there. From what I’ve been able to observe, if you ever have trouble getting into a raid, dungeon, or any other instance, bring a tank. Tanks are getting really scarce right now, and everyone wants one. Nerfing healers has put these guys up at the top of the most desirable list, and we have the chance to capitalize on this.
If you have been wanting to buy wow accounts, now you know exactly what to go for. Especially if you have a healer who is now pretty much a door stop. Pals are taking the lead on the healing game right now from what I’ve been able to figure out. These serious revamps really make it hard to figure out just what’s going to be useful and what should sit in the scrap pile for a while.
Anyway, beefing up a tank would be in your best interests if you want to get into a group any time soon.
Thankfully, Toonstorm always has a really good selection of them available with some nice alts in case you get bored with the tanking. And who knows just what’s going to happen when the full expansion comes? There could be more nerfs, more buffs, or something even weirder planned. It’s hard to say with Blizzard. I know they’ve been announcing all sorts of things about Cataclysm for, well, forever really. But I get the feeling that they have something else that they aren’t telling us yet. Some sort of hidden ace that will have us all drooling yet again. They are tricky like that, after all.
Anyway, prices are going to get a little ugly shortly, especially for tanks. On the other hand, they’re dropping like mad for healer classes, and it’s no big deal to get one of them on the cheap, then respec it. If, that is, you can find a use for a priest right now.
Good luck with that.
Can we buy it? Yes we can!
30th October 2010
More and more hype out there these days. With Cataclysm’s launch date finally announced there has been a lot of speculation on what all of this is going to mean to everyone out there. The new patch really gave us an idea of what to expect, though. Usually that much nerf means that foam factories will be running dry around the world. And the healing classes are the ones to take the brunt of it, too! Not quite sure what that’s all about, but it really revamps the way teams are going to have to play the game.
The good news is that the prices on priests and shammies should start coming down a bit. In fact, a buddy of mine decided to snag a priest so that he’d have it for when the new build is figured out a little better. I pointed him over to Toonstorm for some awesome deals on accounts since I know that they’ll have what he’s after.
He found a combo that he really liked, too. An Undead Holy Priest carrying some good gear (some Naxx, some Ulduar, all epics), all for $157. He was really pleased with the deal, especially since it usually runs $454. He’d budgeted about $450 for the whole thing, so he thought he’d look around. That’s when he realized he could get a couple of alts with his priest. If he picked up a Blood Elf Pally and an Orc DK he’d get the whole thing for $354! He’d get everything he wanted, plus two alts, and still be under budget by almost $100! Not bad at all.
He registered an account with them and confirmed the order with the rep. That’s when he realized he had no idea just how this was going to work. Thankfully, the rep was there to hold his hand through the whole process. They got him lined up and transfered all of the info to him without a hitch. They even threw in a free name change to get him started in getting used to the toon.
He was really happy with everything that had happened. The new toon took a little tweaking to match his style of play (and those stinking nerfs), but soon it was ready to roll and he was out having a good time.
To the Echo Isles, mon!
30th September 2010
Not much news in WoW these days. Brewfest is still going on, but that’s about as good as it gets for the moment. Nothing in there is worth buying account for.
The Gnomeregan and Echo Isles, now, that’s a different matter entirely.
Both of them are essentially the same thing. You’re trying to take back some lands within your respective faction’s borders that have been taken over by a splinter group of some sort. It looks like they’ve designed it for people of all levels, but you know the best stuff is for the 80s. I mean, really, do you think you’re going to be taking on the best bosses at 35? Not likely. And the best rewards are for the higher level folk, too.
Given that, you may want to buy wow account sooner rather than later. Who knows what Cataclysm will do to this little campaign, after all? No sense missing out if you don’t have to.
With that in mind, I’m going to take a look see at prices at my current favorite site. Toonstorm has been rocking out deals on the combo accounts lately that really can’t be beat.
For example, I’ve been looking at one set with alts that really captured my attention. It has three 80s in it, one Draenei Death Knight (blood build), one Draenei Shaman (restoration), and one Night Elf Rogue (assassination). I have to say that I really like the variety it offers. It would make me that much more useful to my guild because we have some irregular players right now and we never know just who or what we’re going to have available for any given raid. Knowing that, I know I would just feel better if there were enough people hanging out who could fill any gap. I’m experienced enough to play any of these classes and builds without too much time relearning them.
