WOWGOLDPIG.COM: THIS TIME I’M NOT DRUNK Plus Where Did This Little Mushroom Spring From? (1/5)
Okay, kiddies, this time I am 100% sober.
Let me just explain my previous post: I was at a New Year’s gathering with old friends (all WoW players, mind you) and at one point (when we were all close to getting inebriated) we started talking about my blogsite and how they got a kick out of it…then one of them said "you gotta do WoWGoldPig, man!"
Now I thought he was being funny and I thought the name was funny - nay, hysterical! - and my tequila-addled brain released some chemicals that gave me the case of the schoolgirl giggles. At least that’s what I remember: me ROFL’ing over the name WoWGoldPig. And next thing I knew I was in my own apartment typing a post on WoWGoldPig right after checking out their site.
And then I passed out.
So anyway, what the heck is WoWGoldPig.com ?
Turns out it’s a site that sells WoW gold and only WoW gold. Now I don’t know what the genius who thought of the site name was on when it hit him like a bolt of lightning to call the site WoWGoldPig, but hey, whatever that was, I want some.
Kidding.
My curiosity is piqued. Why the name? Maybe customer service could give a proper explanation?
Let’s check out the sight together, shall we?
Here’s the landing page:

Man, you just gotta love their copy:
DIRT CHEAP WOW GOLD. REAL FAST DELIVERY. No Ads. No B.S.
WE SPEAK HARDCORE WORLD OF WARCRAFT GAMING, NOT CHINESE. — Lol!!!!!
CHEAP WOW GOLD DELIVERED AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. NO RUNAROUND, NO EXCUSES.
IF YOU’RE A WOW GOLD PIG TOO, REGISTER HERE . IF YOU WANT B.S. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Love the ‘tude, dudes. Love it.
Hmm, price updates and newsletters? Maybe next time, hombres. *oinks back*
Now where’s that customer service link?
Ah, yes!
Wait a minute….
Oh come on, I can’t speak to a customer service rep unless I have an order???
Sheesh.
Man, I need to know why they named the site WoWGoldPig! It’s a question that’s close to killing me!
Grrrrrr.
Okay, fine, I’m ordering, dang you! If only to give me peace. You sprung up from nowhere and yet you’re already gnawing away at me. Dang you!
But first, gotta ask Cletus or Remus to pay for the order.

WoWGoldPig.com - a site name that is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the world.

Weird name. I hope they won’t have a weird service, too. I’ll try this one. Will let you know if their service is good.

Starting to dislike these gold pig fellas
This is my second purchase. I am going on 168 hours no delivery. I am pretty sure they have gotten in over their heads. I do not reccommend. Not until they take care of their backlog anyway. First time was about 48-50 hours. About twice as long as the 24 hour promise. But 168, yes that is 7 days, a whole week of waiting and emails and crap. Dont stop at this pigpen.

Well I ordered 2k worth of gold from wowgoldpig.com based on how happy everyone seemed.
Well were rolling 36 hours and still No gold, No responce to my email, No phone call and not even No sorry were running low on gold.
I will be sure to keep you updated on what happens and IF i ever receive my gold.
Guess them being cheap means i got what i paid for!
I will not be shopping here again!
I will never buy form anyone but IGE.com again.

I’m sad to hear that Antimurloc. I suspect that there’s a high demand on your server, well you have to contact their help support and ask for the real reason why they haven’t delivered your order yet. It happened to me once and I’m glad they took care of concern.

WOW Gold Pig can be a bit slow, I bought 3000 gold.. got it alsmot immediatly.. within two days bought another 3000 as I was so impressed with their service, and got 2000 alsmot immedialty, and 1000 4 days later.
However, I did get it, and for such a cheap price I have no complaints.

Bought 3k as a test (16/10/09), got 2k within 24 hours and the other K the next day. I am in Aus and as such I got both through the mail but I would recommend them. Will be buying another 4k or so later on tonight.

I’ve ordered from these guys twice and while I received the order both times, I have some issues -
Can these guys and others make it any less obvious that they are conducting a gold selling transaction? Whispering “This is the delivery guy.”, a level 1 toon with a name like “ziajiajs”. I’m already worried about getting banned, you’d think that if these companies wanted to stick around they would employ less telling practices of delivering the goods. The whole process of delivering gold in-game would be extremely suspicious to blizzard if blizz ever took 2 seconds to look at logs around the time you received your random charitable donation from an account where the user is logging in from China. This brings me to the other thing… I was expecting these guys to be US based. Nope. They could barely speak English beyond what was macro’d.
The whispers, the actions, where you then transferred your gold to, etc… the footprint for what a transaction might look like while purchasing gold seems like it is quite easy to pick up. What really gives the transaction away in my mind are the randomized names of the level 1 toons… the broken english & the nature of the dialogue…. Do you think Blizzard doesn’t have logs of everything being said on their servers? Every whisper around the time of an unusually large gold transaction between two characters which have no previous interactions with one another?
It is very surprising to me how people can get away with purchasing gold with any sort of frequency and continue to go undetected.
Seems like almost a myth!?
Good delivery times though =) Both under an hour for orders 1-5k.

I was a really skiddish about ordering but I tried it just now. I ordered 2000g and received within about 15 minutes. Very discreet, cheap and fast. I would recommend

just bought some gold from the PIG. Very happy with the service. They hooked it up in like a couple hours: maybe 3. Went to check the mail and BAMMM….hello gold. Their service is the bomb. No phone calls, no bad english, no bs. After i put the order in i emailed them and asked em how long it would take. They told me less than 24 hours. I can live with that. And I like the fact that they under promised and over delivered. Just quick gold. Thank you for your site, i really dig it and u turned me on to an awesome service. Please keep it coming ill be sending folks this way. For the effing Horde!!

It might be time to revisit this seller’s gold medal status.
I tried using this service based partially on your reccomendation. I made two purchases last month that went pretty seemlessly. My third transaction was not so seemless and will be my last.
I made a small order on July 2nd for 4000 gold. They took my payment and I waited for my delivery… and waited…. and waited.
After 24 hours I contacted them and they said they had supply issues, so I waited some more.
After 72 hours I recieved an email that they delivered the gold to my in game mailbox. I logged on and there was nothing there.
I replied to the email and attempted to make contact through their website. I even stated I would go to PayPal if they didn’t resolve the issue. As if trying to piss me off they replied that they really did make the delivery (honest and truly?) and they were sorry I did not get it. (How would it be possible to not get it and still have it be completed is beyond me) but out of the kindness of their hearts they would send the 3000 gold I ordered again at no extra cost.
Yup that wasn’t a typo, they said 3000. After 72 hours of waiting and being lied to (twice) about the delivery, they decided to extend a PR gesture to send me 1000 less gold than I paid for. Oh and in addition they did not say when it would be delivered. I’m currently still waiting…. again!
I’m currently logged on the character they are supposed to deliver to and if they had any customer service skills I would have at least expected to see someone offering part of the delivery right away so I don’t go disputing them with PayPal. Short of an extensive appology, some extra gold or at the very least some form of cupon code for a future order, I will not be purchasing from this seller again.

Yes, not only they are late sometimes as Kessel pointed out, (sometimes it tooks like 4 days)
but I am getting very suspicious that they are trying to hack their customers, and phishing them so they could hack their customers.
(For example, after few ‘guild drama’ happened I moved to other realm with my old-gulidies, created a pally there - used to be a rouge - and never bought a gold under that name, except pig, and then this poor lowbie pally gets spammed as hell)
Considering what got pig a gold medal and other site to be hated, I stronly believe that you should reconsider your medal.
