MRWOWGOLD.COM: ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO PROVE YOURSELF? (1/?)

Still trying to shake off the anger triggered by those death threats written ostensibly by a MyGameSale person .  Didn’t tell my GF or anyone in the fam about it. Cletus and Remus are livid. What they said about the whole thing is unprintable and might trigger readers - especially those of Oriental descent - to play the race card. Best not to quote them.

Anyway, I should get on with my life and forget about MyGameSale AND the humilation I experienced at Cletus’ Halloween party, which had a Pop-and-Rock-Star motif. In case you’re wondering what exactly happened, well, the party was the final step for me to earn my GF’s forgiveness. Two purses and a pair of French designer shoes that cost more than my rent apparently weren’t enough to get back into her good books. Her final demand?

"We’re going to Cletus’ Pop-and-Rock-Star party."

"I thought that was a given," I said. I had already planned my costume in mind; I was going as Nigel Tufnel, the lead guitarist in the mockumentary film This is Spinal Tap (my favorite cult flick and guilty pleasure). I was going to suggest that she dress up as Joan Jett or Pat Benatar.

She smiled sweetly. "Yes, of course, and I was thinking that you and I show up at the party as David Bowie and Iman."

I nodded. "That’s cool, I like David Bowie."

"Me as David Bowie. You Iman." She grinned savagely.

Um, so yeah….

Anyway, back to the review.

Kids, meet Mr WoW Gold:

MrWoWGold home page

We Are Mr.WoW Gold — Uh huh.

Mr is Our Website Name.Means Best Mr<right> wow gold shop in the world. — Right.

Our Store is 4S Service.

1S is Safe Checking Out.
2S is Saving Your Money.
3S is As Soon As Possible Delivery.
4S is a Sweet Shopping Experience.
— Copy FTW!

The rest of the copy is dominated by gaming tips, which I don’t care for.

However, this little passage startled me. I mean, WTF is this copy doing on a gold-selling site???

MrWoWGold anti-RMT copy

Making gold in Warcraft is not nearly as hard as most beginners make it out to be. You just need to have the right strategies. Some players even stoop so low as to buy WoW gold - which is of course illegal. Don’t do it. It takes the fun out of the game, it’s unfair and it can get you banned. Now, go and make some gold.

ROFLMAO!!!!!

Jesus H. Christ, who’s the genius in charge of the site’s copy? Does he even read what he slaps on in there? Maybe my question should read: does he even read the copy he lifts and pastes on their website?

I needed to talk to someone ASAP so I clicked on the Live Chat banner.

Twice.

Thrice.

Then repeatedly till I lost count.

What the…

Nothing.

I disabled my pop-up blocker so the chat window would show up.

But still nothing.

Their About page was useless. It merely contained the same silly copy about their 4S service. No helpful info about the company whatsoever. I’m getting the impression that this site was put up way too hastily for the sake of going live and earning a few dollars ASAP, quality be damned.

I tried reaching Live Chat again after 10 minutes but to no success.

But their buy page works at least:

MrWoWGold Buy Page

"Only $0 per 10000 g ! (US WOW) — No sh*t!

"We currently have 48233 hot Gold available on this Server." — Pretty amazing info considering I haven’t even selected a dang server yet.

1.This is a professional USA wow gold store! It designed for wow players (What is wow?) who want to save time on farming wow gold. — You don’t know what WoW is? Pathetic.

2.We supply cheap USA wow gold, USA wow powerleveling, fast delivery, 24/7 online service. — Your live chat ain’t 24/7. I just tested it.

3.Please character your name, and then click PayPal buttom to buy the safe USA wow gold or wow powerleveling. After you pay successfully, please contact our live chat asap, we need to confirm your account state (member or not, skill levels), and tell you about our gold farming or transfer process, then calculate how many to finish the order. —
I tell ya Live Chat ain’t live now. And why the hell do you need to know my skill levels?

4. Don’t give your wow account to anyone else either. We will never ask for your password with any reasons after delivery. — Orly?

5. Any problem please contact our 24/7 online support. — Sigh.

As for their prices…

MrWoWGold Bonus Gold

Look at that. 10% bonus gold for each block. Awesome. MrWowGold is da man!

Not going to mull over it; I’m taking the risk!

To be continued.

