The following is an interview conducted with Low, owner of Belrion, on May 2nd, 2007
How long have you been doing this? Did you start selling casually or has it always been a full time business?
We have been in this business for 3 yrs+. We started by selling casually as we got some stuff that we do not need and it seem to be too lazy to go auction them off. Another reason is to pay off the subscription charges ~ LOL ~
What gave you the idea to start this type of business? Did you use to be a gamer, maybe even a buyer or did is there some other story behind your entry into this market?
We were once gamers too and really addicted gamers who play long hrs. We did not buy during that time as we do not even know abt buying virtual currency online. LOL ~ There was a time when we found a guy who actually want to buy our accounts and equip and that is where we really first encountered this business market.
Did you come across any strange customers or business deals? Can you share one of the more weird experiences as a currency seller?
Sure do. But there were too many and too long ago to remember. One of the funny one which I remember is this guy actually claim to be some prince of country and wanted to buy large amount and we actually keep repeating the same words and he keep talking lto himself rather to us. LOL ~
What was the largest amount of gold a customer has ever bought?
There were quite a lot of big transaction and frankly speaking I don really remember it.
How about the customers that are not just strange, but really fraudulent – how do you deal with those and is it a big problem?
Virtual online stuff is basically not really legalise yet thus too much different views to it. Every website got their encounters and will try to counter it, we ourselves too have these problems but we have find means to counter it which is working quite fine so far. For starter buyers they may find it quite tiring and etc to buy from us but once they are over that period they are basically happy customer as we protect their accounts well. Security is a big concern for us and we do not let scammers get away easily.
Are you able to expand on any future plans of your company for this competitive market? Any particular goals or predictions you can share?
We have our ideas and will try to make it to a win win suitation for everyone from supplier to us and to customers.
Are you playing MMORPGs yourself? If so, what game do you play and for how much would you sell your main character :) ?
We are gamers too and yes we do play some games but not as much as before anymore. Frankly i am not sure if I will sell my character at this point of time, during that time when i sold my char it kind of pain my heart as really have put a lot time and energy into it.
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer our questions!
