Interview with Joe, owner of MOGbroker, on May 15th, 1007:

How long have you been doing this? Did you start selling casually or has it always been a full time business? 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?

I have been involved with MMORPGs for about 8 years. I started in eq1 and moved to Eve-Online. I started by trying to sell my isk at Ebay and my local LAN gaming center. My addiction to this game turned into a huge investment. I managed to sell about 8 characters for 3k. I took that 3k and became an accounts manager at an older currency company that has gone Kaput www.ownyourgame.com . I made allot of cash buying and selling eve online characters. I left that company and started www.mogbroker.com and www.evecharacters.com .

Currently my joys are not in gaming (if time permits, you will see me in game). I am an E-Business enthusiast and will be working towards gaining more knowledge as it becomes available. This includes keeping up to date on the industry.

There is something about selling virtual currency and creating a viable income out of it. I enjoy running a business and creating a customer base which is not only global but very diversified from age to game. Included is the joy I get out of watching my Partners in china gain momentum in this business. They come from a very modest income and have achieved and made more money in a short period of time then most other Virtual currency employees. I am definitely interested in learning about other cultures and traditions as they pertain to business / advertising / marketing. The world is getting smaller and smaller. We will all get used to one another and what better time then right now.

Did you come across any strange customers or business deals? Can you share one of the more weird experiences as a currency seller?

I have not come across many very strange customers. The ones I did come across were drunken customers flirting with our customer service ladies. Let skip this question, nothing comes to mind.

How about the customers that aren’t just strange, but really fraudulent – how do you deal with those and is it a big problem?

Fraud is life for any virtual seller. Its how you deal with it, companies have there own strategies on dealing with fraud. Unfortunately there is no way of being protected from fraudulent attempts. There are quite a few steps we take to prevent fraud or malicious activity against my company. We are located in the United States and have caught 3 fraudulent buyers who were actually prosecuted for many other fraudulent charges. We traced them down via some information they left behind and the national agency worked along side us and many other sites to catch these weak minded individuals. We are going to pass on getting too detailed on this subject.

Mogbroker seems to cover quite a few MMORPGs, but not World of Warcraft. Is there a specific reason for leaving out the biggest game on the market?

World of Warcraft is saturated with banning. There is allot of money to be made, but there is allot of money to be lost. Now blizzard is reversing currency out of customers accounts, in turn the companies are held liable.

[Update - June 1st, 2007] We now sell world of warcraft gold! As of May 15th!

How do you get along with other sellers like IGE or MOGS - is it brother in arms or a cut-throat free-for-all?

I don’t know [the people behind] Mogs or Ige. I don’t check IGE prices because they are just way over priced. Allot of other companies such as My Company Mogbroker is providing the currency at lower prices with same delivery times. IGE is like Microsoft in this industry and they are just raping every poor soul who is willing to pay 100% more for a product. They do have great customer service and allot of stock. Unfortunately most customers don’t realize we have suppliers who work with IGE and Mogbroker. They will sell there currency to the highest bidder and that is normally IGE. Unfortunately IGE tries to mandate prices on some occasions that suppliers don’t want to pay. For instance 100 gold bought by ige is 10$. Mogbroker will buy it at 12$ and sell it at 20 – Ige will buy this and sell it at 30$.

Mogs on the other hand is an American owned and operated company, im very proud of any companies who are owned by an American such as Mogbroker. I commend Mogs on there work and hope to keep a civil competitive edge over them. Hey my websites way better then Mogs, I put in allot of work to get it looking right for our customers, we have allot of great programmers and artists who are very gifted and fast.

Are you playing MMORPGs yourself? If so, what game do you play and for how much would you sell your main character :) ?

I used to play MMORPGs quite a bit . I have not played any MMORPGs like I used to. My business is very busy and I run a couple of other websites. Right now I play LOTRO and cant find the time to get past LVL 16. I am a guild leader and enjoy the game very much. Unfortunately id rather improve Mogbroker and provide a great service for all the gamers out on the wonderful www.

Everytime I see Eve Online I get somewhat lonely lol. My head shrinks and the world feels really big. I miss it and will always promote it anyway I can.

As a matter of fact I was speaking to some noobs who have never played Eve online and explaining the piracy, alliance wars and little wars in game. They were amazed but I could tell they still had no clue as to what scale I was speaking of.

