Wow.  There are a whole lot of people bashing Gamepal and talking up their own websites.  Seems fishy to me.  I haven’t purchased anything from any of these sites, and I definitely won’t buy from any of the sites that toot their own horn while insulting their competitors.  Although, at least some of the companies actually had the balls to identify themselves.  A lot of the rest just seem like general slander so that customers don’t go to one of their competitors.  This is just a sad industry.  I mean, do you ever see Circuit City talking shit about Best Buy like that?

these guys just ripped me off for $66, i bought game currency and never recieved my order, the wont answer emails and their 24/7 live help doesnt connect, theres never an operator on it, they recieved my payment 3 days ago and i cant contact anyone from gamepal…

I’m with Les on this one.  Why blow money a huge amount of money on “cool” virtual characters when I could buy a whole table top army for that amount.  Sure I play wow but that is just to placate my friends so I can return to RTS’s (though WAR looks to awesome to miss).  Sorry to say this but I have almost no respect for people who buy their characters.  At the very least gold farmers are fun to gank I hear.  They just keep coming back again and again.

Yup they are stupid bastards! As well as stupid specially the head of managemant in the philippine Lars. He even bullied an old lady over an elevator because apparently he doesnt want to fall in line.They also asked us to buy email address from admins to spam, create an exam to kick out all the gamers and replace them with bots, spam forums using the oloot.com link. They dont even pay taxes. or provide any health benefits for the employees

I started working for gamepal since december 2006
i have been in there for five months and there’s not a day that i don’t sweat because of scorching environment philippines is a tropical country but when i enter my workplace i just say to myself “welcome to hell” its like entering an instance in WOW there’s a barrier between cool and hot environment and our pay was only $220 a month that amount of money can be made by americans in as little as 4 or 5 days and we have to do it for a month it was really hardwork and we have to play 4 accounts of World of Warcraft. Eric Smith (OWNER of Gamepal) was a real-life Slave driver when his employees are experiencing lag he would still insist on the 4 account policy
thank god it was reduced to 3 accounts because the PL’s (power leveler) can handle the 3 accounts very efficiently with a bot program of course. i was one of the chosen to becone a guinea pig for their experiment they want to see if a PL can handle 2 computers with 3 accounts on each other that makes 6 accounts(damn with my excellent performance) thank god it did’nt happen
my time with gamepal was shortlived on march 2007 there was massive firing of personnel luckily i was not one of the chosen i suspect that they based the firing people on their IQ good thing i had high IQ so it did not happen to me in the end out 200 PL only 60 people remain only the best of the best remain i forgot to say they changed the game that we play from WOW to FFXI i really did’nt like FFXI maybe because i was really into WOW. then on april 29 they told us that all employees are now relieved of position i guess that’s why ERIC SMITH has not been sighthed for a month he was probably hiding from the angry mobs of ex-employees he fired because he was firing people with concrete basis what he did was a violation in the labor code of my country
they said gamepal philippines may return in about 6 months then they are going to call us then we became regular employees i was amazed that some of my colleagues actually stole computer parts in the computers that we are using they stole
7 1G DDR2 RAM
2 geforce 7600GTS 256 DDR2 video card
maybe it was just for revenge
i wish was able to get at least 1 of those RAM’s
wow i said a lot things about gamepal.
i like playing wow with american players they had etiquette unlike players here in philippines ( they’d just ignore most of the time only a fwe percent would help if WOW is release in my country )
they really help people with their quest
well its the opposite i when run into characters of different faction they always ganked me

I paid for Two “Made for Play” level 70 accounts to Gamepal and after a month of fighting with paypal and many emails to gamepal most of them contradicting what the previous email said I have decided my 600.00$ was lost to fraud, If anyone is interested I can forward my many emails and responces from gamepal. DO NOT use them of Paypal to pay for it, they will not refund your money even if you get no service. I took a week off work to do nothing but search for blogs and warn peeps of the fraud.... DO NOT MAKE my mistake and use Gamepal, or there “Sister” site Gamewar for anything, I have emails from them to prove my statements.

