My first order around a year ago from swagvault was a simple powerlevel of 6 levels. They did it fine they grinding me some nice money they didn't use any bots (watched them from another account) it went incredibly well and i put alot of trust into them
I then ordered some gold although slow delivery it was delivered in the end.
I started work not long ago and lacked time to level an alt so i ordered another powerleveling. This time though they started using programs although not for long they were still using them. They would also sign out of small periods of time wondering if something was up i made sure all my toons on that account was on the friends list of the account i was currently on
Next thing i know surprise surprise each of my character one by one start coming online going to where ever there earthstone is and then logging of. I raced to log of my account and log into my main account but by the time i was logged on and ready to change my password they already had done
Luckily after blizzard investigated my account everything was restored and swagvault gave me a partial refund. I think swagvaults got alot of problems and people should stay clear or be very careful when ordering from them.
I've been in contact recently with swagault again and order 2 levels. I found during week times for players to come on they would have this thing called "General Pause time" In which they stop playing so your account doesn't get anyone wondering why you've been on X amount of hours
Anyway during this time i watched the level 1 areas just to see and look what i see a new lvl 1 created with the name yjkst (something like that) Related to my account or not it is rather suspicious
Hi, just to pay it forward to all of you- here is a little of the e-mail exchange I had with Swagvault after 5 gold was ripped off my character by their company when I logged back in after they had got done with their meagre power leveling service. May you not make the same mistake I made with them- to keep your hard earned money from going down the drain. For your edification and amusement:
1) TO SWAGVAULT:
"Hi,
Serious problem with my order. It looks like you spent all of my gold, are you kidding ? I did not ask you to touch my money- and in fact paid you for that gold.
I want it reimbursed. I had over 5 gold before yesterday and now I have 47 silver and 28 copper! Give me a minimum of 6 gold to re-imburse me and we will call it even? Clearly you are not in your rights to totally bankrupt my character for no reason… Tell me what you think is fair ?
...Thanks in advance,"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO RESPONSE
whereby I decided to escalate things and file a dispute with Paypal.
2) FROM SWAGVAULT:
"Hi
Thank you for choosing SwagVault for your gaming needs, we value your business.
After reviewing our records, it appears that the PayPal payment for your order is currently On Hold pending a complaint resolution. Your order has been delivered and we have made every effort in making it a smooth and convenient transaction. Therefore, we hope that your complaint was filed in error and would like you to contact PayPal to remove it. Your order information is copied below for your convenience:"
3) TO SWAGVAULT:
"It was not filled in error, and my order was not delivered by your company.
Whoever your employee was that played my character last time spent almost every cent on my character- over 5 gold which was the same gold I purchased from you. So in reality, your company delivered approximately 1.5 gold as you took the remainder....
Therefore, ... these are in dispute and I want reimbursement in the form of either a trade for services or a refund. Replacing the gold stolen, or perhaps an acknowledgment that this is not your standard practice would be a good first step."
4) FROM SWAGVAULT:
"Hi,
Thank you for your mail and info.
We are sorry to hear that. But for your order, we have checked carefully for several times and make sure that we have sent your order to you. We have strict mail tracking mechanism and record every delivery that we have made. That condition is confusing. But recently there have been some cases like yours and it turned out to be that the Blizzard confiscated the gold mailed to our clients. We guess your order may be among this. So we suggest you contact Blizzard and ask them for help in this matter.
We are also the victim as you. Hope for your understanding.
Any more question with our service, plz feel free to come to us. :)
Best wishes, "
---------------------------------
(Just an FYI fellow readers- this is LOTRO and not WoW... WHAT DOES BLIZZARD HAVE TO DO WITH IT ?!)
5) TO SWAGVAULT:
"Let me clarify:
....
This is not complicated, and you cannot pass the buck as this has nothing to do with Blizzard. And I am not going to stop disputing this with Paypal either, as this is totally clear cut and resisting just doing the right thing and re-reimbursing me is not going to help either of us.
Here again, step by step- is what occurred with the gold. If you have any questions please ask and read this carefully as you do not seem to understand the issue.
1)
I received it just fine, Blizzard did not confiscate the gold. I ordered a variety of services with you after receiving the gold. All in all whoever played the character spent hardly anything and if anything it was reasonable "wear and tear" maybe 500 silver or so more or less- and completely understandable.
