Okay, I’ve digressed too long. Time for a new review. 
Next on my list: GamerKing.com.
Cletus ordered from GamerKing.com over a year ago and had a so-so experience with them. "Yeah I got my gold but it took them 2 days to deliver. And chatting with their reps was like chatting with bots. All copy and paste answers. Makes you wonder how much they are paid to do all that CTRL+C and CTRL+V crap and if they enjoy it."
Excellent. I like messing with bot-like agents. I always enjoy testing them to see if they can survive a conversation outside the script. ;) And who knows, GamerKing’s customer support might have improved since his last order.
Let’s check out the site, shall we?

I like the layout. Not much clutter. You kiddies know how much I hate clutter in a site.
I’m surprised though to see that they’re not selling currency for a lot of games. Wonder why. They do offer accounts and power leveling but on behalf of a third party. Strange. Ah well, I have enough WoW accounts and I’m not really keen on trying power leveling, as that would mean revealing sensitive account information. And I’d much sooner eat pig feed than give those details to some power leveling dude in some far-flung nation.
"If you’re not 100% satisfied with your order, we’ll give you a full refund. Your time and money are important to us and we want to prove it." - Oh yeah? Well, you better prove it to ME, GamerKing, if you don’t want to be pegged in the same way as the other losers I reviewed. You know there’s a nice bronze medal waiting for you….and I’m just sooooooo tired of that little monkey’s face plastered on that circle!
"Here at GamerKing, the customers are king." - Which gives me the right to act like a royal brat. Love it! 
Let’s see what some of their happy customers have to say about GamerKing:
Looks like everyone’s happy. But is this for real??
"Pretty clear that the live help has to adhere to certain things they need to say to customers, but it’s understandable so they don’t give you wrong information. The agent was very helpful to the best they could be." - You mean helpful in a robotic, scripted way?
I can’t stand it. I need to find that one out for myself!
Yeah I know what you’re thinking: who the hell is Tony Manero? Oh, he’s only like the lead character in the disco flick Saturday Night Fever , which my older brother hates with a passion and a machete as the movie only serves to remind him that he was conceived inside the bathroom of Studio 54 (at least that’s what a really mean relative told him).
On to the chat…
(Note: For the benefit of those who can’t see the images, the chat transcript is available in plain text at the end of the post.)
Okay, the last line is total BS, needless to say. If there’s a search for The Ultimate White Dancer, that would be me. I can never Soul Train my way to salvation, even if the lives of my loved ones depended on it.
Check out how Blake smoothly dealt with my ridiculous remarks. Robotic is certainly NOT the word to describe him!
6000 gold. Mailbox delivery. *shudders* Not good.
Anyone with half a brain ought to be able to discern at this point that I’m just messing around but I have to give Blake MAJOR points for dealing with me professionally, politely and PATIENTLY.
I didn’t have the heart to continue TRYING to annoy him.
Service this good doesn’t deserve the jackass treatment. *slams on halo*
Okay, I’m convinced I should proceed with this review. Time to order.
=====================================================================
We will be with you very soon. Thanks for waiting!
You have been connected to Blake ..
Blake .: Thanks for contacting Gamerking.com. How may I assist you?
Tony Manero: Disco rules!
Blake .: Are you here to order currency, Tony?
Tony Manero: As a matter of fact, yes.
Blake .: Excellent! For which game and server would you like to purchase currency?
Tony Manero: WoW. Blackrock US Horde.
Blake .: How much gold would you like to buy?
Tony Manero: 6000g. That’s almost $100.
Blake .: $98.76 to be precise.
Tony Manero: That’s a lot of money. $100 could get me a white disco suit from the vintage clothing store. How often do you go to the disco, Blake?
Blake .: LOL. I’m the ultimate white dancer, Tony. I’d rather stay home than embarrass myself in public.
Tony Manero: Now that’s kind of a politically incorrect thing to say - the ultimate white dancer? is that supposed to be an insult? I’m white and I can dance!
Blake .: No, I mean I can’t dance like most people.
Tony Manero: You mean you can’t dance like our brothers from another mother?
Blake .: Sorry?
Tony Manero: I’m white and I can Soul Train into heaven, just you watch!
Blake .: I’m sure you’re a very good dancer. We can meet your order of 6000 gold, which should be filled within 24 hours.
Tony Manero: 24 hours???
Blake .: Historically, most orders are filled just under 24 hours, but I’ve seen some orders completed within a couple of hours, even in a few minutes. I
just can’t really give you a precise ETA.
Tony Manero: So I should get my gold just before the goldfish in my platform shoes die?
Blake .: I’m sorry I don’t quite follow.
Tony Manero: Never mind. How will you deliver my gold?
Blake .: If you happen to be online when delivery is about to be made, we’ll do a face-to-face trade. If you’re not, we’ll just send it to the mailbox.
Tony Manero: 6000 gold in the mail gives me the chills. What if Blizz spots that amount? I’ll get banned!
Blake .: None of our customers have ever been banned. Also, if the order is fairly large, we split the deliveries.
Tony Manero: So I can expect the gold to be sent in increments???
Blake .: Yes, Tony.
Tony Manero: What’s your sign?
Blake .: My sign?
Tony Manero: I’m a Libra. What are you?
Blake .: I’m a Pisces.
Tony Manero: What? I can’t do no Pisces! I’m single and I’m looking for a chick to disco with me. But our signs should blend like polyester and cotton!
Blake .: I see. Well, I’m lucky that my girlfriend and I are compatible. I’m sure you’ll find someone.
Tony Manero: Holy Bee Gees, you’re a dude?? I thought you were a chick!
Blake .: Would you like to place an order now, Tony?
Tony Manero: I’ll think about it, Blake. I need gold but I also need a new white suit.
Blake .: Well, should you require assistance in placing an order, feel free to contact our Live Help anytime. We’re open 24/7.
Tony Manero: I wish all the clubs were open 24/7. Sigh.
Blake .:
Tony Manero: All right, Blake. You have a good night.
Blake .: You too. Thanks for contacting Gamerking.com.
Tony Manero: Peace out!
Blake .: Bye.
Your session has ended. You may now close this window.
