WoW Gold Facts

This is going to be a quick post since I’m not in the condition to launch into a full-scale dissertation on the economics in WoW. Believe it or not, I haven’t recovered yet from our obscene Chuck Norris birthday celebration where there was more beer than food and, very strangely, Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection morphed into Dungeon of Desire on the screen (I don’t recall getting any where near the DVD player and switching discs, I swear!).

Anyway I’m still in a fog but I just HAVE to reply (no matter how briefly) to reader XionX’s comment which reads:

"Losers buy gold…way to screw up the in game economy douchbag…Its people like you that are the reason level 5 green items are going for 30g…"

Kid, you forget that the game is controlled by real people who go by the same economic principles in the real world. Even if you take away RMT sites and WoW gold buyers from the equation, prices are still going to increase and people are still going to farm WoW gold in obscene amounts.You’ve got supply and demand. You think that there IS such a thing as a free lunch in the virtual world? Try having another think, buddy.

On a side note, whether in real life or in WoW, there will always be the haves and the have nots, the schemers and the dealers, and the worker bees and the slackers. It sucks, yeah, but like I said, there are real people behind the game, and you can’t control the different personalities who have different goals. But our toons are far luckier than we are — no crappy economy can derail their ability to improve their lot in virtual life. Sooner or later, as you spend more hours (yeah, the key words are MORE HOURS) playing and earning those nifty drops, you’ll go from a "have-not" to a big-cheese have….which isn’t exactly the same guarantee always in real life. So relax, there’s no way anyone in the game can stop you from prospering and acquiring the stuff you need and want.

Not even the most rabid gold buyer.

Relax, okay? Now let’s smoke a peace pipe before I hit the sack.

Happy 69th Birthday to the guy who made WoW what it is today and who taught me that….

…REAL MEN play Horde

…REAL MEN don’t feel the need to play attractive characters to pick up pretty chick toons in the game because in-game pickups are for losers who don’t have much of a love life/sex life outside the game (*cough* Cletus *cough*)

…REAL MEN play ugly toons with pride

…REAL MEN enter Ragefire Chasm alone (I swear I kicked RFC butts by my lonesome…..as a level 35 Hunter with a badass pet)

…REAL MEN don’t go around asking other toons to spare them a gold or two because….

…REAL MEN buy WoW gold, NOT BEG FOR IT!

Now excuse me for it’s time to celebrate the man’s awesome existence. Beer, chicken and beef jerky are calling my name.

Dear Paul, Eric, Vic, Tracy, Gwen, Art and Stef,

Thanks for forwarding me the atrocious spam promotional newsletters you received from various WoW gold sellers. Um, I’m grateful and I don’t know where to start. But be assured I will check all of them out and I hope they’re NOT connected with gold sellers I’ve already reviewed.

To the other readers, don’t be shy! Send your spam newsletters to me so I can have a good laugh.

Best,

EGF

P.S. My favorite newsletter is the one with the "Economic Stimulus" coupon. As Cletus charmingly put it: ‘Why the @#$% would I stimulate another country’s economy? I’d rather stimulate something or someone else!"

P.P.S. Ain’t he a virile young man?

Kiddies, I owe you a new review but this time, you let me know which WoW gold seller I should review! To heck with the backlog in my list, I wanna do something different by involving you in the next slaughter, I mean, review.

Email your suggestions to  wowgoldfacts@rocketmail.com ASAP.

So how was your weekend?

Cheers,

EGF

P.S. No spam please, for the love of everything that is good and holy.

P.P.S. Please do not recommend sites that were already reviewed.

P.P.S. I hate my Dwarf Rogue toon.

P.P.P.S. Don’t forget that Chuck Norris’ birthday is on Tuesday!!!

Here I go again with the Dwarf. Just to refresh your memory, I accepted Remus’ challenge to roll a new toon - a Dwarf Rogue at that - and level it to 80 WITHOUT buying a single piece of gold from any RMT site.

Have any of you kiddies placed bets on when I’ll choke and cry uncle?

Anyway, here’s a rundown of my latest gaming:

I needed to collect 4 chunks of boar meat and 2 thick bear furs for the quest Stocking Jetsteam.

I got killed by a crag boar.



I got my butt kicked by a young black bear and I died again.





The drop rate is horrible for this stupid quest. And I keep getting killed. I have lousy armor. I have no grace even while on stealth.



Drop rate is just as bad for the quest The Grizzled Den. I took down Wendigos for half an hour and still had only 2 Wendigo Manes to my name. After another 15 minutes of zero drops, I was ready to let fly at something and knew it was time to call it a night.



I lost a good deal of money having my armor repaired repeatedly.



I’m down to 4 silver 98 copper. This bites!!!

The only thing I enjoyed? Beating a Gnome Rogue who challenged me to a duel. (Sorry no screenshots but it’s true!)

Always a great feeling to kick Gnome derriere.

You all know how I HAAAAATE copycats. You all know what I think of websites that BLATANTLY rip off another site’s design and copy.

You also know how I detest Wowmine with a passion and a machete (and how they hate me in return, but like I give a flying f*ck!).

Wowmine is a mine of lies, WE ALL KNOW THAT.

Just when I thought they couldn’t sink any lower, they just hit Marianas Trench-bottom with this latest stunt:

(Click for a larger image)



Who the hell is WoW Gold Hog, you ask? Well, lemme ask you: what’s creepy about the image, kiddies?

Hint?

You remember the first gold seller I reviewed at the beginning of this year? WoW Gold PIG?



Yeah, that’s the real McCoy. That’s the real porker. And the Pig is ballistic. He emailed me from his personal email add and he was mad as hell Chuck Norris.



