When I read this, I had two thoughts, one, who has $10,000 to just toss out the window on a character someone else built, and secondly, if I had the cash, why would I spend it on a character in WOW?
Well this is what has happened, a gent (I assume it is a gent) paid 7000 Eros ($9700) for a character on the Sylvanas... The news of the sell came to the attention of Blizzard, who promptly banned the account!
JoyStiq has more.
A Rogue character in World of Warcraft with arguably the best
gear in the game right now has been sold for 7,000 Euro (approximately
US $9,700). The avatar had both Legendary swords dropped by raid boss
Illidan Stormrage, as well as 4/5 of a Tier 6 armor set.
The
original owner, Zeuzo from clan Method on Sylvanas server, has been
sighted building up a new Rogue. When asked what one could do with
$9,700, the Joystiq staffer offered these suggestions:
- "Save it toward a house ... or Jet Ski!"
- "Buy as many WoW account as I could, build that many new computers and multibox it!"
- "A pool of pennies so that you can swim around in like Scrooge McDuck."
- "Cybernetic Mongoose"
- "I hear Russian mail-order brides are increasingly more reasonable ..."
The buyer, Shaks, currently resides on the Kazzak server but has not had any activity since September 3. Our sister site WoW Insider
speculates that his account may have been banned, given the publicity
of the auction and Blizzard's policy against selling accounts -- which
would be truly sad for Shaks and truly hilarious for the rest of us
(especially Zeuzo).
