WoW Gold Facts

Hey kidddies, in case you didn’t notice, I’d been away…celebrating my birthday!!!

It was one of the most awesome birthday gigs of my life. I….

- hosted a party (to end all parties) at my place (only this year, the cops didn’t show up! hooray!)

- hosted a little preview of my documentary to select people, who loved it, even in it’s rough state

- received a stack of moolah envelopes from both sets of grandparents (I love you all!)

- Stormed Stormwind just for the heck of it

And because it’s tradition, Cletus and Remus gave me a "Happy Birthday to My Darling Niece" card with a $100 bill. (Last year the card said "Happy Birthday to a Wonderful Aunt")

As my own tradition dictates, I threw the card and kept the money.

I also have a new job.

I also met this great girl at my birthday party.

She plays WoW!!!

Unfortunately she plays Alliance.

But she’s proof that opposites attract.

And good thing she’s not on any of my PvP realms. I’d hate to kill her before I could even get to first base.

In other news, I came back to a bunch of spam and hateful messages (as usual), but I refuse to let that get me down. Oh, as usual one of them slammed me for "ruining the game by buying gold and encouraging others to buy gold".

Guys, you know what my stand is on the whole RMT issue. I refuse to play the part of the broken record by constantly expressing my opinion. Sometimes I’m just too tired to fight, you know? (All that debating takes me away from my gaming). I’ll respect your opinion but only if you express it in a civilized manner. Otherwise, I’m blocking you pronto. Oh, and if you’re such a  savage hater of RMT, why visit my blog? If you think I’m such an insignificant being, why read my posts? You’re obviously at the wrong site. Go to another site that won’t raise your blood pressure, okay? Oh, I also don’t appreciate you attacking my family, especially by calling my mother unmentionable names.  Do that again and I swear I will hunt you down, lock you up in a basement for the rest of your natural life and feed you nothing but gruel and make you listen to the following (torturous, IMHO ) songs playing ON AN ENDLESS LOOP - all guaranteed to drive you to insanity and, in the most extreme scenario, take your own life:

1.    Crank That (Soulja Boy) - Soulja Boy

2.    Wannabe - Spice Girls

3.    A Man and a Woman - Ray Conniff

4.    My Humps - Black Eyed Peas

5.    Loving You - Minnie Riperton

6.    I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

7.   Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus

8.   Climb Every Mountain - by that old nun chick from the Sound of Music

9.    The entire soundtrack of High School Musical 1, 2 and 3

10. Every @#$%ing song by Air Supply

Now hobble back to Dun Morogh, children. And be good!

WoWTreasures.com, because your rocked my order, you get an Honorable Mention Plaque from Extreme Gold Fan. Keep up the good work!

But again, this is STILL NOT the plaque I want for my Honorable Mention awardees:

Dear Cletus, you are my best friend and I think you’re a great guy but your plaque designing skills suck. Meet me at Jack’s Coffee on Saturday, 9 AM to discuss a better design and copy for the plaque. You are embarrassing me. - EGF

P.S.  Don’t be late!

P.P.S. I’m not paying for your breakfast.

In a matter of minutes, Christian said.

If I’m lucky, that is.

Well, do I feel lucky…punk?

Indeed, this morning I still considered myself very lucky.  :)  Seems Lady Fortune has taken pity on me and has decided to give me another break.

Here’s what happened to this happy camper:

Espresso. Toast.

Completed a quest that required little effort, brain and zero killing. All I had to do was deliver a message to someone ’cause phones haven’t been invented yet in Azeroth and people don’t want to use carrier pigeons.

Kept a watch on the clock. Waited for the phone to ring, thinking they’d have to authenticate my order first. But no one called and the first hour mark had gone by.

Kissed the "in a matter of minutes" delivery goodbye and braced myself for "in a matter of 24 hours or so" waiting for my gold.

Went AFK ’cause I had to make a phone call and do a few other things and then…



Why the hell does the delivery toon’s whisper come in JUST WHEN I AM AFK??? It’s a conspiracy! Good thing I was quick to spot the pink text and grabbed the mouse before he could give up on me and log off.



Guess Ratchet is the new Orgrimmar for the Horde side…unless it’s also the meeting place for Allies. Well, it’s neutral territory…

I told him I needed a few minutes to get there and he waited near the bank. When I got there, I whispered "hi, it’s me" but he didn’t reply. So I had to jump up amd down and /dance to catch his attention. How’s THAT for subtlety?

He told me "sorry, had to go bathroom". Ugh, like I needed to know that one!

