WoW Gold Facts

VERY interesting email from Jack of VeryGE.com’s mother company G4P (or guild4power). I don’t know whether to break out the violins and weep into my wine or chuckle.

Hi…

This is Jack in G4P company writing to you.

Um, I still don’t know how should I call you. So if you allow, I just call you buddy. Well buddy, I’m calling you buddy man. (I thought you were just calling me "buddy"? Now it’s "buddy man"? How much more male do you want me to be? - EGF) Your site (or should I call it blog) is the most funny and intellectual one that I have ever seen, I admit I haven’t browsed blog too much though. (Um, okay)

Whatever, yes, I have seen your words (and pictures) about G4P service. I found the topic there on your blog is VERYGE.COM: AN ABANDONED FACE TO FACE TRADE PLUS LIVE HELP DIES AGAIN (3/?)  Very impressed. And I really appreciate that you pointed out our limitations. We are dealing with this matter, the worker behaved badly in that service will get punished (Whoa, I hope you’re not going to behead poor Vivian!) , and we are checking our software/system as well. (Hallelujah!)

Anyway, when you meet such kind of problem which makes you unhappy just contact me, I will try my best to help it out. And when necessary, we might need you to help us to make our sites and service perfect. (Er, why not start by writing better copy. I still can’t get over the news telling WoW players to take pictures…of what?)

My msn is yoo-cindy@hotmail.com and if you use AIM- guild4power

Thanks again for your advice

Jack

Sigh……..

Okay, here is my reply:

Hi Jack,

Thanks for writing. I really appreciate your wanting to set things right. You are the first WoW gold seller I reviewed that actually acknowledged what I wrote, and instead of attacking me you took my posts as an opportunity to improve your service. I’ll give you points for that one, buddy man dude .

As mentioned in my previous post, I know it wasn’t your fault that I got booted out of the realm, but prior to that, things were already starting to get awry online. Your delivery character kept whispering for me to hurry up and I did my best to get to the meeting place as fast as possible, but he left me. And prior to all that, Vivian was acting more like a robot than a real person. And prior to THAT one, your Live Help was down and out. Look, I can let the content on your site slide. I’m not here to review your English skills. I’m here to review the quality of your service. No one’s perfect, I know, and even the best businesses experience hiccups every now and then. But hey, you know how first impressions last and these kinds of mistakes are signs of poor attention to details. I suggest you train your people like Vivian to go easy on the canned messages - customers hate robotic replies - and tell your delivery team to stop ordering customers to hurry up and get to the meeting point because flying from one zone to another takes time! It’s very aggravating to see a delivery toon disappear just when you’re inches from him! And lastly, have your IT guys do something about your live chat service. It doesn’t do your business any good when it’s more dead than live, if you know what I mean.

I hope you do work on improving your service ASAP. Will I try you again? Perhaps…if I hear or read more positive comments about your company. Then I could do a second review…hopefully one that would see me uttering not one expletive. And you could probably win a WoW Gold Facts medal like IGE , WoW Gold Pig , MySuperSales , and GamerKing . Trust me, it’s better than getting those cheesy cereal box toys.

I’ll be in touch again about my order. Good luck to you fellas.

Sincerely,

Extreme Gold Fan

P.S. Please do something about the copy that says “Igegolds”. It makes you look fraudulent, or at the very least, like a hanger-on. Build your own name, not ride the coattails of an industry player .

P.P.S. Say hi to Vivian for me.

This is not my night.

It started when I got a hold of someone from Live Help (Hallelujah!) to follow up on my order. Some chick bot named Vivian took the chat and told me four times to "plz wait one sec" ’cause she "will check it" for me. Whatever. She was about as natural and helpful as a wind-up toy monkey with the ear-grating cymbals.



See what I mean?



Isn’t that precious? She called me "dear". No one calls me dear, not even the hookers I walk past on the street.

Now here is where it gets awry.



I met their toon in the game….and he logged out!!!

AAAAGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And then, kiddies, the sour cherry on the burnt cake……

VIVIAN TERMINATED THE CHAT. AND NOT ONLY THAT……

I GOT KICKED OUT OF THE REALM!!! And when I tried to go back, I got the worst possible message known to every WoW player (and WoW gold buyer dying to get back in to complete a face-to-face trade!):

XXXXXXXXXX is Full
Position in queue: 180
Estimated time: Calculating…

Sweet Jesus.

I clicked on Live Help again to tell them to wait for me, BUT…

BUT…

BUT!!!!!!!!!!

