I think the title says it all, but without the full story it doesn’t give the full picture.

It’s one of those things that happens to everyone eventually, especially if you buy plat. The day will come when you really want to try out a new site because they’re offering a great deal on plat, and with the money you save you can almost double your buy. This, my friends, is where the tale begins.

It starts simply enough. Just like I outlined above, a friend of a friend was really looking to try out a new site because he did a basic search and found a wonderful new site that offered some screaming deals. He was more than happy to try them out. The site was a little shoddy, but it was new so that seemed forgivable. The delivery time wasn’t great, but he figured you get what you pay for, and he could afford to be patient. They claimed to have plat at 500 for $10, and with that kind of savings he was okay waiting a week for delivery. He placed the order and thought it was nice they didn’t hassle him with a confirmation call. He quickly bought a money order for $50 and sent it off to the po box listed, then sat back and waited.

Here are a few things that should have raised some red flags for him. First and foremost, there is no way any site is offering that good a deal on plat. Even Toonstorm, where I usually shop, never goes below $100 for that much plat.

Next, a week long delivery time? Really? Where do they have to go for this plat, the moon? The longest I’ve ever seen anywhere is 48 hours, and that’s an outside figure. Sorry, that just doesn’t fly in my book.

Third and biggest - no confirmation call! Not even a live chat option! That little field where you filled out your character name? Yeah, they aren’t even reading it at this point. It’s there for show.

Finally, and possibly the greatest cardinal sin of buying plat, HE SENT A MONEY ORDER! Never, ever, under any circumstances should you use that method of payment. You may as well eat the cash. You’ll get more out of it that way. Pay pal or credit cards only, please.

Needless to say, that week went by and he didn’t hear from them. Now it’s been 3 weeks, and the site doesn’t even exist anymore, typical of a good scam.

Words to the wise folks. Be careful

Evening Folks.

Tonight it’s another article on buying Eq2 plat . What we’ll get into is “why” you might want to, and a few very important safety tips.

The first item we are going to focus on is the “why”. There are many different reasons why you would want to buy Eq2 plat, so we’ll cover a few of them tonight. If you just started playing Everquest 2, you would have very little equipment, and little to no in game currency. By buying Eq2 plat, you would then be able to purchase yourself some decent equipment and spell upgrades, which would aid you in leveling more rapidly. You would also be able to upgrade your equipment and spells as you leveled, so you can continue to level quickly.

Perhaps the chief motive people have for purchasing Eq2 plat is time. Many people who play have families and full time jobs, or they’re in school full time, with hours of homework every evening. That doesn’t exactly leave a whole lot of time for truly playing for fun, let alone trying to get needed plat for item upgrades/spells, or even tradeskill materials. By purchasing Eq2 plat, you leave the time you do have for the more important parts of the game, such as hitting your favorite TSO instance to get those final shards for that awesome range slot item you have been lusting after for some time, or you can get those final mats needed to *finally* level your carpenter to 80, so you can start decorating your house (and even get those rare harvests you need to make that furniture for your decorating). You might also want to use some of that extra time saved for spending with your family!

If you’re here, you are probably looking to purchase some Eq2 plat. If this is your first time there are a few simple things you can do to keep yourself safe from scams, as well as from possible suspensions and/or banning. (This is also a good refresher for you Veteran Eq2 plat buyers out there).

In order to keep yourself safe when buying EQ2 plat, you need to research the best places to buy from. You want to find a company that is reputable, known for their safety measures, and has good reviews. Also be sure that they provide guarantees and 24 hour support. I highly recommend that you do not use any seller that asks you to use a money transfer service (i.e. Money gram, Western Union), as they are assuredly a scam. One place we have purchased from previously with first class results is Toonstorm.com. Once you have decided on where to purchase your plat from, by following these few simple steps, you can greatly reduce the risk of an account suspension or ban.

