V. FAQ



Q: Why won't my macro work?
A: Check for spelling errors. Make sure words that need to be capitalized are done so(Text commands are never capitalized). Check for proper syntax. I would guess a majority of nonworking macros are due to spelling errors.

Q: Why are spells from my old job staying on my hotbar when I switch jobs?
A: Use a blank /eaction command to get rid of extra spells.

Example: /eaction 1 ""


Feedback

Hey. These guys seem to be pretty legit imo, although I have only the opinions of others to base it off of, and not my actual experiences buying from them. hmm :/ Cool site though.

I ordered 15000 gold straight from IGE. I did not even speak to their live chat. Within 15 minutes of order I got an automated call verifying the order and within the next 30 minutes in game a guy wisped me in game.

- bazarfd

I am very pleased with the speed and relative ease for Game4Power. Very professional and I will most definitely be using them again.

When I bought LotRO gold from UsFine I had to wait nearly a week and endure numerous brokenpromises that it would be delivered soon.That pissed me off and they responded very slow and rude. The didn't offer a refund or anything. So I started a dispute through PayPal.

- Zombeau

FFXI-Gil.com was by far the best company I've ever dealt with in buying any sort of game currency.

- Dross

The slowest delivery time i've ever experienced for WOW gold store.  I have been extremely disapointed by SuperGameShop. 

- gulmotto

The MOGS was current in stating that the turn around time for an order was between 30-60 minutes, and sure enough I received a call confirming all of my information before the ISK was sent to me.

- maccle

Quite a disappointing experience with WoWPowerWoW.They don't live up to their high ranking. Apathetic customer service.  Horrible chat queue.

- vheffner

What i actually like about them is their customer support which in my opinion is far more superior then the rest.I've made several deals with IGE and all is done in smooth and fast way.
I have to say IGE is the best on this gold things.

- Vaere

The price was so expensive and since I ordered gold from AllGameGold, they keep me waiting for ever, even for a small amount.They keep saying that you don't have to wait long, but nothing happens! I hope I can get my money back because I don't get gold!

- Amabala666

I tried buying gold from IGXE and I have received my order in time. I am not sure if I was just lucky but it looks like these guys are coming around again. Their site is also more updated with new content, which might mean that they are becoming active again.I will try to order from them again soon and I hope that they deliver my order the same as they did two weeks ago.I suggest you try them out again...

- Cleron99

Less than 30 minutes from ordering and paying for the gold, I have received emails from them detailing the progression of my order, been in Live Chat with a person who spoke real English and talked on the phone with same.I've always used their service. To me, wowmine is the best site around.

IGE is in my opinion just oustanding. 
My experience has been pretty good overall with this site. I've bought from a couple of others, and in the end they give you a big run around. If your order isn't ready on time, just get on their livechat and talk with a rep.

- Ztormy

Like all other gold selling AkGame, they're annoying.I cannot believe this site has so many positive ratings!They may be better at supplying for other games or other servers, but I will NEVER trust them again!

- jobabrat

i have used these guys a couple times and both times the order was completed satisfactorily.Today I recieve a call 15mins before my delivery, and 30mins after the time I specified I recieved the gold in full.
5 stars.

- qiqiroin

My friend ordered from IGXE last week, purchasing WoW US gold.The order was delivered within ~30 hours in full.I guess they did their job as advertised. I think their policy of calling you to establish your identity and confirm your order is a nice feature.

- kagemero

This was my first time buying anything for a game and so I was quite nervous about my first time. Apparently after doing some research on gold farming websites, I found MySuperSales to be the best choice based on the rating on this website. Sure there are websites that have higher ratings, but they usually have bad service and slow dilivery,so I decided to use this one.It went very well. I will certainly buy again if I need in the future.

- Jinjudsu

They make claims and do not fullfil, same as all these other companies that feel its so important to lie and get you to order when they know they cannot fullfill the order..

- NewbuxB

I have worked with and ordered from MOGS since 2006. They have been a great supplier of virtual currency over the years and i've always been pleased with their service.

- Aryoch

UgameGold says guarenteed gold within 24 hours. I bought 500m ISK for Eve Online earlier tonight. Right after I ordered, I hit the "live help" button to see how long it might be.Then I recieved an email saying they were out of stock in my realm(which there aren't alot of people on anyway). Five days later I still get nothing and they started getting very rude as well. I will strongly suggest not going through them unless you want to wait at least a week for your gold.

- nibblemynutz

..on 10th day I have been told by OgeWorld that LOTRO EU GOLD is in stock on server Snowbourn and that i will recieve it in upto 48 hours, so i kept waiting, today it is 14th day and i still did not recieve it, i will wait till 18th day,unintelligible site…

- ivan33987

I purchased the Power Leveling service from 41-55 priced at $51.00. I purchased it on Friday afternoon and they completed it today (Saturday). No problems with the character.I would rely on BankofWoW for some rs gold or warhammer loot. It works perfectly and it came in fast.

- Andies

Thsale said the gold"delivery garunteed within 30 minutes - 48 hours,don't believe the whole word.This company will take your money and give you nothing,tomorrow i will send off a dispute form to my credit company and the next step after that will be informing the police.

- Khalus

I have bought WOW gold 2 times from Game4Power and I will certainly buy again.It took about an hour for delivery, which was longer than their site promised, but support was responsive, and it was an overall good experience. I'd buy from them again.

- Miralyn

Terrible delivery. Slow customer service chat. Promised within 48 hours. 48 hours later they don't know when they will make delivery.Chat queue is horrible. Email response is painfully slow. I feel so depressed for AkGame…

- Virgil85

I bought 250k eve online isk from BankofWoW... Ordering process was smooth, no problems.The first time the gold was delivered in 25 hours,the second time in 2-3 hours time!! Fast and reliable service!Highly recommended...!

- Vaebn

I orderd gold for WowUS from G4AIR and was told it would be delivered in 30 mins. 5 days later and several emails and live chats, they finally confessed that they didn't have ANY gold collected and asked if I could be patient. I had to demand a refund. This is the worst customer service I've ever dealt with, and I caution you to be VERY careful before using their services.

- Acidbaron

I ordered 10k gold from IGXE around three hours ago and now - bingo! I have my flymount. The gold was available and delivered within 2 hrs.
Very pleased doing business with these guys, and I think I will do it next time.Very fast delivery and absolutely no hassle; a very good experience!