WARNING: ANOTHER FAKE BLIZZARD EMAIL OFFERING “CATACLYSM ALPHA TEST”

Thanks, Zayda, for forwarding me the latest trick up those scammers’ sleeves. And, kids, just an FYI: Blizz is NOT conducting any type of testing for the upcoming expansion.

Watch out for the email below. If you get it, please forward it to hacks@blizzard.com

————————-

From: noreplyeu@blizzard.com

World of Warcraft - Cataclysm™ Alpha Test

You have been selected to participate in the alpha test of World of Warcraft®: Cataclysm™. Welcome!

In the alpha test you’ll get an opportunity to test the first changes of Azeroth, and the new levels above 80. We look forward to your feedback on the overall experience, including quests, monsters, zones, aesthetics, and more. We would also appreciate reports on any bugs you may encounter. These can be logged using the /bug command explained below.

Getting started:

In order to participate in the alpha test, you must upgrade an existing retail account that has been upgraded with Wrath of the Lich King, allowing you to connect to the Cataclysm™ test realms. The World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King game client that you use must be patched up to version 3.1.2 or later in order to install the alpha test client.

Go to http://www.wow-europe.com/cataclysm/ and follow the detailed, step-by-step instructions to begin playing the World of Warcraft - Cataclysm Alpha.

Please be prepared to enter the current retail World of Warcraft account name and password you use, and the appropriate alpha code listed below to authenticate your eligibility to connect to the Cataclysm test realms. To participate in the beta tests, you must have a valid retail Battle.net account active and in good standing as of August 15, 2009.

Below is a beta code that will allow you to upgrade a Battle.net account to be eligible for the Cataclysm alpha test. Each alpha code can be used only once to upgrade an active retail World of Warcraft account.

Please retain this email for your records. If you experience any issues setting up the alpha account or accessing the test realms, please email Billing Support at wowalphabilling@blizzard.com.

Sending us feedback:

Typing /bug in chat will open an error reporting interface, and we encourage you to use it any time you encounter a problem or want to send us a suggestion.

HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A CHINESE GOLD SELLER SLAMMED: MYGAMESALE, IS THAT REALLY YOU?

Tsk, tsk.

Time I show you kids what neat stuff those Chinese sellers are made of:

MyGameSale threat-1

MyGameSale threat-2

"I would like to bar you kill, rape your wife, rape your mother, kill your father" — What’s bar you kill? Oh so you wanna rape my loved ones and kill my father? Go ahead. Give it a shot, you f*cktard chink. You just try touching them and I will personally annihilate your own family. The Chinese government will even thank me for keeping their nation’s population down.

"Let wowgoldfacts.com Go to hell! Let GOOGLE all the people killed were truck!" — What the f*ck does that mean? Go learn English or better yet, as my girlfriend charmingly puts it, go drown yourself.

"God will curse you." — That’s really big coming from someone who commits the shameless sin of defrauding innocent customers. Oh, I didn’t know you believed in God. I thought you people now worshiped at the altar of rampant scamming and capitalism (I can understand how years of Communist rule must have really deprived you).

"FOUCK YOU! FOUCK google! FOUCK YOU wowgoldfacts!" — Dude, it’s spelled F-U-C-K! Dang, you need to learn to spell your cuss words right! And Google, what say you about getting dragged into this?

"Can you tell the address (3x)" — Too much opium? What are you trying to say here, buddy boy? Drugs can kill, ya know. Drop the stuff.

Wait, on second thought, since drugs kill, you might as well continue taking them.

"Can you tell the address? I have to kill you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" — Been taking writing lessons at Kanye University, eh?

MyGameSale, I know I didn’t write the most glowing review about your company (and that is the understatement of the century) and I can understand if you hate me so, but do you hate me enough to write such a barbaric email? Is it part of your corporate culture to respond to bad reviews in such a manner?

Lemme guess: you’ll deny having anything to do with that email. You’ll probably say something like, "someone is trying to ruin us", or I made it all up.

Whatever, pal.

I’m giving you the chance to respond to this post. Hey, maybe a competitor of yours DID write that email.

But if one of you did, and ya ain’t denying it…

Well….

FOUCK YOU TOO!

P.S. I think I now know why the sender is also cursing Google. MyGameSale no longer appears when you Google for “wow gold”. Tough luck.
