Re: WoW people
Okay, so your WoW account is just like your e-mail account or Paypal. Totally personalized. Short answer, he's selling his account with 3 different characters. [Skip to last paragraph]
Long answer:
You create characters and play. Level 80 is the highest level your character can achieve. Meaning you can reach all different areas of game (there are areas closed to noobs w/out good friends and/or death wishes b/c you're level 5 and the things to kill in that are are level 80 or ?? to you. Bad).
Character classes: Warlock, Hunter, Shaman, basically your type of person you're playing. You can also be warriors, priests, mages, etc. This is just your preference. I'm a warlock, I have an alternate priest, E is a mage, DH is a paladin with an alternate mage.
Gear scores: SUPER nerddom. Meaning you have your gear (which can have stats) + things that can be added to gear (gems, enchants and runes which all have stats) + various other stats = gear scores. I don't get a lot into this, although DH has had to b/c of some things that can happen with his character (a paladin) when he achieves a certain score in a certain stat.
Epic flying -- can fly really fast in all areas flying is allowed. On gryphons, dragons, phoenixs, etc. Cold flying means that he can fly in all regions, normal speed only on regular gryphon.
Dual spec -- each class has 3 "trees" (thing of them like tracks in your college major) to buy talents in. You buy them with talent points you acrue when leveling from 1-80, 1 point for each level. You have the majority of your talent points in one tree, with points sprinkled through the other 2, aka a build or spec. In a recent expansion you can now switch between 2 different builds (it costs money to buy a "talent" of dual spec). For example, I'm a warlock. My 3 trees to choose from are demonology, affliction, and destruction. My main build is mainly the destruction tree and my secondary build is mainly the demonology tree. I flip between them depending on if I'm playing with my guild in a raid or by myself.
Mining, engineering, tailoring, enchanting -- Professions in the game. You can also do herbing, alchemy, inscribing, etc.. These also level in points. You need them b/c you make stuff with the professions. Armor, weapons, potions, runes, etc, that your character can use, give away, or sell. Max is 450 and takes time, skill and $ to reach.
The higher these relative scores/professions/gear/abilities are, the more $ your account is actually worth.
[Pick up here]
For an account like that, he can easily make a couple of hundred dollars. A mediocre 80 will go for $100+. Depending on what level his gear actually is (he's about my stat level on that warlock, so he probably has a lot of epic/purple pieces on that character b/c I'm fairly buffed out), he could be looking at $500-$800. (His hunter should be higher in gear spec and no one cares about a level 68).
Basically, you pay him, he gives you the log-in and password. You change it, voila, it's yours now. There might also be some shenanigans with server changes, transfers, etc, but that's basically it. I've seen characters advertised for $1500, though I'm not sure if anyone buys them. But those characters are like buying the king of the game (usually have matching armor that you can only get by running dungeons over and over waiting for it to drop), w/out doing any of the work.
Thanks for explaining. I was perusing the video game category on CL and came across it and was really confused. I had no idea people did this.
On another note, "paladin" made me chuckle because it's the name of some super diaper rash cream I use on DD.
and as a note, WoW does NOT allow the selling of toons.
You'd be banned if they knew.
So you obviously don't tell them. Which creates problems with "nuh-uh, I didn't sell it, my acct. was hacked"