As expected, I was invited to trade with him. It was, as all trades go, quick and easy. Then he left.

I got my gold.

Two hours and 17 minutes after I placed that order. 

Good job, WoWTreasures. Good job. You do the small league proud!

/clap

This calls for another plaque!

To be continued.

So after my very, very strong coffee this morning (Juan Valdez is my savior), I placed an order at WoWTreasures.com.

The lone "Delivery Type" below puzzled me:



Didn’t Christian the rep say that they can do face-to-face trade if they see that the customer is online?

Then in the next step, the Delivery Type changes to Guaranteed Delivery, with a note echoing Christian’s response. Now I’m confused.



Anyway, I made a payment…



And Atlas Technology Group, Inc. rings a bell once more, and if memory serves me well, someone told me it’s an independent payment processor for e-commerce companies. Well, they sure get around in these parts!



"On the rare occasion your order is late, we will add 5% FREE GOLD to your order for every 24 hours it is late." - Woohoo! Please be, uh, slightly late just this once. Kidding.

"Write a testimonial" - Dudes, this review is enough testimonial should you impress me!

I went back to my conversation with Christian, who told me in textbook-fashion: "Typically, 90% of our orders get filled within a maximum of 24 hours. On some orders, we fill orders in a matter of minutes."

Hmm, he did say the demand on my server was manageable.

Well, what if they actually delivered "in a matter of minutes"?

Let’s give it a shot.

I logged into my toon, made another espresso and some toast, and waited, hoping that a miracle just might occur “in a matter of minutes”.

Alright, new week, new review! Let’s get right to it!

Our new victim subject: WoWTreasures.com.



Okay, so it sells other types of game currency, and I’ll never know how good they are in delivering the other kind of stuff. But all we care about is how good they are in getting us our WoW gold on time, right?

"Since 1998 UO Treasures has been the the top online site for all of your gaming needs. Launching UOTreasures.com in 1998, we were one of the first sites to offer Ultima Online gaming items" - Guess that was their old name. Who among you kids played Ultima Online back in the day?



Dudes, they’re clearly old news. Your home page needs to be updated!



LOL! I can’t believe one of the most frequently asked questions they get is "What is a MMORPG?" .  Come on!!!!!!

"Some people want to use their money to buy the latest Britney Spears album, some want to enhance their gaming experience" - There are actually people out there who still dig Britney??

"25,000 positive feedbacks on ebay" - If I get lucky with my purchase, my positive feedback will be #25,001. Mind-boggling…

"The only thing you can get banned for is having another person powerlevel your account" - Any power-leveling companies out there who wanna comment on this one?

Let’s go to Live Help.





Sheesh, he didn’t have to use up the entire library at once…it was a simple question.



Textbook chat. I just bored myself. Or maybe my insomnia is just about to leave me…

/yawn

Well, Christian did his job and I got the answers to my usual questions, standard as they may be. I’ll place an order but first, I need coffee strong enough to blast Ironforge into rubble.

Baaaaaack!!!

Out of town filming was a sweet success. I’ll leave the rest of the dirty stuff to my capable crew while I recuperate. I can feel a cold coming on and I’m nursing a headache.

But not so bad as to prevent me from blogging at three in the morning, ha!

I see that good ol’ Cletus hasn’t come up with a new plaque and an Honorable Mention section. Must take out horse whip.

But to his credit, he took care of all the spam!

I have a new review in the works. It’s another small-league gold seller, recommended by reader Daphne P. who said she had a positive experience with them. First installment of the review coming up VERY SOON.

And let me just reply to reader Tom’s comment : "No offense taken, but why all the gnome hate!?"

Tom, that is a very good question, which deserves a litany of very good answers:

1. I didn’t always hate gnomes. But 99% of my ganking deaths were courtesy of gnomes.

2. More humiliating: 75% of those ganking deaths were courtesy of pig-tailed female gnomes.

3. Those pig-tailed female gnomes often came in bunches to attack my helpless toon. Imagine a troll who’s minding his own business suddenly getting pounced upon by a bunch of walking piñ atas. Not a very dignified way to die, I must say.

4. I witnessed Thrall get killed twice - by an all-gnome raiding party. It was horrible. We didn’t know what hit us. They snuck in with all the stealth from hell. Cletus said someone must’ve forgotten to lock the pet door to Orgrimmar.

5. It must be pure rotten luck, but every "/chicken" taunt I got from the opposing faction was ALWAYS from a gnome.

And believe me, I take "/chicken" taunts PERSONALLY!
