People might not believe that you can make money online playing popular mmo's like wow but its completely possible and easier than you may think.I played wow off and on for many years before I realized that I could sell my games digital information for a decent amount. In auctioning off my first account I made $350. I later bought another account for $150 then turned around and sold it for $500. The account which I bought for $150 only had a lvl 70 warrior.I managed to level and gear him up with top end pve gear which allowed me to sell the account at the modest price of $500.Other accounts with items roughly equal to mine sold for alot more. Surprisingly theres a decent market for this,alot of people still play wow.
First off let me be clear that its against any MMO's game rules to sell your account information.So if for some reason you get caught trying to sell your account, it will be banned.That's pretty much the worst that's going to happen, there are no legal ramifications.There are safe ways to sell gaming accounts, if your cautious chances of being caught are pretty low.Most of the people I played with over the years that quit all ended up selling their accounts one way or another.
So, you like MMO games like World of Warcraft. Wouldn't it be nice to actually make some money on the side while you play?Its not that difficult,its all about using the right website and taking the proper precautions.The website I used is Playerauctions.com.This site is exactly like an Ebay for MMO accounts with excellent security measures that make buying,selling or trading accounts relatively safe.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT PLAYERAUCTIONS.COM
1: Its never 100% safe to buy an mmo account from someone you don't know.I use Playerauctions because they have built in security measures and like Ebay you can purchase accounts from people that sold before,people that have feedback.
2:Security measures you say? People who post their auctions as "original owners" must submit a photo ID.That ID name and address must match the name on the account.The ID and information is submitted where playerauctions staff reviews and verifies it.
3:When buying, you pay the website which in turn gets information from the seller.They verify that the account is secure, then deliver the information to buyer.PlayerAuctions then takes a small cut out of the transaction.
BUYING AND RESELLING ACCOUNTS AT AUCTION SITES
1:Keep in mind that anyone who sells you an account can get their account returned to them by Blizzard if they provide blizzard with the secret question and a photo ID.So use discretion,buy accounts from people with positive feedback.
2:Buy from original owners.The more an account changes users,the more likely blizzard may ban the account for account trading.
3:Communicate with buyer or seller.These things can never be 100% secure so use your better judgement.If something sounds fishy then don't go through with the transaction.
4:When selling an account, getting that first sell and feedback will be the hardest part even if your the original owner of the account and provided a pic of your ID.Provide as much detail as possible.Explain what lead you to stop playing, this can go a long way.Try to make your first auction a good deal or else you wont be able to compete with the power sellers.
Remember PA works with any major MMO game.There are big time mmo's around the corner like Star Wars The Old Republic,Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 2.I certainly will be playing and cashing in with these games that look to be the future top MMO's.
