While some users report successful transactions, the overwhelming sentiment highlights issues with reliability, as many orders remain undelivered for extended periods despite confirmations. Customers frequently describe interactions with support as unhelpful, often receiving generic responses that fail to address specific concerns. This pattern of dissatisfaction suggests a pressing need for the company to enhance its operational efficiency and improve customer support to restore trust and credibility.

I had used IGE for gold purchase for many years (even beck thru Everquest). Did not need any for a number of years in Wo0W; and was reluctant to use them again after all the negative reviews here. I decided to gamble and was glad I did. Ordered close to 69k. Got 50k within 24 hours, and remainder in 2 days.
This company is pure fraud. I only ordered the bare minimum of gold so I was only out 19.99. It's been over a week past the 24 hour deadline for delivery. The same as everyone else rating this crap site, nothing but excuses. I have since filed a fraud claim with my bank. I am filing with the Cyber Fraud Division in both the U.S. and in the U. K. where their 3rd party pay site is located. Skillrx/moneybookers. I would recommend that everyone do the same. File with PayPal, File with your bank. File a fraud report with your respective government agencies. Spread the word, Shut this piece of crap business down.
I bought gold on this site. After buying the gold i read some scary reviews and got kinda freaked out that it would take days to get my gold. However i am pleasantly surprised and happy to say that i received my gold 4 hours after ordering. That's great! I will be ordering again. OCT 7 2013
Ordered ******* gil 2-3 days agon live support my $#*! they havnt delivered nor will the respond to any emails any1 know a phone number for them
I ordered currency and picked the wrong server for FF14. When I noticed the mistake I contacted them and was informed they didn't provide currency for the server I was on yet. (if was a new server).
The immediately offered me a refund rather then attempting to hold onto the order. Overall this site while somewhat slower and more costly then other gold sites practices great business.
About 5 years ago they were excellent, i would always buy from them because they delivered! Just tried it last week and its been 7 days for 30k gold and they just keep on making excuses, Seems they got all popular and no longer care.
This used to be a good way to buy gold, but not anymore. Now this resource is crap. They get your money and then they don't deliver - and they are using all possible ways to cheat you - from fake "delivery" emails (for example at the time you wasn't even online they say there was a face-to-face delivery) followed by "investigation" followed by promisses of redelivery which never happened - to monthes of excuses. My last order is 3 months old and honestly I don't hope to get it at all. Stay away from this piece of crap!
First of all the wow gold is not nearly as cheap as other sites so for that reason I am giving IGE a 2 star and second it takes FOREVER to get your gold and I was almost thinking this was a scam site. The only reason I am giving IGE a 2 star instead of 1 is they did deliver the gold. I am not sure I will try this site for anything on D3.
They might have been really good and reliable once upon a time, but that time most certainly ISNT now. I ordered from them at 8pm LAST night and the person that took my order online assured me that I would get my gold in 1 hour, at the most, 3, because my server was FULLY stocked and their usual 24 hours would not apply. Well, she kept telling me I had to stay LOGGED IN to my character because there was a very good chance of me being banned if I did not pick up my gold IMMEDIATLY after it was delivered. So I got on my main and I waited. An hour had passed, I waited some more. 3,4 hours passed, and I was passing out. Hoping they would send an email like she said they would do, I set my alarm loud for email notifications, and went to sleep. I woke up at 6:30 this morning, checked my main, nothing, checked my email, nothing. Waited some more. Finally around 8am I tried logging onto their site and seeing if there was a reason for the holdup. I tracked my order and it said the same ol thing it said 5 min after I bought it. That my order was in the process of being sent to me IMMEDIATLY. So. I tried accessing their 24/7 online chat support. No mater WHAT option I selected, all it kept sending me to was to EMAIL THEM. Would NOT let me speak to ANYONE. After reading how they answer all their emails in an hour, I decided to give it a shot. This was at 8am. It is now almost 10:30am and nothing back from them. No gold. No reply. They have NO contact telephone number. Worst experience I have ever ever had. Going to report them to paypal for fraud.
