A little while ago a friend of mine got burned out on World of Warcraft so he gave me his 60 Warrior account. I played it a bit and wasn’t really into the warrior lifestyle, so I put up on ebay a request to trade accounts… here’s a fun chat:

for the record, yes I do know that trading or selling world of warcraft accounts is against the ToS, but really it’s stupid that blizzard doesn’t put some safe methods into place to allow character account transfers. there is a huge need, not only for trading accounts between friends/family but also simply enjoying the game after you get bored with your character.

ÇÉD-T: hey, whose this

gfdgfd: you emailed me about the character trade

IÇÉD-T: ok now how do u want to do the trade

gfdgfd: well when were’s ready to trade we simply trade account names and passes etc

IÇÉD-T: ok how about we start with usernames and pass

gfdgfd: yes sure that’s fine

IÇÉD-T: your account name and pass

gfdgfd: one sec

Hello
I saw your advertisment on ebay about trading your warrior for a warlock. I have a shammy and warlock both 60 with epic mounts and i think there’s 5 epics on the shammy and 3 epics on the lock. The warlock has 6/8 dreadmist. It’s quite freaky how their both on the server you want lol. Please email me back with regards on how we would do the trade. Or even better get windows messenger and talk to me instantly. My messenger is iced.t@hotmail.com
Talk to me soon