Besides, the price is insane. All three accounts, if you buy them together, runs only $419! That’s hundreds off the prices of each individual character! And they have great deals on Horde alts, too.
I would really check it out ASAP. I doubt they’ll stick around for long.
What are you waiting for? Get a move on!
30th August 2010
If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, I mean buy wow account. If you have any intention of doing so you’ll really want to get it done well before Cataclysm drops. I say this for a number of reasons.
First and foremost prices always go nuts around release dates. While we don’t yet know when the big C is coming out, we know it can’t be too far off. They’ve already been beta testing and we’ve seen the box art. Not much other than the actual content remains to be announced. This is what Blizzcon will be all about this year. SC 2 is already on shelves (or was anyway, seeing as it took almost a week before the local stores were able to restock) and Diablo III is so far into the future it is only barely on my radar. That means they’re going to focus very closely on WoW, which makes me really pleased. But after it’s announced you know that prices for accounts will start to spike pretty sharply around that time. It’s better to get one (or 3 if you’re smart and take Toonstorm’s deal where you get discounts for alts) now while prices are still low to moderate. Just before and after relase date things will get ugly.
Flip side to that is that the new races won’t be represented on any site for a while after release. Your other option is to buy wow account after you start seeing them show up.
Or really you could do both so you can take advantage of the new content while later enjoying the goodies that the new races bring to the table.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Blizzard doesn’t much like anyone making money on WoW that isn’t Blizzard. They may decide to put in a few little tweaks that allow them to hunt down anyone who buys an account. While I can’t off the top of my head think of a way to do this, that doesn’t mean it can’t be done.
Most of the time I’m not worried about this. As long as I’m buying from a well established site that comes with all sorts of guarantees I can’t imagine anything happening. Those jokers on Craigslist and eBay are another matter entirely. They’re probably licking their chops about this right now, but don’t be pulled into their promises. It just isn’t worth the risk.
It’s creeping up on us. Do you have a level 80 yet?
29th July 2010
You all know what I’m talking about. This new content, the Ruby Sanctum, includes plenty of references to ol’ Deathwing and his twilight brood. And if you’ve been reading the website as frequently as I do, you’ll know that Deathwing himself features prominently in Cataclysm.
That, of course is the word on every WoW player’s lips right now. They’ve already started beta testing the thing, which means that a release date announcement can’t be too far behind. If you need a reason to buy wow account, there you have it.
Of course, when you’re a major player like Blizzard who runs their own convention, you have the leisure of waiting until said con to dish the info. Based on the new content and timing, I’d say that this Blizzcon will see the announcement of the release date. Furthermore, I figure we’re looking at sometime before Black Friday for the release.
The devs, if they’re like any other programmers or content writers that I’ve met, don’t really care when it releases, just so long as their baby is out and running. The bean counters are another matter. They aren’t interested in the eager panting of the fans, et cetera. They’re looking for the thing to have the biggest financial impact, and in the world of video games, that means holiday season.
People are always a little flush with money that they’ve been saving for the holidays, and they know what’s on evey WoW player’s list this year. Or will be if it’s announced. Just like when SC2 was released this week, they see just how many people will line up to buy it in stores and download it, no matter the cost.
Of course, we’d do this if they released the stupid thing in May, too. These guys have 11 million people hooked harder than crack cocaine ever could hope to. I’m just not sure why they think they’ll maximize on it if they wait. We’ll pay no matter when it comes out. Period.
But the good news is this means you have plenty of time to buy wow account so that you’re ready. The level cap is being raised, and you’ll be that much closer to 85 if you’re starting at 80. Plus we all know prices will spike around release time, so it’s better to buy wow account and then hold it in reserve until you’re ready. That way you’ll at least have it.
Yet another round of content for you to buy accounts for
30th June 2010
Just when you think that they’ve run out of ideas…
There are two really noteworthy things that I’m going to talk about today. The first one you can buy wow account to access, the second you can’t. Both of them are way too important to not mention.
