Sold my World of Warcraft account
So after quitting World of Warcraft about three months ago, pottering around between advertising it for sale, considerations of playing again, and many failed attempts at reinstalling the game on my computer, I finally sold the account. Here's a screen capture of my PP account for the naysayers:
Yep, got a cool 325 for it So it's a done deal now; I've had fleeting desires to play every now and then, but now it's for sure, can't get it back.
I know most of you think it's the stupidest thing ever, or nerdiest, or whatever, but I honestly did have an excellent time not only playing the game, but interacting with the friends I made while playing.
And I know there are a few of you on here that play, whether or not you're man enough to admit it like Spaz, so here's some screen shots for you guys (Thumbnailed due to size, 1680x1050 resolution of my desktop):
Name of my character is "Angern" if you're looking at the chat logs. Also, the thumbnail links kinda suck, you have to open the new window, then maximize the reduce picture again to see it well.
Waiting around for the raid to start:
Dicking around in-between raid bosses:
When I got my Phoenix mount (Probably the rarest rideable mount in the game):
Random cool scenery shot while bored:
Making a good impression in the new guild (See chat):
Action shot:
Random WSG scoreboard:
And teh monies in teh guild bank
inb4 insults(nerd, loser, fag, getting money for stupid reason, etc)etc
Will also answer any questions, serious or notLast edited by 86 IROC-Z; 11-09-2009 at 01:37 PM.

Shit, how much time did you put into that account... I may have to play and sell accounts, lol... Can I make a profit if I hire and a feed a Mexican?

I played for 2 years and 1 month. The main character, shown in the screen shots, had a /played time of about 120 days if I remember correctly. Assuming my math is correct, and that I played the same amount of time each day, thats around 6 hours a day for two years.
And no, you won't make a profit. Not only does the subscription cost $15 a month, but you and your Mexican will be competing against warehouses full of farmers in china, who play 18 hours a day just to get three meals and a bed to sleep in. They literally sleep where they work.

Trying to figure out who the bigger loser is...the guy that played that for an average of 6 hrs a day for 2 years or the one who paid $325 for said account....

Pretty sweet...you had fun playing the game and in the end almost got back what you paid in fees.

Yeah. Let me go take a look at old emails/ebay messages and I'll list all the offers I got for it.
Yep. That's a real screen shot of my paypal account activity.
Exactly. Even if I hadn't sold the account, it's not like I would be losing anything from playing the game. I've had people say to me "LOL WELL U SPENT ALL THAT MONEY" and I'm like, "So?" People pay for subscriptions to magazines without the intention of reselling them at a later date, hell, most get thrown away. The pleasure comes from reading the articles. Sure, it's not exactly the same (Most notably the storage space difference...), but the fact stands that, as I said before, I paid to play the game and had an excellent experience doing so, which makes me happy enough without the added benefit of being able to sell the account.

In order:
$900
$750
$350
$475
$500
And the final selling price of $325
There were many other offers mind you, including low ball ones as well as some outrageous ones, but the ones I listed above were ones that were being seriously considered either by myself or a potential buyer.

Congrats on selling your account. I was hella into Starcraft and Diablo 1 and 2 back in the day(like 7yrs ago) but I could never justify paying to play WoW.

Diablo 2 was my vice for years before I got into WoW. Still have some random pics hosted on my photobucket from way back when:
My main character, hammerdin:
signature for some d2 forum (I loved paladins)
Also had an 89 sorc, 87 barb, 84 assn, and some other random characters that weren't geared as well as the ones already listed.

Paladins were the shit definitly my favorite character to hack altho I had a pretty badass amazon and sorc too.

I thought this thread was a joke, like your receipt
Guess this ones real
My best guess as to what you looked like
So now that there's no more world of warcraft, guess you'll be trolling ls1.com even more
am i right or am i right?