I have used this site in the past for WoW gold with absolutely no problems. I recently purchased currency for Aion and have been waiting 14 DAYS and still no delivery. All I get are apologies for how long it is taking. Had I know that the delivery would take this long I would have never ordered. I understand that Aion is not as popular a game as WoW, but if you can't deliver the currency, just say so and don't take my money!
Paid for my gold received a conformation email. Then received a fake Blizzard email with a fake link *us. Battlle. Account yadda yadda, saying i needed to verify my account. However the email I used for ige and the one I use for my gaming account are different. Basically its a scam, they look my money and then tried to send me to a fake web site to record account name and pass word. AVOID THIS SITE.
This sites delivery process sucks $#*! they are by far one of the slowest sites I ever felt with and all they do is keep making excuses for the length of time it takes to deliver and order. Mmoxe is the site I normally use but used ige due to issues with Mmoxe not loading when check out. Ige can piss off don't waste your mony there are cheaper and far quicker sites that will deliver within an hour of purchase that are just as reputable as ige.
Being a businessman myself, I look at Life as I am a Problem Solver. If someone has a problem, I have a solution.
My problem: I need credits for SWTOR
IGE.com's solution: Buy credits from us
Simple and straight forward, right?
My problem: I need credits for SWTOR
IGE.com 's solution: Buy credits from us (we will gladly take your money, jerk you around forever without any concrete reason why we have not delivered, repeated attempts to obtain details but get multiple standard format replies with the same "We usually deliver within 24 hours").
I have done business with this website in the past with little issue, but this has certainly changed my opinion of the site. Either they have changed owners or just given up taking care of their customers.
To start off right at the point, I use PayPal for all my internet purchases. This site is so bad that even with an open claim with PayPal, they come up with excuse after excuse to excuse their obligation to deliver paid for goods that have been confirmed. The money for my purchased item has been confirmed by PayPal and was already removed from my bank account. The site guarantees 24 hour deliver, since most people who buy these goods don't have the time to "grind" for them. It has been over 72 hours, and this site has become completely non-responsive, and unreachable. There is no live help, or contact, and they are all Chinese. I want the world to know of this site and their rude replies back to me through PayPal. They want to take your money and run. Not only did they not deliver, but they also sent me a virus attached to an email with a Keylogger attached, to boot. This company hides behind their internet name, with malicious side hack attmepts to steal your personal information. DO NOT USE THIS SITE!
I had been hesitant about buying gold for my wow account but finally bit the bullet. I used IGE although they weren't the cheapest they have been around the longest. I ordered over 20k in gold and was worried at first as I only got 1300g in the mail but soon after I got another 8k and the rest shortly after that. They say you get your order within 24 hours and I got my total order in less then that. I would highly recommend using IGE for your in game currency purchases and if I have the need in the future I will use them again.
I just made a order from IGE a couple days ago, 8000gold. I read these reviews and read a history on IGE before i made my order. Even though IGE has improved a lot from 2008-2010. It all summed up. It was still risky to buy gold online. However I took the risk and ordered from IGE anyways. I ordered from IGE because, they are most reputable company. From 1-10. I give IGE a "10." My ordered was to be mailed... In WoW there is about a 1hour wait for mail between virtual characters. I recieved my gold through mail, about one 1/2 hour after I made the order. No hassle. No Talk. No wisper. Just a simple mail. I'm very happy. I would recommend IGE to anyone.
On another note. The history I read about IGE. The company went bad around 2006-2008. Someone bought out IGE and rebuilt their service. They have much better service now, from my experience and othe 2008-2010 reviews. I'm guessing it just depends and varies on which server and which MMO your playing on.
I wouldnt recommend this company to anyone. Ive waited over 48 hours for 2000 gold which doesnt take that long to farm for.
I think when ever you are buying virtual items or services such as power leveling, there are going to be issues and problems. The reason I usually choose this site for gold is that they have been around for quite some time and are at least run by a decent real company and not some fake chinese site. Here is an article on the company by wired magazine even.

Answer: Bank of WoW has been consistently good in prompt delivery and at the price negotiated... the only thing you have to remember about them is the auction house is their delivery method and the AH will take a cut out of the item you "sold".