INSTEAD OF THAT BOT CHICK VIVIAN, I GOT THIS:



@#$%!!!!!!!!! NOT AGAIN!!!

I.

AM.

NOT.

HAPPY!!!!!

Not their fault I got booted out of the server. But it’s their fault that their toon disappeared before handing me any gold! It’s their dang fault their Live help is suddenly not available!

I smell a scam, kiddies. I smell a scam.

Trying to get a hold of VeryGE’s Live Chat support was about as successful as squeezing blood from a stone.



I clicked on the Live Chat banner one more time:



No dice. switched to another browser:



Wonderful. I’m thrilled.

I’m not about to let another day pass without placing an order, just because some site’s Live Help is stuck in the underworld, waiting for someone in their IT department to resurrect it. This review needs to be done!

But since I’m kinda iffy about handing over my hard-earned money without having had some sort of interaction with them, I’m gonna hold back on the size of the order and keep it to the lowest possible dollar figure.

Now to be fair their Quick Order feature is really quick. 1, 2, 3, presto!



The Valentine promotional code worked.

Now who is itemchannel? Must look it up soon.

If VeryGE’s claim about having "mass available stock" is true - EGF, you never learn eh? - then I should receive my gold very soon, right? Their home page does say "in a short while", right?

I’m being strangely optimistic here, I’m starting to scare myself.

Time for a new review. Next on the list: VeryGE.com. Not the most imaginative name on the planet but when you’re scrambling to go live and grab a share of the RMT pie, you wouldn’t give a rat’s ass if your site name is catchy enough. Nobody will care about the name, no matter how stupid it sounds (right, OOFay?) or how it sounds like a rip-off of IGE (right, IGXE and, um, VeryGE?). The important thing is you get the job done (right, IGE?) and you don’t mislead your customers (right, Eric, I mean Wowmine?).

Let’s check out VeryGE’s site:

Still milking Valentine’s for all its worth…but whoa, it’s nearly March and they still have that New Year’s banner ad? Is the coupon code still valid? Let’s click on the banner.



WTF???? IGEGOLDS???? IGE GOLD???

Are they in any way connected or affiliated with IGE.com?? They can’t be! Their About Us page doesn’t give a lot of information but I bet Remus’ Audi that their gold is NOT IGE gold.



There is one way to dig a little deeper. Ask IGE:



Ah, sweet little Ena. Thanks for clearing the air. Now back to this IGE wannabe.

Here are snippets of their news copy:





My brain is hemorrhaging. And can someone please explain this line: “Remember that you take pictures!”. WTF? So is playing a tourist part of the game now? Should I dress up my Troll in a cap, flowered shirt and long shorts? Is that the new armor?



Eh, back to business….

How much is a thousand (Ige)gold (ha!) on my server?



$15.39. Not bad, but can be lower. Time to ask customer service what better discount they can throw my way.





Click on START CHAT….



WTF??

I try another browser and I get the same thing. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. Obviously, something is wrong on their end!

BOO! Zero points for availability. Where’s online customer support when you need it?

I’ll try again in the morning and hopefully I’ll get lucky.

I think.

I’m watching the Oscars as I type this and I’m telling myself, someday, someday, EGF, you and one of your cinematic creations are going to be in the list of nominees under the categories Best Picture and Best Director. And all the lovely people - both cast and crew - in your film will be nominated for Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Sound Editing, Best Cinematography, etc.

Speaking of Best Cinematography and all things Oscar,  I remember when I was a kid how intently I listened to my parents’ bitching up a storm about how "that overrated Dances with Wolves beat Scorcese’s brilliant Goodfellas " at the Academy Awards for Best Picture and "undeservedly scooped the other awards", prompting my dad to add this final salvo: "Maybe they should change the name ‘Best Cinematography’ to ‘Best Locations with the Most Sunsets’!!"

I swore that on behalf of Scorcese I would make it up to them by becoming the best director and screenwriter in Hollywood and that not one movie of mine will ever include a sunset scene.

That is, if I don’t catch Stupiditis Egoitus in an industry where there are more bad films than good and one’s ego can swell into Sylvester Stallone proportions, in effect killing all common sense and excellent taste. My biggest nightmare is to win a bunch of Razzies like Battlefield Earth and Showgirls , two turkeys that will forever remain the butt of jokes in the film industry.