Yes kane, my 1 month old order hasn't even been looked at. Also, I never see your damned support online, ever. I haven't received the refund you have promised.  
Comment by ictponder on 26-01-2009 3:46 AM
 
I've ordered close to 3billion isk from this shop and not once been suspected by GM. Some times the service is faster than others but I always get the isk and I never get in trouble, which is most important to me.

Even if ya save a dollar or so by purchasing from another site, they can't even speak english and they use shady characters to do the transfers.

I have used other sites before mogbroker, but not since.  
Comment by kane357 on 26-01-2009 3:17 AM
 
This is obviously false, we check our orders continually and we are always online and processing orders as fast as possible. This website used to be good, now its just full of spamming and competition trying to put down one another. I say find out for your self instead of relying upon all these poor comments.  
Comment by Junkyarddog on 20-01-2009 3:45 AM
 
I have ordered from them in the past and I got nothing. If I didn't file a complaint to Paypal, I wouldn't have gotten my money back. Their customer service performance is very poor, made me paranoid even. No one to contact, no one contacted me. Tried everything, e-mail, call, whatnot, but no one got back to me. DO NOT TRUST THIS SITE!!!

Try WOWGOLDPIG instead. They are fast and their customer service is the best. Try them. THEY ARE TRULY THE BEST SITE EVER!  
Comment by Unfeared on 29-12-2008 4:47 PM
 
Probably the worst shop around. They don't even care about it. They check their site weekly and the Live support is NEVER online.  
Comment by Unfeared on 24-12-2008 11:03 AM
 
My experience with this site is very bad, when I've ordered my damn 100mil ISK, for 3.01$, it takes them over 12 hours to "respond". It was auto confirmed, then auto cancelled without a reason. They treat customers like shit and let them wait, then send them away. All this time I've never seen the Live support online either and nor have they replied to my emails.
This site is a waste of time, they don't want to do business with you, unless you give you all your personal information upto what color pants you wear. Fuck them.  
Comment by shofia on 24-11-2008 2:55 PM
 
Put in an order this morning - got auto confirmation.

E-mailed as concerned the details appeared incorrect. - No reply

Live chat - nobody working today.

6 hours on still waiting.

After reading more about their company and owner, I would definitely use their services again.

They have always done me well on each occasion.

And yes, I panicked when I didn’t get a response from them after a few hours. And, I email-ed and called their tech support number, leaving messages.

But, they always got back to me and were very courteous, explaining my order would take a little just longer to process. Always American, I think I may have even talk to ‘Joe’, the owner the last time I was phone verified (Not sure though). Which was also completely painless and I felt confident I could trust him and his services. Then, we chatted about the weather in my state and how he was from a near-by city that is cool to visit for its scenery.

Great job, MOGBroker! You guys are for real! And I would never trust anyone else!

And yes, their Customer Service girls are GREAT to flirt with when you’re drunk!


We are happy to have you at mogbroker. Thanks for the feedback.

Well my experience has been nothing but positive and I am not paid in anyway by mogbroker. I would not have a problem using them again in the future as they delivered my gold on time with no hassle. I will be doing business with them in the future no matter how many posts I make on a forum.  
Comment by kane357 on 22-02-2008 11:52 PM
 
Superstargodess. We decided to refund you due to the Chinese New Yea, wow gold is primarily supplied from China, and the new years creates a huge delay in wow gold deliveries. This is over, and we are back up and running with fast deliveries.

In regards to the scripted comments. I can guarantee you they are not scripted. I live in the USA, we do not have farming shops here with multiple ip's.

Thanks for taking the time to repost your experiences, superstargoddess.

These people are American, I can verify that. But my experience was horrible. I waited for FOUR DAYS for them to get only 300 GOLD for me. And then they canceled it, without me telling them to cancel it. That is pretty pathetic that their suppliers can't get 300 WoW gold after four whole days!

If you think that it's worth waiting a really long time to maybe perhaps get your gold just to deal with american people, then go for it. But I know that I will be dealing with the foreign people from now on. They may take a bit longer than they say they will (like 6 hours), but at least they get your gold to you and don't make you wait four days and then cancel the order!