Can’t say I blame him. I’d be pissed if someone got a domain name that’s sooooo close to my own domain name, ripped off the site design and copy — OBVIOUSLY done deliberately and maliciously and in order to route the Pig’s customers to their own copypig copycat site! And when I asked Cletus to investigate this abomination, he quickly reported back to me uttering the words "Wowmine, dude. It’s Wowmine’s site. Your whipping boy has done it again. They’ve done the impossible: even Chuck Norris is shocked . WoW Gold Hog’s McAfee and Verisign badges are FAKE . They sure know how to play dirty, the bastards."

MOTHER@#$%ER ASS SPELUNKER!!! were the three words that hit me like a bolt of lightning.

"Yeah I know, my sentiments exactly," Cletus said. "Those brothers behind Wowmine make scam artists like Bernard Madoff look like a choir boy."

"Brothers? What brothers?" I sputtered. "Oh right, Marat and Sade."

"Who?"

I switched my reference to something more low-brow and contemporary. "Lyle and Erik Menendez."

"I thought his brother’s name is Gordon."

"You know what? Forget it! But thanks for your help!"

"You’re welcome. Now what’s the Pig going to do about this?"

"I don’t know. Let’s just wait and see how this all plays out."

"Should we call Chuck Norris for help?"

Hmm, that’s not a bad idea.

********************************************
UPDATE!!! MORE DETAILS!!!

Sorry, kiddies, but Cletus forced me to add the images below at the last minute, if only to substantiate his findings. I don’t mind though. I’m grateful to him for finding all this dirt PLUS finally updating the medal roster!!!

Anyway, the screenshots are from Who.IS. If you go that site and look up wowgoldpig.com and wowgoldhog.com, you’ll see the registration details AND you’ll see that the Pig came first before the Hog. Ha!

This is the Pig’s….



The Pig’s domain name was created in November 2008.

And then this is the Hog’s…



The Hog’s was created in February 2009. And lookit the address: 501 Silverside Road. Cough cough. Rings a bell? Read my post about the whole WoWMine scam and that address for more tales of thievery.

So the question “who copied who?” shouldn’t even be asked in the first place.

Lastly, thanks to reader Clysta for sharing in the comments section the transcript of her chat with that Hog agent. You rock!

WoW kiddies, pencil this date on your calendar: March 10. It’s Chuck Norris’ 69th birthday.



Chuck Norris jokes are alive and well in the Barrens chat. Otherwise, Chuck will roundhouse kick all of us to Kingdom come. After all, no one disses The Chuck. No one stops talking about him. And no one forgets his birthday! He ain’t gonna be 69 (what a number) again, folks. This is a milestone we can’t afford to miss.

Because it’s tradition, Cletus, Remus and I are going to celebrate Chuck Norris’ birthday by hanging out in Cletus’ apartment, dusting off his secret stash of Chuck Norris DVDs and having a movie marathon while eating Chuck Norris-inspired food - ya know, food with attitude like beef jerky and BBQ chicken.

Hail Chuck Norris! Chuck Norris is WoW!

I’m not saying anything new here but hell, no wonder RMT still can’t get any respect in these parts….





Yes, kiddies, in-game spam via whisper.  Happened this evening.

I was playing one of my lowbies, submerged underwater with my pet while waiting for that Isha Awak - the Barrens’ answer to the Loch Ness monster -to respawn.

Then I got that whisper (I’m not really good at keeping track of all the players I’ve chatted and grouped with in the game and thought it was someone from a friendly past) and acknowledged him/her/it.

"We have 18784g on this server now and we can do instant delivery.want to buy gold today?this is jody from wowsogood."

No, NOT SO GOOD , little Miss Spammer. I do not buy WoW gold from sellers that spam in the game! People like you have no shame! (Hey, that rhymes!) You are so effing lame! Go to hell, you silly dame! (I could be the next Vanilla Ice!).

People, if you get a whisper like this, don’t stop at ignore. Report the idiot to the GM. Then put it in your black list and tell your pals not to buy from this site. The world doesn’t need another fly-by-night scammer and the sooner it goes out of business, the better!

I’ve never felt this important. *sniffs*

(Click for a larger image)



"To be honest, you are the first man who pointed our limitations which we have not noticed before. Our manger (manger??) is very glad that there is one person smart like you (YES! Someone finally acknowledged that I’m smart!) to help us develop our service. He ask me to leave his Email to you, so that when you find other problems you can let the leader know, and we could deal with it at the first moment.

Here is his Email address: 687230@QQ.com

Call him ASH

Best regards,

Jack"

Sounds like a Mission: Impossible message. Good thing it didn’t self-destruct after 10 seconds.

Jack my man, thanks for the email. I must say your Customer Retention is pretty impressive (short of groveling even). However, don’t rely on my feedback alone to help improve your services. You have other customers whose comments equally matter and I’m sure they wouldn’t mind sharing their thoughts with you. I’m posting your message on this site for all and sundry to see and read, so they can get in touch with ASH the big guy himself.

I have just one question: why use numbers for the email username? It looks so impersonal, even prison-like if you will. Does ASH wear an orange jumpsuit by any chance? Why do I suddenly feel like baking him a cake with a file in it?

I wish you guys and your company well. I’ll check you out later to see any progress you will have made.

And before I end this post, I would like to reply to the other emails I received whose common denominator was this question: what’s your real name?

People, for security reasons my real name is NOT for public consumption. My real name isn’t crucial to your existence or the nation’s future. It’s not as critical as needing to know who really killed JFK. Suffice to say my real name is nowhere near as interesting as this young dude’s:



Let’s hope he doesn’t hate his parents.

Good night.
