A WoW account buy review

3rd February 2010

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!

World of Warcraft is a pretty great hobby and really appeals to people of all ages. I know since I’ve started I’ve gotten at least 3 friends hooked on it and shown countless others. For many of the people I show buying an account to get to the end-game content is a great option, but sadly there arn’t many places where they’re able to go and get unbiased reviews on the different wow account selling outlets to help them make their decision about where to buy a wow account.

I’ve personally purchased two accounts and I know both times it was a very stressful and trying experience. The overall objective/goal of this blog is to research, test, interivew past buyers, and monitor some of the bigger names in wow accounts and present that information to you; someone who’s looking to buy a wow account. To kick start the blog on good note I’ll highlight a company I purchased from previously; Toonstorm.

Now believe me I was just as worried as the next guy about Toonstorm scamming me when I bought my first account. All you hear is horror stories about these chinese companies who have horrible service and do whatever they can to get your money and abandon you. Luckily for me that was not the case at Toonstorm. When I went to their buy wow account page there was, of course, a pretty good selection and a live chat button which was the first thing I checked out. After about 5 minutes of chattin with the CS rep about the method and level of security they use in handling the accounts I was convinced. I made a purchase and within an hour I had a fresh account and the character on it as promised. Since then I’ve talked to several people who have not been so lucky.

Thanks Toonstorm for treating me right!

I’ll get some statistics up and an official review of some large wow account sites very soon! Thanks for reading and keep comming back!
