Sad.
A geek and his pesos will soon be parted.
I think Gandhi may have said that.

I’d say this is mostly for the kind of person who plays not for the fun of playing (or even, gosh, even for ROLEplaying!), but simply likes to brag about his munchkin character.

Did anyone notice that *NONE* of the games actually have characters to rent yet?

I wonder how much they pay the people that play the games to get characters leveled up? If it’s good enough, maybe you should talk to them Les. Hell, I would consider a career change to be able to play WoW full time.

how did they get your paypal account.

Thanks for the info. I will make sure never to use this company for anything

Wow.

I was going to get them to get me an accolade but...they ask for your CoH ACCOUNT NAME AND PASSWORD!

What???

Like I’m going to take the chance some idiot will delete all my stuff AND access my toons

Skip on this one guys.

Look. i bought an acount with gamepal.... i did it because well i ahd to sold my old 75 acount for eprsonal reasons but i can play now again and i wanna play the end game with my real life friends…

They send me the wrong acount.. im still waiting for an answer with the acount i bought.. .. im just praying i dont get my money stolen. plus their page seem to be down now.. cos i tried in some diferent places and is not my ip.. hope they didnt ban me.. hmm aghh i hate this.

Yeah, i just got screwed over by Gamepal.  I hired them to lvl my wow account to 60 and then they leveled all the way and then got me permently banned!  Because they use chinese farmers!  What a load of crap.  I just wish i would have seen this post before investing in them.

Here’s my story here.  Good luck!

They seem like a good company to me, have used them many times for power leveling and gold and do things almost instantly.

Did you guys even contact there sales staff? I bet if you told them your problem they could fix this.

I made an order for some gold with these guys about a week ago. They require they contact you via phone first. Not a biggie, since I’ve been told many do the same. I miss the phone call somehow but I contact them and let them know this. They call back 3 days later, I pick up. Confirm order and log onto WoW expecting my gold to be there within the next 15 minutes to 1 hours (tops). I’ve now been waiting an additional 3 days. Still no gold. Out $90 and they’ve stopped responding to my e-mails it would seem, so far. Their “Online Live Support” never ever seems to have an operator available nor does their phone suppoort either. Yes, I have contacted their sales staff via e-mail and left messages on their voicemail several times now. My next step will be to open a dispute with PayPal. Should they decide to break their disclaimer about the privacy policy, no problem. I have their phone number. I’m sure there’s laws about giving out your private information and such. Whether or not it’s against the EULA shouldn’t matter. If they’re giving out your information, there’s probably a way to make some money out of them through the courts.

Wow sorry you guys had problems. I just had my character leveled 1-60 and they did it in 11 days and I had 900 gold on the account. Been very happy with them. The one thing about them is they are a US company so I suggest just emailing them until the problem is fixed.

Here’s my question for you, The One, what’s the point in bothering if you’re just going to have someone else play the game for you?

I don’t get it either, Les.  Maybe having a high-level character gets you laid more.

This reminds me of cheaters in QIII, which I still occasionally play online.  I really don’t understand the point in cheating- it’s not like you get paid for it, you’re not proving anything about your prowess, and you piss off all the non-cheaters who want a fair game.  To me, an online cheater of any ilk is like a little kid who finds two people playing chess, and then knocks over the gameboard, yelling “I win!”.  Pathetic, really.

I can see an argument for possibly spending real money to buy gold in the game as accumulating any significant amount of gold in WoW can be exceedingly tedious and time consuming (it’s my one big complaint about the game), but paying someone to take your character to level 60 for you means you’re bypassing most of the content in the game that makes it worth playing.

I know a lot of folks (myself included) who spend more time playing alts than our primaries once we hit level 60 because there’s only so much raiding/farming/PVPing you can do before it gets boring.

...as accumulating any significant amount of gold in WoW can be exceedingly tedious and time consuming…

Man, I have the same problem in the real world, Les.

I don’t know. I find it much easier to earn a paycheck than to get anything substantial in the way of fake money in WoW.

I’ve delt with gamepal before but it wasn’t pleasant.  I’m not gonna’ get into the details or speak for everyone else but my first impression from them wasn’t good at all. There are many more companies out their that does what gamepal does.  One company i’m particularily fond of is mmofactory. ([url=http://www.mmofactory.net]http://www.mmofactory.net[/url])

I’m a player of Guild Wars and RuneScape and i’ve been buying from them forever.  There were some times when their delivery was slow but my overall experience with them was satisfying.  They met my standards.  One nifty thing with them is they actually pricebeat other places.  Although they don’t advertise it.. they’ll do it if you speak with them directly… its kind of like a unwritten rule, haha.

And another thing.. i’m not sure if anyone experienced this, but when I ned support from other places.. I always end up speaking with someone who lacks the basic fundamentals of the english language.. which gives me a headache trying to decipher what they’re talking about.  I guess thats the cool thing with mmofactory, all they speak is english.. and kind of professional at it too.  Oh wells.. theres my rant at 5AM in the morning.. man, I need a life.. and money :(

I’ve used Gamepal.com quite a few times for powerleveling. Their prices are cheap, but so is their customer service. Recently I ordered powerleveling, and it hadn’t been started within their promised 24 hours, so I asked for a refund, and they said they would cancel the order but not refund me. So, I e-mailed their manager and got no response, and the next day I found my account being powerleveled, and when I again talked to customer service, they told me that it was my fault the order wasn’t cancelled, because I should have changed my password, even though I had asked for the order to be cancelled, and asked for a refund more than once. I have filed a complaint through the BBB in hopes of getting my $149.99 back. I would suggest using mygamestock or ige. Gamepal is not a quality company.

