Well, here we are. A new year and all that jazz.

My uncle is finally home from overseas which is really awesome. He got home about 2 weeks ago and has finally settled in enough to get into wow again. He made a new toon to test drive for a few, just to get the feel for it back, then we got down to serious business.

We spent a little time trying to decide just what he wanted to play. In the end, he decided he’d like to have a shaman. He just liked the idea of the elemental build.

Next, we started shopping around. This took a little while, because we were looking for the best deal. We’d settled on a place before logging off for the night that looked pretty good. Unfortunately, when we came back to it the next day, it had disappeared. We got lucky and dodged a scam on that one. So, from there we hit my old fallback: Toonstorm. He found a great shammy for $220, level 80 with great equipment. By great equipment, I mean GREAT equipment! Fifteen freakin’ epics! I couldn’t believe the amount of gear this guy came loaded with. And for only 220!

Obviously, he was sold on the idea, so he put that military salary to work. From there, we just hung out while we waited for an email. I got to take him on a little tour of WotLK to help get him acquainted with the terrain again.

About an hour later, we checked and there was the email. We took the new account out for a test drive, and it was amazing. After he got used to the new build, we got a few others together and made a stab at the Lich King. Good times were had by all.

So, in brief, Toonstorm came through for us again. The price was outstanding, the speed of delivery was insanely fast, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen my uncle so happy playing wow. With all of the great gear and abilities, he’s like a kid in a candy shop. You know, if candy shops were staffed by the undead and sold epic level gear.

Anyway, we got a great review on where to buy wow accounts.

Catch you later!