The last guy- YOUR EMPLOYEE not Blizzard- played the character for another $5.98 8 hour Powerleveling session.
BEFORE this session I had over 5 gold.
AFTER the session I had approximately 40 silver and 35 copper.
If you do not see this is blatantly wrong and I need an apology and a refund- and/or re-reimbursement than there is something wrong with the communication process here.
All I am asking is you do the right thing with this obvious situation.
...
Thanks,"
--------------------------------------
Interlude, whereby I attempt to use the chat service and am told that I stole my own gold- and was promptly ignored.
6) To SWAGVAULT:
"Hi,
Not sure if you are keeping track but I've moved on since you had my gold ripped off... and offered me nothing for recompense.
Your reaction was to basically say that I had stolen the gold myself and then ignore me. Essentially calling me a liar and refusing to help me. Good show.
I also found it was amusing that one of your reps thought that "Blizzard" had stolen my gold- when the company running LOTRO is Turbine.
've already found another service that was far cheaper and has a better reputation- and is even 30% cheaper. I searched the net and your company is building a reputation for fraud, although at looks like at one time you were a decent company.
... Good luck with the fraud. Short term gain and then you will be shunned like the plague by the legion of competitors which will eat you alive for being so bafflingly maladept at customer service.
Live and learn, and I've moved on.
The law of Karma will definitely find you if you continue with this kind of business practice, too bad I had to be on the receiving end before it finds you."
-----------------------------------
AND their final response (you cant make this stuff up):
7) From Turbine:
"
Hi，
Thank you for your choosing us for your gaming service.
we are sorry for your losing but we are the same victim as you, so would you contact blizzard to get it back?
Any more question, plz feel free to come.:)

Your session has ended. You may now close this window.
I have had nothing but awful luck with swagvault. Here is my transcript of the convo:
Doug: I placed an order for 500 gold Friday, June 1, 2007. 1 x WOW US - Tortheldrin - Horde - 500 Gold (svwow000873) = $ 56.08 I logged on today at 3:30 pm EST. And I have received an in-game mail from a toon named Ongax. The subject line is "g"; It contained 70g.Saturday 6-2-07 I was told online by Allen that the rest would be coming in 12 to 24 hrs.48 hours later I still had no gold. I then talked to Azona and she said it would be coming in a few hours.The n I receive a phone call around 10:30pm est on 6-5-07 saying a delivery has been made of 88 gold. I get online and wait for over and hour and a half and still no gold. It has now been almost a week and I have only received 70 out of 500 gold that I ordered.I am getting tired of being lied to. I have been extremely patient in this matter and feel I'm getting no help at all. I would appreciate it if you could tell me where my other 430 gold is as soon as possible please.
Welcome Doug! Please hold while we contact a representative. If a representative does not respond in a few seconds, then he/she is not available at this time.Currently 5 chat request session(s) before you.
You are now speaking with Azona of Virtual Currency Service.
Azona: hi
Doug: hello

Azona: do you receive it?
Doug: I have only recieved 70
Doug: of 500
Azona: did you receive any call?
Doug: I've only recieved one phone call and i waited over an hour and a half and never recieved it

Azona: Thanks for your support. Good luck & have fun:)
Doug: iexcuse me?
Doug: i dont understand? i paid you and im not going to get what i paid for?
Doug: Am I or am I not going to get the rest of my gold?
Now they will not return any email or anything. I'm the stupid one here cause at the time of ordering the website said PayPal was experiencing difficulties and to use Google.
I ordered from this site that I found accidentally. I had just started my first experience with MMORPGs and was feeling a little overwhelmed. I know that buying gold and power leveling is "cheating" but 2 observations: 1 I the creators of the MMORPGs really didn't want this kind of activity there are many easily implementable methods to stop it. 2 For those hard core fanatics who spend 8-9 hrs a day leveling up, this practice is anathema, to you I say if you want top tier MMORPGs expandable content and evolution of the genre guess what it is going to take a few more subscription dollars than just you and your guild mates. Gold farming and power leveling allow the semi-casual gamer like me to enjoy the worlds that have been created.
In summation I have made two purchases of gold and had my character power leveled to 25. The site did deliver in a prompt and reasonable fashion and my power level character is now in the range that is fun and rewarding to play and is not a threat to any lvl 45-50 gamers out there. Swagvault is a good company and their chat although a little slow to respond, was helpful and answered my questions. I will purchase from them again in the future.