When purchasing the gold:

Don’t go overboard. If you’re new to the game, and your character is only level 25, don’t go buying huge quantities of plat, as this will surely put you on the radar, for getting your account investigated. Instead, consider purchasing a smaller quantity at first, and purchasing a bit more later.

Be sure that you select the proper server, and have included the name of the character that you wish to receive the in game currency; you also want to make certain that the name is spelled correctly.

In Game:

Don’t go telling people in the game that you’ve bought gold. You may just tell the wrong person and they will report you, fill out a petition, prompting a GM to take a closer look at your account, which will likely result in a suspension or banning.

Thanks again for reading, I hope this information is helpful, and that your next purchase of EQ2 plat goes smoothly!

Hi everyone, 

I thought this week I would run down the actual process of buying EQ2 plat and how it works, for those of you stumbling on the site looking for guidance.

The very first thing you need to do is decide on how much plat you want to buy, then do some comparison shopping at the various sites. Prices do vary like any commodity, and will even be different from server to server depending on each server’s unique economy.  (One site you might check for starters is Toonstorm.com, we have used them before and been happy with delivery time and pricing.)

When you’ve found a supplier that you think you can trust, you will select your server, and the amount of plat. You will be asked for your credit card and EQ2 account information, so make sure it’s a secure site. Depending on the site, you might need to talk to a real person on the phone to confirm. 

This is where the magic happens. After a variable wait (depending on the site you chose, and also the amount you’re dealing with—usually between 5 and 30 minutes, but up to 48 hours in some cases) you have your shiny new plat!

Pretty easy huh? So get out there and buy EQ2 Plat like there’s no tomorrow! Heh, just kidding, be careful and shop around  :) Till next week….

Hey guys, (and gals!) 

Hope you’re liking the weather wherever you are and getting lots of good gaming in. I know we’re all enjoying Frostfell, EQ2’s very own Christmas celebration. Norrath is getting cozy and festive with new crafts, quests, and snowball fights. I’ve been checking out some of the new holiday quests they put out this year, as well as taking one of my newer characters through the classic ones. Lost a toe to frostbite playing in the snow, but it wasn’t one I cared too much about Also picked up some new recipes to try, so all in all it has been an entertaining and busy holiday for me. 

I got me some EQ2 plat last week using the coupon I told you about from Toonstorm.com (thanks guys!) and have been steadily spending it so I can buy more EQ2 plat (what a rough life I lead!) but haven’t yet decided who my next target will be for review. Stay tuned next week for some hints on buying EQ2 plat safely and without getting ripped off. Happy Holidays!

Hello again everyone!

I hadn’t originally planned to post again until the weekend; but I ended up getting some spare time today - so my time is your gain.

This week I wanted to try a new site that I haven’t really tried before. I found one within about 3 minutes of searching(go google ads). They promise under 6 hour delivery times and have pretty competitive rates - on a side note they also say they are 100% American - who knows about that.

The website is Toonstorm.com and the going rate is 20 Plat for 25.61, this might of course change by the time you read this.

I think the best way to do this is post what I have written now; and then I’ll post a follow up with my ranking when I get the order. (P.S. Order placed at 8:40 AM Mountain time - we’ll see how long it takes to get it)

====================================

Got The Order

That was INCREDIBLY quick - I guess they carry stock on EQ2; I’ll give you the exact run down on how dealing with this company worked.

1. I placed the order - first time order.

2. I got a phone call from a 100% U.S. person just to confirm it was me that placed the order.

3. The person told me they had stock and it would be delivered within 15 minutes.

4. (Me not liking to wait for anything) By the time I even logged in it was there and waiting for me.

As far as customer service and delivery of the product go I don’t really think this website is going to be beaten by anyone, short of telepathic customer service reps these guys are about the best there is out there.

I’m going to review another site mid next week but I’ve got to give a big hats off to Toonstorm.com for this weeks review. This is how a company that sells eq2 plat SHOULD treat their customers.

A+

Toonstorm.com is a great place to buy EQ2 Plat