And speaking of the Razzies, WoW Gold Facts has its own Razzie Awards, which I decided to line up just now:

Worst Bot-Operated Customer Service:  G4Air.com

Worst Human-Operated Customer Service:Gamingexe.com

Worst Face to Face Trade: Goldsoon

Worst Spam: Wowmine.com

Worst Newsletters: Wowmine.com

Worst False Advertising: Wowmine.com

Worst Web Design: Wowmine.com

Worst Web Copy: G4Air.com

Worst Copycat Design: VGHP.com

Worst Site Name:  OOfay.com

Won’t Eric Lam please come up to the stage to accept Wowmine’s WGF Razzie trophies? :D  Keep the speech short okay? And no political tirades or death threats to EGF.

Congrats, dude. This time I feel it. I really like you. You can’t deny the fact that I like you, right now, I like you.

NOT!!!!

I resumed playing playing the Dwarf Rogue last night for the No Gold Diet Challenge .

The little guy was quick to eviscerate sundry humanoids and creatures. I gotta give that to him. But it didn’t change the fact that the quests and creatures on this side of Azeroth were the most boring I have ever encountered. Why do you think I was quick to give up on Alliance? Horde rules!



And would you actually jump with glee if you get this kind of quest???

Bring back the mug to some NPC dude? WTF is so rewarding about that? How does that make me a stronger toon? Aaaarrrghh, it’s too early in the morning to be a cranky toad. In other news…

I recently finished sending my replies to an email interview that hopefully will see the light of day in an online article for a certain website focused on video games news and reviews. I don’t want to preempt anything by revealing the name of the website or the name of the journalist who interviewed me, but what I can tell you is that it’s about the deathless RMT issue.

I’m not sure when it’s coming out. I’ll post the link to my MySpace blog and of course to WoW Gold Facts when the article gets posted. Am I excited? Yeah I guess I am. Did I give the journalist my real name and location? Heck no. That would be suicide! Imagine the losers like Wowmine, THSale, Swagvault, etc finding out who I really am. They’ll hunt me down and skin me alive and sell my hide at an AH! For a few measly copper I bet. Anything to get rid of me. LOL!

Intrigued? Just be patient, kiddies. All good things come to those who wait.

I don’t recommend G4Air.com to anyone unless you’re a raving masochist.

Aaaarrrghhhh!!!!

I got my gold this evening (at the 30th-hour mark, which would have been kinda forgivable) but it wasn’t under the most relaxing circumstances.

You wanna know why and what happened?

Read the chat below. That says it all. Damn you, G4Air, you know how to drive a customer up the wall. Now excuse me while I pop a Valium.

(Note: For those who can’t see the images properly, the text version of the chat is available at the end of this post.)

So this is what transpired last night:

I decided to check on my G4Air.com order, hoping against hope that I’d have my gold before I hit the sack and I could end the review on a good note.

On a good note. Ha!

Well, guess what? It was another retarded chat with Agent 000 and his deathless canned text. Yeah you read that right. HIM AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Note: For those who are not able to see the images properly, the chat transcript is available in text version at the end of this post)





And their verifications department called! And the officer’s Chinese accent was so thick, I misheard and misunderstood  nearly everything. Our conversation went something like this:

Me: Hello?

G4Air: Herlo, dis is Gee Foh Eh, is dis you?

Me: Er, yeah it’s me.

G4Air: Oh-keh soh you oh-dehd gawd?

Me: I ordered God???

G4Air: Noh, noh, gawd. Too tao sund gawd.

Me: Oh, oh you mean 2000 gold. Yeah yeah damn it, yeah I ordered 2000 gold.

G4Air: Oh-keh wee wull dah-livah yoh gawd

Me: Wait, do I like log in now?

G4Air: Yes, noh

Me: What the hell, which one is it?

G4Air: Bah fest, you must go Nun Chuck

Me: Go to Chuck? Who’s Chuck?

G4Air: Luck Chuck

Me: Good Luck Chuck?? You mean the movie? What about it?

G4Air: LUUUUUCK CHUT

Me: The heck….

G4Air: LAAAAAAP chut

Me: Oh you mean LIVE CHAT!!

G4Air: Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh

Me: Okay, go to live chat and what? I still have your rep online with me.

G4Air: Yoo goh play and wee wull call.

Me: What the….



I want to kill him and everyone at G4Air. I really want to…



I ended the chat and waited in vain for G4Air’s second phone call that will signal the start of the trade.

No such LUUUUUUCK, kiddies. No such LUUUUUUCK.

I woke up at 4:45 this morning with a headache of Biblical proportions. I think I’m going to skip work and school today and take it easy. But first, must buy gold from G4Air.com.

