What is the buying process for a ToonStorm account?
- After you place your order, please come to live help.
- We will give you a phone call to verify your purchase.
- Once the order is passed, we will provide you with a WoW CD Key and a Burning Crusade key to create a new account. Creating a new account is necessary because it needs to match the original owner’s name to transfer the character - approx. 30 mins.
- Once your account is ready, we will need your help to create a character name on your desired server, with the same name as the original character we are transferring. This will allow you to pick a new name when you log in game for the first time with your purchased character (because the old name is already taken before the transfer) - approx. 5 mins.
- After that, you will need to transfer the character you have purchased from the original account to your new account, which usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on how quickly the WoW website responds.
- That’s it. You will be able to enjoy your new character right away.
How are the ToonStorm prices set?
Just like for oil or low-cost aviation industries, the market for MMORPG characters is influenced by numerous factors and thus may vary strongly from day to day. The buying and selling prices for characters depend on supply and demand, on eventual actions taken by game publishers, on our competitors, on our marketing operations and our current inventory. In fact, when we buy a character, we have an idea as to how much it is worth at the moment; however it is quite difficult to know when it will be sold and at what price. It could be the next day or several months later, meanwhile we have thousands of characters in stock that are depreciating each day.
For
these reasons, it is clear that if you are looking for the best
possible price for your character you should try to sell it yourself
to a private individual, either directly or via an auction site for
example. This method can be beneficial to you if you have enough time
to do so and if you take all the necessary security measures in for a smooth transaction.
On the other hand, if you do not have any time to waste, Toonstorm can offer you numerous benefits, as world leader in this domain:
Safe and valuable accounts, provided by private users, that have not been power-leveled in unknown regions.
- A professional and friendly customer service, available in real time via our live chat, who will assist you from A to Z throughout the transfer process, providing you with security and peace of mind.
- A 100% guarantee: after your purchase, should your character somehow be stolen by the original owner, we will replace it with another character or an in store credit of the same value as the one you bought.
The difference between the purchase and reselling price of an account on our site might seem important at first. However this is not the case if you take in consideration all the costs necessary to operate a website such as ours:
Developping and managing the website
- Customer service management
- Marketing campaigns and sales commissions
- Discounts and other promotional offers
- Protection against frauds and other security measures
- Personnel, administrative and overal costs
What are the risks of having your account banned?
To prevent an investigation and banning from Blizzard on second hand accounts bought at ToonStorm, you should:
- Never use any botting, automation or hacking program.
- Never buy currency or items directly on an account bought at ToonStorm. If you want to purchase currency or items safely, you should receive such purchase on your OWN original account, then preferably buy from with that account in the auction house and finally transfer the items to your newly bought character. Whenever you are trading currency between characters, make sure to exchange items for currency. Giving currency without anything in return (especially large amounts), can raise attention.
- Never buy any kind of powerleveling or skill leveling service on accounts bought at ToonStorm. Basically, never share your account information with 3rd party companies offering WoW services.
- Avoid sharing your account details with other people unless you have great trust in them.
All of our characters are purchased from individual players accross North America, Europe and Australia - which is why most of our accounts have full epics and high end gear.
Unlike many competitors, we do not buy pre-made powerleveled accounts from China with much shakier history (if you find out sites with a majority of low quality lev 70 characters with mostly rares/uncommons - these are the ones getting the majority of their accounts from China). Buying a pre-farmed account increases very much the risks of banning when GMs investigate the origin, account "age" and playing patterns of the owner. Which is why you can purchase accounts safely at ToonStorm without worrying about who played that character before you.
Overall, the IP address where your account is played is normally not a factor in investigations. Tens of thousands of WOW players move to new locations monthly, or play in the military or other remote areas. Therefore Blizzard cannot use IP location as a determining factor to ban an account.
Why should you trust ToonStorm?
You can trust Toonstorm simply because we are currently world leaders regarding the business of MMORPG accounts.
We purchase and sell thousands of virtual characters every month and the good reputation of a website like ToonStorm is a mandatory condition for success. Information travels so fast on the internet via instant messengers, forums, search engines, specialized websites, etc, that if we did in fact defraud our customers, this would be known immediately.
Therefore you can be sure that everything will be taken care of in a perfectly correct manner if you put your trust in ToonStorm, as many customers can testify on a daily basis.
