WOW Players

WTH is WOW gold? Y'all don't see them, but we get a bunch of spams for this -- it only just dawned on me that the spammer wasn't saying Wow! Gold! but WOW Gold.

uhhh, I dunno? There're a few upgrades, but none called "Gold" that I know of. Unless it's someone offering to sell you "gold" within the game. They earn gold coins through their characters, and then sell your character the gold coins they earned for REAL money from you.

If that's it, it's a totally NOT OK thing to do according to the rules of WoW. I can ask SKnot who you'd report the spam to, if you'd like. Someone within Blizzard (the company that owns WoW) would love to disable the spammer's WoW account.

I may have dreamed this, but you used to be able to sell your gold, but now it's not allowed. Right? Like knotted, I'd need to check with my sons.

Oh, WOW = World of Warcraft for those who are wondering. Online computer game that is all the rage.

This might be a place to start: http://us.blizzard.com/support/webform.xml

as you answer the questions, it gives you a form to fill out. Most of the scam stuff I found was for folks within the game, but I'm sure the GMs would love to know about someone reaching outside the game and breaking the rules.
