Another Tips on how to Buy Diablo 3 Accounts Safely



Well, I had a little snag when i was going to buy Diablo 3 accounts last week so i could post a review for you all. Turns out someone had hacked my bank’s servers and compromised everybody’s debit cards. So, I won’t be able to do any buying of my own until the new card gets here next week.

Thankfully, a friend of mine had been planning on making a buy and he agreed to let me tag along for the ride. He hadn’t decided where he was going to buy from yet, but he had narrowed it down to a few sites. After looking the prices and delivery times over, he was still pretty unsure what was going to be the best deal.

I suggested he take a look at each place’s reputation by searching their site in google. That way, he could look at some basic reviews of each place before deciding. He finally whittled it down to one of two places, but they both looked pretty good. The determining factor ended up being that one of the places was located in the US instead of overseas, and that just made him feel a little more comfortable.


Funny thing is, he had stumbled on the same site I had a while back. That’s right, he was buying from Toonstorm.com . While this doesn’t help with the diversity of reviews I have, it does highlight the fact that it’s a great place to buy highlevel diablo 3 accounts for sale. Anyway, he placed an order for 5 accounts because he had some expensive upgrades in mind. He waited a few minutes, then hopped into live chat to find out when it was going to be ready. The rep there said that he could log in and find it in about 30 minutes.

He logged in right away so that he could get a few things in his inventory reorganized while he waited. About 20 minutes later he got a tell! From there, he met with the delivery boy /demon/whatever-you-want-to-call-it, and was immediately had to boast his 5 high level characters!

So, here’s another account of Toonstorm.com pulling through and a satisfied customer.

Buying Aion Accounts for Dummies


I just hope I don’t get sued for that title.

Hey everybody, I hope you’re all having the same lovely weather I am here. It’s been gorgeous, and the call of the wild is almost as strong as the call to play Aion these days.

Aion has really been picking up steam in the last few months, and the sub list just keeps on growing. A lot of newbies are finding their way into our world, which makes me really happy. More subs means more content down the road.

Some of these guys are MMO vets, some are complete newbs. The first group know the score, but the second… well, they make me a little nervous. People are less patient today, which is why there’s an industry that lets us buy Aion account instead of grinding for it. But if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can get in tons of trouble and pull others down with you. That’s why I’m going to share some tips today to help you keep that account.

First and foremost please, for the love of whatever you hold holy, keep your mouth shut about buying an account. Every MMO out there has a group of people dedicated to rooting out and banning EULA violators and Aion is no exception. Talking about it in open chat is a pure n00b move that will get you nailed ASAP. And that’s not just by the mods. Other players who take the game a little too seriously are more than happy to report you.

Another thing that people don’t think about is just how safe their transaction is. The last thing I need is to have some dimwit trying to drop off my buy while essentially shouting out to the world what he’s doing. That’s why I shop at places that carry a money-back guarantee. Check the one at Toonstorm if you need a good example. Sites that carry one are Billy Mays approved and do what they can so that you don’t get nailed. Otherwise, they lose money on the deal.

Last but not least, keep your amounts in line with what a character of your level would be making. Don’t be buying billions of kinah if you’re only level 12. It looks fishy, and that’s just the sort of thing that raises red flags all over the place. Safely buy Aion accounts!

Another New in buying Aion accounts Safely



Well, I knew it would happen eventually, but I was hoping I wouldn’t have to share one of these this early on.

I’ve mentioned scammers and such before, and in truth they aren’t that common. In this day and age it’s hard to pull off a scam over the internet because there are so many consumer protections in place. Credit cards have protections against identity theft, Paypal is an amazingly secure little place to do transaction, and some companies are even putting in scam protection for ebay shoppers and the like. Good, legitimate sites, no matter what you’re buying will take plenty of steps to make sure that you’re well taken care of and have nothing to worry about. Even sites like Amazon.com, who are just the **30** for variety places,are really anal about the people they work with.

We’re in a special category of that sort of thing, though. There’s no official support for what we do, so if anything happens to our money, we’re mostly on our own. NCSoft certainly won’t be helping us out. That means we have to use whatever else we have at our disposal to keep safe. Well, someone I know pretty well through Aion wasn’t thinking along these lines last week when he decided to buy Aion account from a site he’d found.

Those of you who have been paying attention the last couple of posts will love this: it was the first site he found when he searched for a place to buy, he didn’t take any time to read any reviews or do any other sort of research, and they asked for a money order instead of anything else.

Another tip-off should have been their claims. They were talking Aion accounts for $15, which just doesn’t have an equivalent in the market. There is no way you can convince me that was legit, but I’m an old hand at this.

So he hopped on and set up the buy, then sent a money order away. They said he’d hear from them in 2 days to confirm his character name and set up the drop. Over the next 2 days, he got tons of emails, but none of them had anything to do with buy Aion accounts. To this day there’s been no further contact, and the site itself has been shut down, so it’s going to be impossible to trace.

Please, please, please be careful out there. Stay safe until next time.

Some Tips in Buying WoW Accounts


Hey out there everybody!
Last time I told you about a nasty experience a friend of mine had getting scammed by a bogus site. It got me thinking that I should help you guys identify some of the legit and scam sites out there so that you can avoid the same fate.
These are just hints and tips that i keep in mind when I’m out making a buy.
First and foremost, I try to spend my money locally. No I don’t mean go buy wow accounts down at the local coffee shop. I mean try to keep the transactions within the same country your servers are located. If you’re in Korea, buy from Korea. Where I’m in the us, I only buy from US sites. This can sometimes be hard to determine, but usually sites will have an About Us link where they can make a big deal out of being US based.
Another thing that i won’t do without is a money-back guarantee. Some sites don’t bother with these, but the best sites, Accounts.net  always have and will. We kinda take these for granted in the age of Billy Mays (rest his noisy soul), but they mean that the company is willing to put their money where their mouth is to protect you.}
Another major thing to pay attention to is how they want you to make payments. If a place claims to not use Paypal or credit cards for “safety reason”, they’re full of it. They just don’t want that kind of payment because consumers have recourse to get their money back that way. While Western Union is a fine company, my buddy learned that it’s best to not do business over the net that way.
A final thing to watch out for is outside reviews. Before you commit to a site, look them up at places like toonstorm. Good companies are ranked there toonstorm, and you can be sure that any place that warrants that kind of attention has established themselves enough to be legit.
That’s all for this time. Next time I’ll share a few tips on things that will help keep you safe from the GMs after you’ve bought your buy wow accounts. Until then, take it easy!.