These guys really suck. I ordered an account but then changed my mind and canceled it (well within my rights) and was told it was canceled and I would receive a refund within 1-2 days. I waited for about 5 days and still no refund I contacted a person in “Live Chat” and they said that I had recived the account details so no refund. But I canceled this account. They accused me of lieing!!! They said that as I had recieved the details I could not have canceled my account. But I canceled and they said it was canceled. And guess what!!!!.... The account now is back on their site waiting to be sold to the next unsuspecting sap. I question them about this and get “ALL SALES ARE FINAL” and get cut off.

They really suck, stay away dudes!

I’m curious as to how gamepal would stop less than honest people renting a character for an hour and selling all their equipment and mailing the gold to a friend or changing the password and email to keep the account.

I had a horrible experience with Gamepal few months ago and tried to get a refund, again, was denied like the rest of you..I tried to file a legal complaint but I could not find them registered as a US company at all..so that again is fake.

Anyways, my friends told me about an American U.S. company www.YehforGames.com, I looked them up at the Secretary of Nevada State website, a *.gov website, and got the incorporation of the company as Yeh! for Games, Inc. so I knew they were legit...my friends did powerleveling but I went for PvP honor farming and it was awesome...good american customer support and good freakin honor I must say...I would never have gotten PvP Rank 13 without YehforGames...right now I’m just using them to run MC and Onyxia since I can’t always make it every week with my guild..they have an interesting DKP raid attendance service as well.  At least with a real US company, I have the assurance that I won’t lose my account or money since they know if they don’t treat their customers right, we’ll get our lawyers on them

i sold some accounts to gamepal eq and wow , maxxed out toons u wanna know how much they paid $80.00 us dollars,then a month later they emailed me claiming i stole back the accounts even though i didnt and had gotten emails saying server changes on the accounts they threated lawsuit against me if i didnt return the funds , i told them to f off cause i had their emails saying the accounts had cleared. well anyway no lawsuit was ever filed maybe lawyers cost more then the 80dollars per account they paided. so pretty much they allready double their money on your first rental. also they have no rights to accounts so anyone that sells them a account can reclaim it , and send them their crappy check back at any time so becarefull because they only need that first payment from u to recover double what they pay people for accounts , and they also send out emails to the sellers claiming the account messed up and to contact the site reset pass codes or mail them their money back. ether way u get screwed cause they will resell toon from under u or the person will reclaim account.

also, would like to mention,that u cant reset the password on these toons u rent,and also u cant reset the email address linked to account unless the seller agrees to the emails sent by game company .also alot of people that sell toons have really bad reps . so u need to spend money changeing servers,tooon names.and even then people that dislike the toon may still know who it is by gear aa,s looks so on ,also ebayed toons get found out and mocked by real players very often ,meaning forget about enjoying high end raid guilds as they can spot people who buy their accounts rather easy. by your lack of skill , newbie questions on maxxed toons and your poor navagation skills though zones. also people who started accounts make friends in the game and they will know and expose you when they chat u up and u dont respond in same manner the first owner did. stay away from gamepal not worth it, if u really wanna buy a toon get a account first then ask players in game to sell u a toon ,u will spend far less money and actully own the toon. same for plat buying people in game will sell it to u direct alot cheaper then sites will cause those same site pay people pennys compared to what they resell to u for

Yeah I feel for you mate, I just got my account banned because I got gamepal to level me a mage from 1 – 60, my account had a level 70 druid about 1k off buying epic mount, 60 priest and a few level 40+ characters I think like 100+ days on the account that are now down the drain lol….. I guess it was stupid on my part not to have made another account and get the powerlevel then transfer the mage to my current account, then I wouldn’t have lost so much.

Anyways gampal are poor powerlevelers and no discretion is used in their service. I noticed many faults, I logged on a fiends account to watch them level the mage, I did this roughly every 4 – 8 hours for a few days and did not see them log off the account once, the account was online for 6 days straight at one stage. I believe the character got to 42.5, sure enough the account gets banned. In gamepals terms of service it states the powerleveler will only be online for duration of 12 – 16 hours per day (to stop any suspicions by blizzard) not for 100+ hours.  How stupid can gamepal get I mean an account that’s been online for 6 days straight of course blizzard is going to monitor this, blizzard also stated in the email they sent me that an economy exploit and flagged ips were used. Apparently gamepal used a computer with a flagged ip, I’d say they got another account banned while farming gold/transferring gold on that particular ip then logged onto my account using the same ip, which then got my account flagged. So there were numerous reasons why the account got banned by gamepals poor powerleveling abilities.

I put these complaints to gamepal in order to get an appropriate reimbursement since I lost my account with so many hours on it, thinking I had a chance on the grounds gamepal screwed up. And all they offer me is a refund of the remaining unattained levels. I think this is unacceptable and that gamepal have ripped me off due to the poor service they provided me with. I agree with the first post do not get gamepals services they are very unreliable, and even if its their screw up nothing will be done about it.
