Hey guys,

Im looking to buy a cheap Wow account.

All i really want is an account with 1 main lvl 70 or 80.  Preferably a hunter or warlock and definately from the alliance.

if its not on aman'thul then transfer needs to be up on it.

I dont need it epiced out or whatever, as its just gonna be a cash cow to build a twink from.

Sold my account ages ago and have a real hankering to make another 39 twink warlock(is that where ppl twink these days???) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D6xFeFq2fg

thats my old one lol.

PM me pls.  Im not too fussed about servers

Cheers,

Ross

Put the wow copy down and come forward slowly with your hands in the air.

This is for your own protection..

It depends on what sort of games you like....
With WoW I enjoyed the freedom and social aspect of it but Im not into stats etc so all my mates are on about DPS etc etc and im just happy wandering around thumping the odd creature :) So my mates soon left me behind....
Borderlands is more like a FPS Diablo .... basic skill trees and lots of loot with a lot of action and humour :) Its more to my liking.... and its free to play ;)

Pew Pew got given a wow account last night with an alliance 70 rogue, 51 warrior and a few alts on it.

Now to buy WOTLK and its all go!!

No warlock or huntard though. Still levelling is much faster now right?

yep and with the 3.3 patch out theres some nice features - random dungeons where players from other realms can join your group. Also the questing ( blizzard got this idea from Warhammer online) now shows up on the map letting player know where to go to do the quests. One thing i have a grip about is for engineers to make the new ammo in my case 'shatter rounds' i will have to raid and get honored with Ashen Verdict. Well im not a raider nor am I geared to get into the latest raid. I hope they put in an option later on that we can get the honor from Heroics. These bullets are good 24dps more than the Mammoth cutters ammo. Buggar!

Or the excellent Questhelper addon which has been around for years. It's not the first addon Blizzard have built into the game (Outfitter/ItemRack, RatingBuster etc).

In regard to the OP's request... be careful Blizz have been cracking down on purchased accounts recently. Had a couple of guildies lose their accounts recently for doing just that.

Erm it actually wasnt purchased.

It was given by an ex flatmate. It is being used from the same IP as before lol.

The merger with the battlenet was actually quite good....gave me a reason to change email etc.

Yes i know that, im just saying the new quest helper Blizzard have added in is practically the same as Warhammer online one.  Best quest helper for wow is Carbonite, in fact i still will be using it cause of the other options it comes with. Carbonites map totally craps all overs WoW ancient one I wouldn't be surprise blizzard dont copy that in the next patch. Or 'Recount' im surprise thats not intregrated into wow by now as everyone uses it.

Carbonite is definitely one of the better map mods. Unfortunately its authors have reported a bug with v3.3 where the map all scrambles up in the northern areas of Icecrown. They're promising a fix with the next version.

I typically keep my addons to a minimum to save screen space, and more importantly, CPU/GPU power for WoW itself.