After the scary delivery courtesy of Goldsoon, Remus has been lukewarm to me and is probably reciting a litany of prayers in the hopes that his account had not been compromised. Cletus won’t let me use any of his own accounts, so for this G4Air order I’m going to order for one of my toons.

God be with me.

First, the notice from G4Air.com saying "We can deliver your Gold now!"



So they may take longer than 24 hours if demand is high. Wonder how large the demand is on my server. I don’t want to wait for 24 hours, especially after Agent 000 told me during our scintilatting little chat : "if u want, we will give u right now!"  (Wonder how he is doing after I scared the living daylights out of him.)

However, they can offer me compensation if they go beyond 24 hours, and process a refund if they fail to deliver at all within 48 hours. Sounds reasonable.

Let the buying begin.

I select my server and the amount of gold I want to buy.

I am led to this page:



Who in God’s name are these people???



Do the guy and chick know they’re modeling for G4Air? I doubt it. Oh well, it’s their problem, not mine.

Yes, the deathless review-your-order-details step.



Time to pay.



WTF???

Must be the server timeout /connection thingie that messed up this PayPal page. At least my payment went through. And Nian Zhou? That the parent company or something of G4Air.com?

Eh, whatever. The waiting game begins.

Before I resume playing that Dwarf for the No Gold Diet Challenge , let me check out the site that’s next on my list. (Okay, maybe not literally next on the list; it was randomly selected in an eeny, meeny, miny, moe sort of way).

G4Air.com

A quick background check courtesy of Cletus showed that the site was created on January 9, 2008. Hmm, a relative newcomer in the RMT industry. IMHO, newcomers are quick to promise you the world in order to win your business. Retaining customers might be a different story, depending on the buyers’ experience.

Let’s give them a chance. They might even impress me!

Or maybe not….

(Click for a larger image)



It’s February. What’s up with the Christmas theme in their banner???…..

Apparently, they think Wrath of the Lich King is still something to look forward to. Check out their home page below.



This is a proofreader’s nightmare..or dream if the proofreader is a sadistic, nitpicky SOB who derives evil pleasure from magnifying the faults of others (that would be me). Apart from G4Air being stuck in December, their copywriter did a half-assed job with the text.

And look at the WoW Gold price of $1.69. It’s enough to trigger a stampede amongst desperate WoW gold buyers like me, only if you look closely that price is for 100 gold….which means 1000 gold is $16.90, and it ain’t the cheapest in the market (I know. I checked out other sites like WoW Gold Pig - their 1Kg is $15.95).

Web Statistics: Total Gold (did they mean total gold delivered or total gold in stock?): a mind-boggling 843,333,672. Mind-boggling for a relatively new site…with a crappy Alexa rank of 3,278,000. With that in mind, does anyone really buy from them?

Well, heck, I would, if only to get this new review done!

Let’s check their About Us page.



Founded in 2004? Didn’t Cletus say the site was created in 2008? And they say they don’t farm or use bots or macros to collect virtual assets. So where the hell do they get their gold??

Inquiring minds want to know. Inquiring minds should visit Live Chat.

(Note: For those who are not able to see the images properly, the chat transcript is available in text version at the end of this post)



We’re off to a fine start…NOT. I hate canned text and DETEST being asked for my paypal email when I haven’t even ordered yet. And why doesn’t the agent have a proper name? In lieu of a name, I see three zeroes! Is this a person or a bot???



I’m sure you kiddies can understand why I’m already irritated at this point.



Well, my elation sure was short-lived.



That’s what you get for making all those typos, 000. I also had to laugh out loud when he said "oh ,my god". The guy must be on commission and VERY desperate to make a sale.



I seriously needed something from the military’s cache that very second, I swear to you.



Does G4Air.com even train their customer service reps? This has got to be the most retarded chat I’ve ever engaged in.



I could sense that the poor guy was starting to fall apart. I didn’t want him to cry so….



Now what the hell was that….

Ugh! It’s past midnight! There’s no way I’m ordering now and spending the next half hour or so waiting for their toon. I’m hitting the sack. I’ll place an order in the morning after I’ve had coffee strong enough to wake up the dead. By then I’ll be ready for them.

And 000 should be ready for me.

So how was your Valentine, kiddies?

I spent mine at my folks’ townhouse where Mom and Dad hosted dinner for family and friends. As usual, I ended up fielding the same dang questions from nosy SOBs & Bs (that’s Sons of B*tches & B*tches):

"So do you have a girlfriend?" (Um, no)

"When are you going to settle down?" (Uncle Jeff, I’m only 24. I’m too young for incarceration.)

