A player of World of Warcraft has now offered his account for sale. This is not unusual in itself – but what is exceptional is the price he is asking: He wants about €7,400 for his account, which he advertises as “the best account ever offered on Allegro and probably ever will be.”
What makes the offer so interesting?
- The sale of accounts in World of Warcraft is illegal and against Blizzard’s wishes, but it still happens relatively frequently.
- Normally, “decent accounts in WoW” command amounts of a few hundred euros.
- However, on a Polish sales site, a user is now offering his account for 35,000 zloty, which is about €7,400.
The player was apparently a passionate collector and a successful raider and PvP player
What makes the account so valuable? As the seller himself states, there has “never been a better account on Allegro – and there probably will never be a better one again.”
The player was evidently a successful raider and PvP player for years. At the same time, he was a passionate collector in WoW: he has apparently lived World of Warcraft for over 15 years. This makes his account, in his eyes, so valuable.
According to the seller, the account comes with all pets in World of Warcraft, including the rarest pet “Tyrael’s Hilt”. This pet alone is worth over €3,000 to some. In addition, the account has all collector’s pets and those from the card game – only the ones from the last patch are missing.
The account ranks among the top 1200 worldwide in terms of achievement points
Moreover, the account has achieved several titles from past times that no longer exist, such as the title “Scarab Lord” – an achievement from the early days of WoW.
Additionally, the account has accumulated a series of “Server-First” kills, such as “Conqueror of Naxxramas” – as a reward for the server-first kill of Kel’Thuzad.
In total, the account has hoarded 36,000 achievement points – thus placing it according to a ranking among the 1,200 “best accounts” in WoW worldwide (via wowprogress).
The player has also collected 715 mounts, including some that can no longer be obtained, such as rare PvP mounts. Of course, he has also obtained items like “Ashes of Al’Ar”, which normal mortals search for their entire lives.
For collectors with a flair for fashion, it is also important: the account includes rare transmogs, such as “Shaman Tier 3 Earthshatterer.”
This is how it will soon continue in WoW:
15 years of life are being sold
What’s behind it: The one who played the account must have spent a large part of his free time or his life in WoW over the past 15 years: the combination of a “completionist” who diligently gathers every achievement and a successful raider and PvP player who delivers performance is relatively rare.
Thus, the account should be worth more than a standard account. However, whether someone will actually pay €7,400 for it is questionable.
The problem: Such an account could certainly attract Blizzard’s interest and perhaps the buyer won’t enjoy his investment for long. It shouldn’t be difficult to trace back which player is behind the account with many server-firsts.