Maybe if I get my 600.00 back I will stop bashing them

READ THIS!! SHIT OF GAMEPAL INC.!!!

Gamepal Inc (http://www.gamepal.com) opened their RP branch, Gamepal International Corporation (GIC) last August 2006. This is a gaming company wherein their employees get paid to play videogames for customers worldwide.

GIC has 5 board members who has equal share of stocks (1/5 each):
Eric Smith(foreigner) - President (co-owner of Gamepal Inc)
Lars Lien(foreigner) - Vice-president
Kristine Rodrigo(filipina) - Board Secretary/HR Manager
Michelle Marin(filipina) - Board Treasurer/Admin/Payroll Manager
Daisy Bongais(filipina) - Board Member

They hired roughly 200+ people. Now, during the first week of April, the president left for the US. He never returned and never sent the payroll money, thus leaving all the employees without salary for April 30th. The president was in charge of the money/profit since everything has to go through the US branch and the payroll bank account only has enough for half a month of salaries which was paid for the April 15th.

Because of this, the VP immediately announced a temporary suspension of operations due to losses. When the employees threatened to file a case, he also left the country. When the board secretary and treasurer found out about this, they went into hiding and no one was able to reach them. Even the company lawyer couldnt reach them.

The highest remaining officer, the Process Improvement Director, then found a way to force the President to send the April 30th salary. All employees were able to get that. Now, the director decided that the remaining company assets (computer equipment, etc) be sold so that the company can pay for the severance/backpay and salaries of the few remaining employees(who worked may 1-15 to properly facilitate the closure and get the financial records ready).

To do this though, the director needed the signatures of the board secretary and the help of the board treasurer since the GIC wasnt able to pay the building’s rent/bills. And the building will not let them take the equipment out of the office until they were able to pay the bills.

Still, only the remaining board member (daisy) was cooperative but since she wasnt the board sec, they weren’t able to do anything. The two other boardmembers still was very uncooperative and still didn’t attend any meeting with the company lawyer.

They then heard that the employees are going to file a case against them at NLRC/Dole. The board secretary then texted employees saying that the backpay/severance is ready but they just don’t want the director to handle it because they think that he is trying to keep money for himself and that they want to pay the building dues first BEFORE salaries/backpay. (The board treasurer is the broker and is a personal family friend of the building admin)

The director refuted this saying that everything he did in facilitating the closure is well documented and can be attested to by the accountant, assst HR manager, company lawyer and the remaining board member.

Because of this, we, together with that director and the remaining dept managers filed a case at NLRC. Our hearing will be on the last week of june. We have already filed for sevarance/backpay/unpaid salaries/moral damages/attorneys fees.

I’m asking, is there any other case that we can file against these 2 board members? Specially the Admin/Payroll Manager because it was shown i the financial records that she has a lot of unaccounted losses in the company funds. (e.g. no reciepts for 2,000pesos she got for supposed “gas money” without reciepts, etc) Cause those losses have amounted to 300,000 pesos.

So yea i was playin guildwars went on vacation come back and cant login so i look at my e-mail and i got one from plaync saying the e-mail for the account was changed.... so i call plaync get my account back and wow look at that ALL MY SHITS gone 2 years of playin gone and now i got some dude pissed offed at me no less cause i took my account back. he claims he bought it from gamepal and gamepal claims “we have no records of that transaction” so now i have 2 years of game play gone some a hole trying to sue me cause he got taken for over 300$ by gamepal and gamepal is hangin me

GAME PAL BLOWS and anyone who buys gold only ruins the game for others. Ever think about what that does to in-game economy’s like SWG an item 2 years ago 500,000 now 100,000,000 DONT buy the credits or gold if you dont wanna play/work to earn what you have go pay someone to rob a bank its pretty much the same thing and leave the games/work to people who want to enjoy them
