WTT: Gold from Horde to Alliance :)

[Mosg2]

I've got 11k gold on Gorefiend Horde side that I'm looking to trade to get some gold on my new toons on Executus Alliance side. If you're interested please PM me and we can set something up

what are u trying to setup? payment=?
What you would have to do, is through the nuetral AH, sell something to the othere person (ei. me), then have me x-fer that character to the other server and trade you the gold. But how would 1. pay the person doing this service?

2. why not do this process urself, if u have multiple accounts?

Transferring gold from one side to another is illegal. I actually had an account banned for it once upon a time.

Also, there's a maximum amount of gold that a character can transfer with. I think you have to be level 70 or higher to take that much gold :/

Transferring gold from one side to another is illegal.

o_O

Is not.

I've done it several times.

I actually had an account banned for it once upon a time.

It could have been an automated process, who knows?

This was pre-TBC, I guess the policy may've changed. They said it was a manipulation of the economy and kaput, the account was gone.

Even if it's currently legal, the character would have to be level 70 to transfer it with that much gold :/

I have been cross-faction trading intensively from early in Vanilla WoW. That's how I make my gold, basically. So have been a lot of people on another forum I attend that is dedicated to WoW Economy (Azerothian Trade Union). I was taking advantage of the system on such events as the opening of the gates of AQ (was it called like that ?), when different materials had to be turned-in for Alliance and Horde. I litterally made fortunes doing that.

I have never heard of anyone getting banned for this kind of thing. I'm even pretty sure it was confirmed legal by blue.

Anyway, it is a much better approach to buy stuff on one side, transfer it through neutral AH, and resell it on the other side. It avoids losing a lot of gold on Goblin's cut. Also, with well chosen items, some profit can even be made

This reminds me when our guild all wanted the thug shirt from the undead. I created a new account on the horde side and leveled a char to 40. created new lvl 1 chars and gave the shirt to my newly created 40. 40 times! then ran to the ah in tanaris and listed them for a silver each..... ahhh good times there.

It's not illegal, and this topic has popped up several times on the forums here already.

Ideally you won't have to transfer through the neutral AH and just find someone rerolling horde willing to trade. Makes it harder if you're going to a different server though.

If anyone on Skywall wants to exchange gold from Horde/Alliance I've got about 90k alliance and 20k horde and I'd do the trade for a small (5%?) cut! :D

11k gold isnt so hard to make. takes a couple of weekend with a newly made dk, and invest your time in leveling up mining and herbalism. yea i know.. boring. well just an option.

I did just that to get Blood Elve's Rogue starting uniforms. Only about 10 of them, though. I think they look really good on Night Elves.