"Why Hollywood? Why not the corporate world?" (Clint Eastwood is a hundred and fifty years old and needs a successor.)

"Are you free next Friday to go on a blind date? I know someone who’s just your type!" (Does she have blonde hair and very long pointy ears? Is she resistant to magic and lame pick-up lines?)

It took my mother’s fierce persuasion and threat of disinheritance to stop me from barricading myself in the upstairs bathroom to eat my dinner in peace. Some Valentine! Would have been better spent if I had seen that remake of "Friday the 13th" instead.

Or played WoW in the quiet of my apartment.

Speaking of WoW…and Valentine…and all things irritating….

Cletus received the deathless newsletter from Wowmine.com, with the subject heading: "$16 for 1000g, specail (sic) offer for this Valentine, take it away now!" (Yup, opting out still ain’t working for the dude).



Cheesy image. Check.

Retarded code. Check.

Misleading offer. Check.

Classic Wowmine!

55% extra WoW Gold with coupon code: VDUU

VDUU??? Venereal Disease….oh yeah Valentine’s Day! Silly me!

Love Is In The Air, Get Most Wanted Truesilver Shafted Arrow!

Shafted arrow. How phallic. How suitable to the occasion, Wowmine.

When love is in the air, how can you refuse to possess Truesilver Shafted Arrow, summoning Kwee Q. Peddlefeet at your wish forever?

Cletus said kissing this butt-ugly NPC just to get an HP Buff was the equivalent of getting frisked by Vernon Troyer.

…buy WoW gold with coupon code on this page before 15th, Feb, you are likely to be one of the 20 lucky dogs! Come on, go get it now!

Dogs??? Yo, yo, yo, what’s with the lame Randy Jackson-inspired call?  (Disclaimer: I am not a fan of that karaoke monster show where there are more abominations than in Dante’s Inferno)

But Go FETCH I did, just to check out the prices and the code.



Two things about the promo:

1. They actually did tack on an extra 55% gold for the 1000g, but trying ordering anything higher than 1000g and the bonus gold will be capped at 1000g (goodbye 55% extra!). Go check it out.

2. Whatever happened to the subject heading "$16 for 1000g". The price I saw was $38.61.

LOL. Wowmine does it again. Eric my man (or woman), you say there is no such thing as bad publicity? Okay, I’ll do you the habitual favor of exposing your lies to the gold-buying public. :D  In turn, you’ll be doing me a favor by giving me something to write about (and make fun of) in between reviews. It’ll make for a symbiotic relationship in the dirt-ridden RMT review pond, wouldn’t you agree?

Here’s to a great week ahead!

I can forgive WoW gold sellers who go just slightly above the 24-hour ETA. My standards aren’t exactly Draconian. I know when to give leeway.

What I can’t forgive is some retarded person behind a delivery toon who, instead of using whisper, mentions that he is from Goldsoon AND mentions my (in this case, Remus’) toon in the same breath.

For everyone to see.

It took all my willpower not to have cardiac arrest at that moment.

Prior to that little scene in-game, I visited Goldsoon’s Live help and got some agent named Katrina.





"sorry i am not sure now, maybe 1-2 hours, if you don’t receive the gold then, we will trade with you next time." - Could Katrina be any more apathetic?



And after that sarcastic spiel, guess what she suddenly said?



"The gold is ready." My, my. Aren’t we fast ( or is it SOON?) And it didn’t take a refund request to donkey-kick them into getting it delivered.

Unfortunately, it didn’t go so well…..





"Please trust us, because we got several guys working now." - Several guys just to get this order filled??? Reminds me of that classic joke: "How many blondes does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"



My heart was in my throat when I finally logged out. I didn’t dare look at the chat log. I was afraid I’d see a barrage of anti-RMT messages, never mind anti-Goldsoon messages which I think Goldsoon deserves.

Which one of those "several guys", nay, SEVERAL IDIOTS forgot to use whisper? The idea of beating him with a red-hot poker has just dawned on me.

Their website says in crappy English: "SAFETY: As you known, it is the safety that is the most important point when we choose to buy the gold from website." - Well, amigos, your toon dude probably got too excited, or he left his brains at home, when he didn’t use whisper. You call that safe? I call that careless and idiotic.  Now if Remus’ account gets compromised…

OMG. I don’t know what else to say except…

Remus, if you get flagged, blame it on the guy who doesn’t speak English, okay?