The first is the new content that they dropped with the 3.3.5 patch. They’ve opened up a brand new raid dungeon for us to play around in. The official details are a little sparse right now, but the new area is called the Ruby Sanctum, and it promises wonderous riches to all who would brave its dangers. The story is pretty cool, too. Basically, the red dragonflight was in charge of a sort of UN of dragons, keeping the peace, and trying to preserve life in Azeroth. Suddenly, the Ruby Sanctum, their headquarters, is completely silent and no one has been able to contact them via any means. Guardposts are empty, and the hearth fires have died out. Just what waits inside is still a bit of a mystery, but it’s going to be more than worth the while to play it through. After all, the fate of the last clutch of red dragon eggs hangs in the balance inside, and we all know that where there’s dragons, there’s treasure.
The second big piece of news is that the Cataclysm beta has gone live! Obviously it wouldn’t be wise to buy an account then attempt to get in on it, but it would be seriously cool to get in on the next chapter of WoW before retail release. Actually, it’s impossible to get in on it unless you get an invite from Blizzard themselves. It’s opt-in only, and you don’t get to pick. Here’s hoping that some of my faithful readers get the notice and can jump in. Post a comment if there’s any inside info that you can share with me! I know, NDAs are a bear, but there have to some ways to get a little bit of info out.
Anyway, if you don’t have a level 80 yet, now may be the time to buy wow account so that you’re ready both for the content already launched, and for the good things to come. The end of a world doesn’t come along every day, after all. You don’t want to miss out when it hits.
A new feature so you can get the most for your money
30th May 2010
Hey everyone!
I just thought I’d drop a line to you all since it’s been a while.
Not much new out there in WoW land. It seems that even the folks over at Blizzard get to take a break every so often. After all of the patches lately, I really wasn’t sure when things were going to slow down. I get a little uncomfortable whenever there are tons and tons of sweeping changes in the game like that. There are lots of reasons for this, but a few extra in particular for folks who buy wow account.
When you get down to it, the account market is a liquid beast. It shifts and flows, reacting to every little change that comes along. When the new IC runs were loaded, prices spiked. During lulls like the one we’re in now, prices have a chance to come down a bit as companies are only competing against each other, instead of dwindling stock.
Now is also the time when great deals start showing up. Different sites deal with these things in different ways, but I think the folks at Toonstorm have had the best idea.
Basically, they’re offering bundled pricing on toons and alts together. For example, the first one that comes up is a level 80 human Death Knight. She comes with her Flying skill at 225, and a piece of epic gear for $124. In and of itself, this is a pretty awesome deal. But to add to it, you can throw in an alt on the same new account and CD key. They give you a selection of a level 80 Night Elf Druid for an additional $242.90 (about $50 off the regular price), a level 80 human Pally for $178.90 (also about $50 off), or a level 75 Night Elf Hunter for $75.90 (again about a $50 discount). Or, you can go for the gold and buy the primary with all alts for an additional $239 which is half price. So $363 snags you 4 distinct toons all on the same CD key saving you tons of money on that, plus you get a truly awesome setup. The Druid alone has 2 skills maxed at 450 and the full set of Malfurions gear. Myself, I’d be looking into this for me if I didn’t already have a decent druid.
Anyway, head over to Toonstorm and check out the deals. They’re pretty sweet.
An update with reasons to buy a new account
21st April 2010
Hey out there. I’m happy to say that I have better news this time around. No more gloomy, at least for now.
As we all know the newest patch went live a few weeks ago, and 3.3.3 is making a huge difference in the PVP world. One major change is the reward for honorable kills. I’m all about these, myself, and now that the honor bonus has been bumped to 200% I’m really stoked.
The other thing that will affect anyone looking to buy wow account is the new Random battlegrounds option in PvP. It’s restricted to level 80, which means your trusty 75 DPS won’t make the cut, but if you pick up a new account you’ll have a great time of it. Basically, you get in the queue and when your group comes up, you get dropped into a completely random field (like the name implies). This means no time to prep or plan a strategy, you just go in as is and hope for the best. The real upside is that you get some serious bonuses if you take on the randomness. I haven’t had the pleasure yet, but I’m looking forward to the chance.