(And some of these fake reviews on here are so scripted sounding that it is sad)

Two possible reasons:

a) It was not related to mogbrokers.com but a different domain that might no longer be affiliated with the company

b) It got accidentally deleted in a recent 'forum-hiccup' (mentioned also on the front page). In this case, please feel free to repost your review.

You can't go wrong with MogBroker. I will stay with them b/c they always come through and transactions are quick and painless. Excellent customer service!

Looking forward to more business in the future--

I have purchased from Mogbroker several times. All I've purchased is EVE Online Currency.

Never had a problem. If delivery was going to take time they would let me know and I have always gotten my product. I think I've purchased 6 or 7 times over the course of a year.

I recommend them for EVE currency without any reservations.

Another great experience with MogBroker. Definitely can't go wrong with them. I highly recommend them. A++++++++ and might I add that this is my 2nd deal with them, so you're one post wonder hyping the company don't apply here.

Lol - some sellers offer general discounts for anyone that leaves a positive feedback. It's often not that hard to track, but also not as bad as one might think. Since unsatisfied customers see that just as well and know where to go to leave bad feedback, this can easily backfire for unreliable shops.

The ISPs (not just the IPs) are different for all reviews here. Given that a lot of shops operate their gold farms with their own private proxies, that doesn't necessarily mean something.

We'll introduce an editorial rating as well as 'reliable seller badges' soon. That will take care of this problem to a certain extent.

PJ, Carebear: Isn't it a little too obvious that these "one post wonders" are the companies spamming "reviews" about their websites?  
Comment by futang on 27-01-2008 6:14 PM
 
My experience with MOGBroker has been excellent as always. The verification process gives me more piece of mind, so it was not a big deal to me. I like to know that I am dealing with people who take their business seriously and handle themselves in a professional manner, and MOGBroker certainly does that. I have purchased gold from them a couple of times and will continue to do so in the future having nothing but the utmost confidence in them to deliver exactly what they say they can deliver.

My experience with mogbroker was excellent. Almost as soon as i had made payment, i was called to verify and as soon as i was verified i recieved gold shortly after.

I am a very happy customer.

Thanks again mogbroker.

The live chat is not in english and as for the interview above saying its a small american business, I doubt that somehow, the person I spoke to didnt even understand my questions and i was struggling to understand what they were trying to say.

I’m afraid my experience was very similar to Stuffy’s…

Before I even placed an order I spoke with their online support to verify if they had the gold in stock, and how long it would take them to deliver the gold… I was told that it would be delivered upon payment…

To see if this was true, I decided to try their service first and only bought 100gold, which was 8bucks. I send the payment using a Verified Paypal account.
An hour later I still did not receive anything, go back to online support and I'm told to call them to resolve this, i call and goes to voice mail... Back to the online support and I'm told that the verification team won't be online for four hours more... Five hours later i call them and still went to the answering machine...

Back to the online support, I'm told that it will be three to four hours more before the verification team can logon, all this time i had been waiting online since i know what can happen to gold left in the mailbox...

I reminded her that she told me the same thing five hours ago, also how before i even placed the order I asked to make sure if they would be able to deliver it upon payment... I ask that if they are unable to provide the gold, to talk with a manager about getting me a refund...

… Hours later I receive a phone call to the cell phone number I left them, the punk at the other end of the line starts yelling right off the bat, using extremely vulgar language… all this while my little 9 year old cousin was sitting right next to me, in fact she answered the call...

Overall:
Extremely disappointed in their lack of professionalism, in the fact that they would even hire immature little punks… Their online support is someone who can barely communicate in English and this with the help of an online translator...

I highly recommend this site. I received all my orders promptly and the customer service was very good, as well as the live chat. I have made two orders with this site, and each has been highly satisfactory.

Thank you MogBroker!!

Unfortunately you are not a verified customer and did not follow through with the basic verification of having a home telephone number and being consistent on your registration. I understand your frustration but i assure you i understood every word you said, you are obviously just trying to bash. We take fraud and verification very seriously and if you can not be verified we will send a refund.

There are plenty better that this.

The MOGbroker was great to do business with. Exchanges went very smoothly, and things were paid promptly and his price policy is great for both buying and selling. Would definitely do business with him again if needed, in fact I will go to him first because I know I can trust him.

Mogbroker ftw.
