A Guide to AoC Gold Sellers

There is too much to do in AoC for you to be wasting your time grinding gold. Who wants to have to do something boring when they are playing a game? That's where gold sellers come in; helping reduce the amount of time you spend endlessly killing the same monsters. But finding a good gold seller can be hard, since there are so many; dozens if not hundreds of them, in fact. So how do you tell the good sites from the bad? It can be impossible to tell which ones are good places to buy AoC gold cheap. This guide will help you tell a good gold seller from a bad one, and tell you a few good sites to check out.




So we all know the first thing we need to do when buying something online-check the site's trustworthiness. This is true of all online purchases, not just gold, but it can be tricky. A good trick is to stick to big sites (they wouldn't be big if there were a bunch of stories about them ripping people off floating around), and sites advertised on other trustworthy sites you frequent. Generally a good site won't advertise a bad one. Still, your safest bet is to stick with easily recognized names like IGE, SwagVault, etc. Bigger sites tend to be the best places to buy AoC gold cheap anyways.




So, you know the site is safe. Does it have gold for your server? A good site will keep a huge supply of gold at hand so they don't run low...but this can be impossible to judge. Until the moment you buy, you can't be one hundred percent certain a site will have enough gold for you. That said, I've never even heard of IGE running low; they keep a LOT of gold at hand for all the games they sell currency for.




How about customer privacy? Getting a visit from a GM is definitely something to be avoided, but not all sites are smart about this. If you want to be REALLY safe on this aspect, go with SwagVault; they use a variety of tricks to mask your transactions, giving maximum security. IGE is acceptable too, but not as good as SwagVault.




So, time to talk price. Generally, the top sites will have similar base prices. What decides the best is usually who is having a sale, and sometimes certain servers will be cheaper on certain sites. If no sales are running, though, IGE will usually be the cheapest around by a hair.




If you just want a couple sites to check out, and don't want to do a ton of shopping around, I'd go with either IGE or SwagVault. IGE is cheap and good all around, SwagVault is usually slightly more expensive but also slightly more secure.