The other changes were all pretty minor. Ranges for buffs have been increased to 100 yards, which is a nice little change for those parties that get spread out (like mine usually do). They’ve also tweaked some of the powers and boss abilities for balance purposes. Same old, same old.
Another great piece of news is that they’ve opened up the registration for the Arena Tournament. There’s an exclusive title for the winner(s), and a neat pet you can win, too. The qualifier should be later this month, but they may have to move it out a little depending.
Of course, your bought accounts don’t do you any good here since you make a level 80 at the time, but it’s still a good romp.
Now, the best news is that the announcements haven’t had much of an effect on account prices. Even so, I have to recommend that you stick with safe sites that you know, like Toonstorm since there will be a lot of scam sites that crop up.
Take it easy and keep safe out there
Be cautious when you’re buying accounts
30th March 2010
I was afraid this would happen one day. I’m not the sort that likes to report bad news, but I heard something recently that I have to share.
I don’t know this person myself, but he’s a friend of a friend from another state. He had really been enjoying the new instances with his guild, but they’d lost their shaman recently. He decided he’d step up and fill the gap since another player had a good DPS that could replace his already. Plus, he likes the idea of the shaman, so it really seemed like a good time to try it out.
Of course, the thought of running a new toon up to 80 was a little daunting. He’d heard from his friend on my end about buying accounts being a good way to make that change without having to make your guild babysit you until you’ve leveled. He had some income at his disposal and figured he’d give that a go.
Problem is he’d never done any sort of research on that sort of thing before. He didn’t know any of the safe sites to buy wow account from. So he just went with one of the first ones he found figuring they were all the same.
He found out the hard way that they aren’t. He was told it would take about 2 weeks to get his account. That’s not unheard of if they’re still finishing it off and need the time to get it prepped. However, something that should have tipped him off right away was that they wanted a money order instead of a credit card. In fact they were quite insistent on not using credit cards or even Western Union.
Two weeks go by and he hasn’t heard anything from them, but he figured they were just keeping it quiet for safety’s sake. But the account never showed up. He tried to send an email through the site, but it was returned as undeliverable. About 2 days later the site was taken down by the host. Turns out it was a scam the whole time.
The moral of the story is to make sure you do your homework when you’re buying accounts. Only shop at safe sites like Toonstorm.
Some refresher points on buying wow accounts safely
24th February 2010
Hey everybody. I hope you’re all having fun with the latest 3.3 build. It’s keeping everyone around here running all over the place. Now that the actual Lich King battle is released, you’d be amazed at how many people here are wanting to buy WoW account. They just don’t want to wait that long to try it out.
With that in mind, I figured a refresher was in order on what to do to avoid being scammed or banned when buying an account. The last thing anyone needs is to lose tons of cash or find themselves banned from WoW outright. It just puts a serious kink in everyone’s mood.
Here are some of the best tips I can give you:
First, only deal with trusted, reliable places. Yeah, you can find accounts on eBay or craigslist at rock bottom prices, but there are absolutely no guarantees with them. How can you hold somebody accountable if they can just fade away after you’ve sent the money? Craigslist is especially bad for this. Stick with sites that are acredited by the BBB and other such services.
Second, always always always look for a money-back guarantee. These things are the best insurance you can have, because it means the site is taking extra pains to avoid any problems with the transaction. I’ve only seen these a few places (Toonstorm most noticably) and I’ll never point anyone to a site that won’t carry one.
Third, look for live people. It’s one thing to complete a transaction via email, but a site that’s willing to put you in touch with live human beings shows that they care that much more. Besides, email addys can be made and abandoned with ease, and there won’t be a paper trail to follow if that’s all you’re working with.
Last but not least, don’t do anything that will draw attention to your purchased account. Don’t use it to buy gold or powerlevel further if you decide you wanted an 80 instead of a 70. Too much of that kind of activity on an account is a huge red flag for GMs.
So, there you have it. I hope this info helps some of you newbies out there avoid the pitfalls of account buying