I agree I played WOW from day one, Nov 24, 2004. I work a ton and decided to allow SwagVault to get me from 60-70 I know its cheating but honestly I only wanted to raid with friends so I was not out there grieving people.
I have used Swag Vault years ago for gold and they were top-notch instant delivery and never a problem. They even gave me extra gold for my inconvenience but now it’s a total 360.
My account was hacked while they were on it, I saw my toon at a mail box and was like what the heck and I was not wearing my epic armor again double take I changed my password ASAP and contacted them the denied it and said that I must have sold all of my epic to blame them. Anyone who has ever played the game and gone weeks or months in a guild in BWL knows that they would NEVER do that.
So then I got a nifty letter from BLIZ saying that my account was permanently banned because I was involved in wrecking the global economy and my account was linked to other banned accounts and all of my tons GONE FOREVER!
My fault for trusting a company with my info but a lesson to be learned never TRUST SWAGVAULT
You heard it hear buyer beware they are bastards.
On a side note I filed a grievance with PayPal and got my money back but I still lost 12 characters on my account and now am starting all over…
It's not all bad. I've used swagvault many times for Warcraft gold and leveling. Always received my gold and they always blitzed through leveling for me.
Payed for Honor leveling, the day after i sent the info they send a mail that my password is changed so they cant continue the powerlevel until i restore it. So I get it back from Blizzards homepage and log in to the account to see that I miss all items Except the gear CURRENTLY equipped on the character i ordered powerlevel for. Now they refuse to admit the account got hacked and claim that since the char had some items left it wasn't a account hack.
I sure hope they enjoy the 5000+ gold and whatever they got for selling all my saved items, fu***ng gooks.
I do think swagvault.com is one of the best WoW service sites out there. I have been with a few different Websites that have failed to meet basic standards such as delivery time, actually receiving the order, and reasonable prices. However Swagvault seems to hit high marks in all these attributes and makes me a very happy customer. I plan to keep buying from Swagvault for a long time yet.
Dawnpersistent is full of crap. I have been trying to get Swagvault to either deliver gold or refund my money for days. If I don't have it by Monday, I am going to my bank and doing a charge back.
Yahh there a scam When I talked to Anna she wanted me to scan and email them my credit card, drivers license and or passport... WTF do you need all that for!!!
No response from Anna... glad it was only for a 5.50 loss!
Swagvault is the worst piece of trash website I have ever had the misfortune to visit. EVERY single time I have ordered gold they have not had it in stock. I get fed some long bullshit story and I know they're just reading lines off some sheet of paper. Yesterday I again tried to purchase from them. Waited a whole day and nothing and tried to call their number listed on the website. It just rings and rings and no one ever picks up. Live web is NEVER working. I managed to get someone on livehelp yesterday after trying for about 5 hrs. The guy I talked to said I had to physically wait online and that they would farm the gold within 2 hrs and that we do do an online trade???? What in the hell kind of crap is that? I waited three hrs and then got told that I wasn't online for the transfer and that they can't deliver the gold now Guess they sold it to someone else..lol. Even worse it was only a partial gold payment (300g when I actually ordered 1500g) But they were quick enough to take my payment from paypal. I demanded an immediate refund and reported the issue to paypal and also sent them and email about. Received the refund overnight!! Now THAT'S service!! Guess I'll just give up on them as I have given them numerous chances to prove themselves.
They say instant delivery and in the game I play it should be but it has not been. I have been waiting for days and have had no contact with them. They even wanted me to send them in a scanned copy of my drivers license and credit card. Lol like that would ever happen. So if you want to write or letter bomb them there is the contact info.
They were very rude and I am escalated through Paypal resolutions, with so many complaints against them I am sure to get the refund via Paypal, not worth the trouble, WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND SWAGVAULT, they were very rude!
Well I must admit I to have been a victim of fraud and file a complaint with Paypal. Regarding SwagVault. This company has send me numerous promises that if I remove the dispute with Paypal they will promise to deliver my gold. Well I dont trust them and they mess with the wrong person. I am going to have them investigated and will bring them down for justice. No one should abuse people who work for their hard earning money so someone can embezzle it. Dont they know is a Crime and they will not get away with it!! This company are scammers and they should be shut down and put away. You will not hear the last of me.
