In one of the highest dollar MMORPG auctions seen, one of the best geared rogues in WoW worldwide was sold for 7,000 Euro (Approximately $9,700.00 US Dollars).
The character was a Night Elf Rogue named Zeuzo from the guild Method on Syvanas (EU), and was only one of two people in the world that wielded both of the legendary Illidan Stormrage swords. He also had 4 out of 5 parts of the Tier 6 armor set along with numerous other drops from Mount Hyjal and the Black Temple.
The new owner which appeared to have been inactive until the purchase went by the name Shaks and had performed a server transfer on the newly purchased character to the Kazzak (EU) realm.
In what’s a new high for character sales since the peak of Everquest, is now a new low for gaming geeks everywhere…
Update: Due to the publicity and recent rumors its been speculated that Blizzard has since banned the offending account in accordance their stated policy. Better hope for that money back guarantee Shaks!
Old news :P, but anyway rumours is that it was a sheik of some sort who bought it

Hahaha. Next time keep the publicity down, eh? It is still on the WoW armory, though, so maybe they didn’t delete it after all.
