Thoughts on the future

21st August 2010

So, I don’t know about the rest of you, but did it seem like Ruby Sanctum was a bit of a setup for Cataclysm? It sure felt that way to me.

This is unsurprising. The biggest, baddest, nastiest dragon to ever walk the face of Azeroth is going to be making a comeback some time in the near future (they’re beta testing! of course it’s coming soon!), so it should come as no surprise that the other dragons are going to get involved. After all, Deathwing’s kids are the notorious Twilight dragons, and no one seems to get along with them terribly well. Not that I can blame them, but something tells me that Daddy isn’t too pleased about his tots getting picked on by just about everyone. Nothing peeves a paranoid schizophrenic (read his bio and tell me you’d give a different diagnosis) like finding out his persecution complex is somewhat merited. Granted, he did bring it on himself, but he’ll never see it that way. Guess corrupted aspects of nature can be a little stubborn about those things.

Anyway, Cataclysm promises a lot. All of our favorite newbie haunts are getting a Mad Max makeover whether we like it or not (or buy the expansion for that matter), and things are only going to get worse from there.

Of course, this also means an increase in our level cap. Something for the current 80 crowd to aspire to is always nice so they leave people below them alone. Also, there will be the ususal gobs of new gear. Unfortunately, Blizzard hasn’t said much about that. They’re keeping quiet enough for me to start to wonder if I should buy gold now so I have it stockpiled, or buy gold after the release so that I know what I’m going to need.

I guess we’ll find out more at Blizzcon. I just know they’re testing and they keep dropping little tidbits that make me all the more impatient to see the finished product.

Thankfully, that should be out before year’s end. I just can’t imagine the amount of trouble they’re going to have with their servers when they try to dump the new code on it. Hopefully it goes smoothly, but you never know.

Then again this is Blizzard. I’m not too worried.

Hey there everyone!

Sorry I’ve been away for a while.  The summer months were keeping me busy outside, so I didn’t get much of a chance to play wow or check prices.  Winter has well and truly set in, though, so I’m keeping warm cuddled up to my computer.  And to think the Lich King likes this kind of weather!

Well, the 3.3.0 patch dropped yesterday, and it brought some great things with it!  New raids, new instances, and the chance to take on the Lich King himself!  Talk about a major update!

Unfortunately, with my absence it seems I’ve fallen behind the times in terms of gear.  I’ve been looking at all of the stuff that’s come available since I last updated and I’ve come to a realization:  it’s going to be summer again before I come up with enough gold to decently outfit my druid again!  I just can’t spend that much time mining and auctioning!  I’m looking to hit level 80 and tackle the big guy ASAP! 

So, it looks like I’m going to be searching for somewhere to buy wow gold to speed things along a little bit.  A basic search shows that more and more places have cropped up over the last few months.  Prices are really good right now just about everywhere, so it’s a matter of what sort of service they deliver.  Several of the places I’ve found have some really long delivery times, which doesn’t suit my needs in the least.  I think it’s time I hit up tried and true Toonstorm.com.  I’ve mentioned them here before, and their delivery times have always been fantastic, so I think they’ll get my business again. 

I think I’ll order 5000 gold this time around.  That should be enough to help with reoutfitting my Tauren and picking up any new shiny toys that have come with the patch.  The price is really reasonable, and the delivery is backed by the same guarantee that I already like.

Well, after placing the order I got a confirmation call and they told me to check for the gold in about 20 minutes.  I’m not particularly patient, so I logged in about 10 minutes later.  I had just started taking in some of the new graphics update from the patch when I got a tell!  From start to finish, I’d say it took about 20 minutes to get all the gold I needed.  Once again, Toonstorm has proven to be a great place to get some great deals on wow gold.

World of Warcraft has recently released the 3.1 patch making lots of new reasons to buy wow gold!

When a new patch comes out I’m always hesitant to buy from a source we haven’t bought from in the past - the reason being is Blizzard is always on the lookout to ban some accounts during patch time. If you deal with someone you know is safe you don’t have to worry about having your wow gold pulled back or even worse a suspension.

Only because a patch just came out and I’m short on gold I’ll go back to a name we know/trust and have purchased from many times on this blog; this site.

Right now they are selling 1000 wow gold pretty cheap at 18.34 and if the delivery speed is as fast this time as it was last time we should have it very soon.

The reason I don’t have the typical concerns when ordering from them after a patch is they are 100% U.S. based and english speaking. They have a pretty open-door policy and will answer any questions I raise about their current delivery methods. I’ve also spent a good deal of time googling them and have, in the past, seen many good things said about their delivery processes.

I’ve placed the order for 1000 gold and just got an email telling me the gold is ready and that I should log in.

I’m going that now — long que of course…Tuesday night..yippeeee lol

OK got in about 6 minutes later than I wanted but I just got a tell asking me to meet at Razor Hill.

Just arrived and am meeting now.

Great got 1000 gold and I’m on my way to OG to hit up the auction house!

That went smoothly and it looks like I’ve managed another safe wow gold transaction!

I’ll post another review here as soon as I can get out of Ulduar for more than a few hours (he he)

Be safe!

