...because two months later, you get scammed out of the login and $800. The joke's on me!

Doctor Dre · 08-07-2006, 11:48 AM

Why do you even waste your time on a game that addictive ?

Gunni · 08-07-2006, 11:49 AM

you bought an account for a computer game for $800?
The joke is on you!

Installer · 08-07-2006, 11:50 AM

That fucking sucks ass! I'll have to watch out for that shit.

Satan · 08-07-2006, 11:50 AM

Why the fuck would u pay 800 for a WOW account?

madawgz · 08-07-2006, 11:51 AM

why would you buy an account

is it that hard to up your skills in the game?

best thing to suggest is to contact Blizzard and let them know that that account was sold and then hijacked.. they probably won't do anything to help you (I don't think they officially agree with WoW accounts being sold) but at least maybe they can close it down so that no-one else gets scammed that way

and next time, change the login after you've purchased the account

I changed the login, even the other data on the account. But I guess there is a way to reset the password using the original account data and report it as stolen.

In wow, it's not hard to level the toons, but it's time consuming. I didn't want to spend any more time leveling, but more time having fun and pwing in battlegrounds. Well guess that's done with.

If anyone can figure out a phone number for

$800 in one shot, for a character is nothing compared to that:P

MyNameIsNobody · 08-07-2006, 12:14 PM

wow is highly addictive!! I was addicted for almost 2 years.. played about 6-7 hours every day in about 2-3 months time when it was at it's worst.. but I've quit.. just gave my account away.. could've sold it for maybe $400 but fuck it.. now I'm free!

SCORE Ralph · 08-07-2006, 12:15 PM

you got wow'ned

Pipecrew · 08-07-2006, 12:18 PM

I bought a totally epic'd out mage to go with my arsenal of now 4 epic characters. It was full netherwind, the only reason they are stealing them back now is cause of Naxx.

Anyways, the guy tried to steal it back and got it back. So I called his Mom and I explained to her (the kid is 15) that if I dont get the character back within a week, I am going to call the police in his area, sure enough I got the damn thing back in 3 days and the mom even made her son write an apology note.

To make a long story short, these kids dont think its a real transaction because its a game, even though WOW looks down on it, it is still THEFT..

If I sold you my car for 1000 dollars and 2 months later you steal it out of my driveway, you are going to JAIL.

I had two other people from the office have their accounts stolen back and I got them back as well.

Cool,

Whatever you do, make sure you DO NOT Email blizzard and explain the situation, I know it sounds crazy, but once they hear the word purchased/transfered/ebay, your account is gone for life, no way in hell you will get it back and either will he.

yeah that's why I suggested it, figured even if he couldn't get it back at least he could stop someone else from using it or selling it again

but if he CAN get it back, as you say, he DEFINITELY shouldn't let them know about it

majorbitch · 08-07-2006, 12:42 PM

Damn and I just got started playing WoW yesterday. Seriously. =\

Going from GuildWars to WoW is kinda hard though.

Bro Media - BANNED FOR LIFE · 08-07-2006, 12:46 PM

yeah, is official you suck at life and need to shoot yourself

i wouldn't even pay $800 for a top of the line console and the top 10 games to go with it... let alone a gay character in a gay virtual reality gay online gay mmmfagoprh gay game

KrisKross · 08-07-2006, 12:48 PM

You need a reason why not to drop $800 on a WoW account?

$800 only?

I think I spent close to $3k in the past year on that game. Buying shit for it gives me more time to do actual, efficient, and productive work.

08-07-2006, 12:52 PM

BTW Pipe, when are you hitting up Cbus again? I've been wanting to have a drink with you for like 3 years now.

LOL it's actually a really really good game, there are a WEALTH of activities to pursue and characters to explore

Personally I think a lot of enjoyment comes from the lead up to level 60, but some people don't have time and want to get in where the action is.

08-07-2006, 12:55 PM

Don't get me wrong, I've had other 60s in the past, in tier1 and what not.

But wanting to go through the "pleasure" to raid for 50 days in-game for good gear is nothing I can/want to do anymore.

After leveling a few chars to 60... the game totally lost interest to me. All there was left was to do guild run after guild run after guild run... god damn I would rather watch Oprah for four hours than hit up MC or BWL again. Then months after I quit I hear that in the expansion pack they are letting horde be paladins and alliance be shaman, awesome, game is as worthless to me now as it would be to a quadriplegic.