This review is over.

"Remus, my man, how are you?"

"Are you calling to borrow money from me again?"

"No, I’m calling to let you know I have a Valentine present for you."

"You have any idea how gay you sound?"

"Takes one to know one."

"Seriously, to what do I owe the honor of this phone call?"

"Do you have the gold?"

"WHAT GOLD?"

Uh oh.

Egad, he should have it by now. We’re nearing the 24-hour mark. Cletus swore the Goldsoon rep told him that they had stock. They’re supposed to be "the SOONEST  gold sellers in China". 20 hours and counting ain’t exactly "soon", hombres.

Is it going to take another hissy-fit on Live chat to get the Goldsoon people to move their asses?

Aaaarrgghhhh….

I told Remus about ordering 1000g for his toon just to test how safe Goldsoon’s delivery was.

"So if Blizzard spots the transaction, I’M THE ONE who gets banned, right?" Picture Remus’ veins popping out. It ain’t a pretty sight. Last time I saw him morphing from Jekyll to Hyde was when a beer truck sideswiped his Audi and nearly got me, him and Cletus hurt.

I was driving then. And using my cellphone.

"Remus, you have more WoW accounts than Madoff has lawsuits. Can you log in and check your toon’s mail, please?"

He said he didn’t have time to do it now but I could go "check the hell it out myself" and to my shock he gave me his account name and password.Then hung up.

Will wonders never cease?

I guess they just have because the gold is NOT in the mail.

Soonest delivery, yeah right. Crappy English and false claims all rolled into one. If I yell "REFUND!" or "CHARGEBACK!" will Goldsoon do something about it? Maybe. But this lack of initiative will not earn them a WGF medal. Why should I award someone who won’t budge unless Extreme Gold Fan - or any paying customer for that matter - invades live help to complain?

Ugh. Let me just eat my dinner. Then I’ll pay Goldsoon’s Live Help a friendly visit.

"I read your post and checked them out," said Cletus as he poked his head in my refrigerator looking for leftovers.

"You checked out who?" I muttered, hoping he would choose the three-day old eggplant with rice over the day-old lasagna.

"Goldsoon. They told you they didn’t have any gold in stock but when I asked their rep if they had gold he said yes."

"WHAT?!"

"And I asked like just a few hours after you saved that post."

Well, it sure took them way less than 24 hours to farm. That’s good news to me. I can get on with this review.

"Let go of that lasagna," I growled.

"I’ll duel you for it. Or we can roll for it."

"One more lame quip like that and I will have you arrested."

———————————————————————————

Kiddies, it’s time to buy some gold! For sure, Remus will be very happy to get 3000g.



$65.79????

@#$%ing highway robbery!!!

Er, Remus will be very happy to get 1000g.



Note : you noticed how they love the word "soon"? Getting to be OTT, don’t you think?

I’ll have the 1Kg sent to his sissy girl Alliance character.

Good thing I’m prosperous these days; even managed to pay back my sis in the nick of time before she could perform a sex change on me.





I appreciate that Goldsoon wants me to double and triple check all my details before going to PayPal. Though I’d honestly prefer the process to be quicker.

Time to pay.



Hermes Digital Technology Co Limited???

Eh, if I feel a kernel of doubt about this whole thing, it’s too late to back out. They have my money, now they better give me, um, Remus his gold. They’ve got 24 hours.

I’ve decided to review Goldsoon.com after all. But since I’m a little iffy about the safety of their transactions and I don’t want my account compromised, I’ll just have the gold sent to Remus’ toon.

As a Valentine’s present.

He’ll say it’s so gay.  I’ll just tell him it takes one to know one.

But first, to test Goldsoon’s customer service. I visit their Live Chat and get some dude who has the audacity to call himself Arthas.

(Note: For the benefit of those who can’t see the images, the chat transcript in text is at the end of this post)





Hmm, we’re off to a lousy start. Not paying attention to what I type. I hate that.



Eh, that sucks. I’ll just have the gold sent to Remus’ Alliance toon then. With 18,266 farming studios (a city by itself if stationed in one area), it would be retarded to NOT have stock at all on all servers.



Hysterical and unbelievable indeed. And may I add: retarded.



I have the feeling this guy is eager to get rid of me. I hate that too



Well that was disappointing! I was hoping to order and receive my gold SOON. But looks like I’ll have to order much LATER. *smirks*

Tomorrow is another day, kiddies. Don’t lose hope.
