    Not to mention if for some reason they do a character wipe during beta for some reason to test something else out. Then you just paid $900 bucks for literally nothing...... ::::18::

    and i'm sure it's against the EULA or even the NDA, or something...

    I wouldnt be suprised if it was a blizzard employee and once he/she got the account banned the said accounts IP address then reverse the charges on the credit card they used to buy it with and royally screw the sellers credit and leave him with a 900 dollar bill instead =P

    The reason it is so high is because they are selling the whole beta account. I wouldn't pay for beta, but I sure do know a few pittiful souls who would even pay that much.

    Let me know when they sell it, then I will be amazed. Honestly who would pay 900 bucks for that?

    it is against the BETA EULA.  They want it installed on one computer ONLY.  If you got the money to blow on something like that then that's cool for you.  I'd rather bogart it from someone I know who never plays it!

    I have seen tons of them been sold foe $400 and some with no characters but you would figure if you paid that much you would want to build up your own character before it gets wiped out anyway.

    Sorry guys, Blizz came right out and said it's not illegal. I'll try to find the post for you, but don't hold your breath. You could just take my word for it that I read a post in blue text on this topic already where they said it's not illegal, there's also a lot of ppl in game who got their account via EBAY.

     

    Most commonly ppl sell it before activating it.

    Lame....very lame....btw is that how you aquired your account drac? You never did tell us how you magically aquired 3 beta accounts =P.... just razzing ya hahaha. But seriously blizzard really said it wasnt illegal? Kinda odd but I can see why its not I mean they really cant regulate it anyways.

    I thought that Blizzard said it was against an agreement that the beta testers had to sign before they even signed up for beta. Did they null it already? It doersn't matter in Beta anyway since it's free to begin with. Otherwise, in retail, if I worked for Blizzard I would be pissed to see something like that happen. Oooh well.

    I bet dracius did buy an account. But at prices like that, it would have set him back a few thousand dollars. So if he did, he is really the loser in the long run.