Outstanding Service!

26th February 2009

Greetings, Fellow gamers

Boy, how the time does fly when you’re having fun. I’ve been playing a good amount of WOW in recent weeks. I’ve nearly leveled my Tauren druid to 70. I’ve been planning on getting him his epic Black War Kodo as soon as he hits 70, but man, upgrading all my spells, and attempting to keep his skinning and leatherworking skills on an even level has left me broke on the gold front. I figured it was time to go WOW gold shopping again, thus bringing you another review.

For past reviews, I’ve had wonderful service from toonstorm.com. After a friend related a story to me about being unable to make a gold purchase at an unnamed shop, due to not owning a land phone line for their voice verification, I decided to test them out on that front, to see how I fared.

After creating a new account, and giving them my cell number, rather than land line, I placed my order, with a note that the phone number given was for a cell, I then sat back to wait. To my delight, within ten minutes of placing the order, I was on the phone with a very courteous CS rep, verifying my order. While on the phone, I asked about the phone number, and was told that as long as it is a valid number, and they could contact me through it, it was no issue. Concluding the conversation, the CS rep informed me that I should receive my gold within thirty minutes. I then logged into my wow account, and had the gold in less than fifteen minutes!

I am more and more impressed with the wonderful folks over at toonstorm.com each time I do business with them. Next time you’re in need of WOW gold, you really should check them out.

Hey guys, 

This week I wanted to give you a rundown of some of the mistakes people make when trying to buy WoW gold… and hopefully help you avoid some of those pitfalls that can occur. Some of this may seem obvious to you if you’re a veteran gold buyer, but much of it bears repeating anyway. And for those of you looking to buy WoW gold for the first time, it’s definitely worth a quick read. So, without further ado, the DO’s and DON’TS of gold buying:

DON’T  be fooled by outrageous claims. If it looks way too good to be true….well, you know the rest. Sites offering 1000 gold for $5 are probably out to scam you and take your money. Sad but true. Also look at their delivery time claims…..think about what is humanly possible, and then factor in server lag and make sure what they’re promising is halfway feasible. 

DO run any sites you’re interested in through a google search. Often the worst scammers will have been labeled by now and discussions and warnings will pop up in a search. There are also sites dedicated to exposing scams, try those out as well. It’s worth the extra few minutes of your time to be sure. 

DON’T send any money unless you know it’s being sent over a secure connection. I won’t go into details here, but if you’re not sure how to tell if your transaction is secure, there is plenty of information out there, just Google “how do I know my transaction is secure” or something similar. This is so important when you’re giving out your credit card number.

DO look for a money-back guarantee (such as the one offered by toonstorm.com.) Any site worth its salt will offer you a full refund or equal credit if anything goes wrong. If they can’t promise you that, don’t waste your time or risk your money.

So that’s just a few quick things to keep in mind next time you go to buy WoW gold. Wishing you best of luck and happy gaming!

‘Tis the season to be shopping, fa la la la la….Hey guys, it’s getting close to Christmas and you know what that means—time to treat yourself to a new pair of boots and that epic sword you’ve been drooling over at the AH! (Hey, you deserve it!) But the question is….where to buy WoW gold safely, and for a good price? There are a lot of scammers out there to be sure, promising speedy delivery and secure money handling, but who can you trust? We wouldn’t want any of you to get left out in the cold when you purchase your WoW gold this Christmas, so here’s some advice: we are always testing new services, but one that has come through consistently for us in the past is Toonstorm.com. Give them a try if you’re looking to buy WoW gold. And with their prices, you might even be able to get your friends something nice too. Maybe.

11 Million players now enjoy World of Warcraft - Man..I remember when it hit 5 million and I thought that was a lot haha.

I was browing a bit today and I found a few funny videos that have been released since WoWTlK came out; This first one is a play on the Soprano’s Series:

 

Very funny but I think it’s a distant second to the Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne’s WoW Tlk Video:

 

Now that the pleasantries are over lets talk about what we do best here; and that is give you the tools you need to quickly and safely buy wow gold.

We’ve already previewed a website gotten some pretty good results. This week I want to test out a BIG order. This is one of the busiest times in the game, for wow gold, and just for playing or hell even logging in. I think testing a website out now and making sure that they can successfully do a delivery under pressure will give me the best insight I’m going to get about any wow gold selling website out there. With that in mind I want to test out Toonstorm with a 20,000 wow gold order.
I’m going to place it and pick it up on my Death Knight (Hey don’t say anything haha)

Heading to the site and using the VIP Code we got from a friend.

The code is: VIPONLY

This code will give us 5% off any purchase - and on 20,000 we’re talking about some big money back. Ok order has been placed here at exactly 11:55 AM. I’m also logging in and going to run a quick quest while I wait.

Ok 12:05 - I actually got a tell in the middle of the quest asking if I can meet up; that was very quick.
12:15 - Ok ran to town and met up with a high level char who had my full amount - wooho! Ok no more questing and time to shop now.

Thanks for reading guys and again we’ve had another successful wow gold purchase :D

Thanks to Toonstorm.com for giving me a safe place to buy wow gold.
