Introduction
It seems that there is really little ressource on the web about Toonstorm despite it's a good company to buy accounts (or sell). They have been victim of scammers (mostly supported by MMowned cheaters) and have been having issues between 2007 and 2008.
Keep in mind that they speak a really fluent and perfect English and that most of the complaints quoting them on the Internet look like fakes. They don't speak or write like kids. You might think that their prices are quite expensive. I will tell you that most of the time you get what you paid for. It's not uncommon to see people buying accounts cheaper. It's alos pretty common to see people getting ripped off for trying to get a really low price. Keep in mind that 50% cheaper with a 50% chance to be scammed is like lottery and isn't the way established website usually choose.
Since Jan 09 there is absolutely nothing wrong about them. We search every forum, complaint boards and they seem to be really clean. Anyway, we have been doing some serious digging about them and here is the result. We hope that it will help you to decide whether or not you will deal with them.
Ease of use
Toonstorm got a very clean and ordinary but efficient layout. The user will immediately realize that the site is of potential use to them or not and the great readability of the website will help you find your way to what you need in a few seconds. The navigation system is really functional and download times are pretty decent even during U.S. prime time. Their fast navigation system (internal links, quick order form, and so on) make the purchasing process really pleasant and fast.

WoW Accounts Review Blog
It’s been a great month the weather’s beautiful and the sun is shining here in sunny AZ! One thing I didn’t count on when I started writing this blog is how hard it’d be to find someone to test buy every month for me, I’ve actually got one lined up soon though - a guy’s getting back from Iraq and has promised to take up wow account plans on buying an account. He’s my uncle so we should be able to get a first hand look at whatever wow account site we decide to try! This past weekened I went to Toonstorm, the site I reviewed last month just to kind of do a follow up, check their ratings etc. I don’t want to send people somehwere bad - and all is still good there. I did notice one change though however they have a pretty sweet new account selling option which can save a buyer a good amount of money.
It basically means that you’re able to purchase the account without moving it onto another account. This option can set the account down considerably in the price department. I was looking at a hunter for example normally priced 525, slashed to 375 and then down to about 275 after that for an INCREDIBLY stacked account. I think prices drop a bit comming into the summer - more kids looking for beer money I suppose - so it’s a pretty good time to buy an account, and with the new option and over 3000 wow accounts it’s still the best bet I’ve found.

Toonstorm is Legit :)
A few months back, my boyfriend and I decided to sell our WoW accounts because the game became much more of a pain and much less of a game like it was supposed to be. It took me a good week to find a site that I felt was legitimate but we finally settled on Toonstorm which turns out to be a great choice! If you are thinking of selling your account, I highly recommend using this site. It does take a while to input all of your gear and details, however they try to make it as easy as possible. After using a form to list all gear and stats, you go into a live chat with a representative who gets some more details from you such as PayPal email and the like. THEN after that, someone from Toonstorm actually calls you on the phone to verify that you want to sell and that the PayPal address is correct. Once everything was finished, L33tz0r and I were still a little skeptical about whether or not they were going to pay us. I checked my PayPal account in a few days and the money was there! With the money, we were able to buy new copies of WoW and start completely fresh. We had tried just not logging onto our level 70 characters for a while but were always tempted back. Now that we sold our accounts, we were truly able to start over. Instead of playing 5 hours a day, we play maybe 1 hour a day and only a few times a week. The game is fun again!! I think I’d like to raid again, but I’m going to take my time getting there and I won’t get so immersed in it.
ToonStorm.com Complaints - Fraud and scam! (2008)
I sold and account to ToonStorm.com 2 days ago. They made me give them all of the information for the account and complete control of the account before they would send payment. They even called me on the phone and asked me a bunch of personal questions to verify I was legit. Finally they sent the payment for the account via paypal, but when I woke up the next morning they had opened a dispute on the payment stating(and I quote) Now they will not speak to me about getting control of my account back and any time I go onto their customer service they just refuse to respond!! BEWARE OF TOONSTORM!! YOU COULD LOSE EVERYTHING!!!
Everything else on Complaints Board since 2007
Most complaints are quite outdated. Anyway, it's up to you to decide.
Transactions
At Toonstorm, you may only buy accounts for 3 MMORPGs.
Purchasing
Toonstorm got a pretty efficient purchase system. You will have a very straightforward transaction in a few clicks. All deliveries are conducted face-to-face in-game, but Swagvault tries to make this as easy as possible. You select your normal playtime hours so that you are not interrupted. Payment wise they only offer Paypal to process credit cards (you don’t need an account) and Money Order.
Repeat customers
They only use coupons code.
Pricing Policy
Delivery
Feature set
Their feature set is quite standard but also well designed and well documented.
Summary
Toonstorm is a secure company who seem to also own Accounts.com (they share the same affiliate program and links). They have a real refund policy or any guarantee. Their agents speak excellent English. They are pretty honest on ETAs and their whole process. They are a reliable, safe, secure company. Overall we felt that Toonstorm was a very efficient and safe site to make accounts purchases. Their customer service was top of the line and quickly responded to any question that arose during the purchase process. The site was relatively easy to use and easy to navigate through. We would definitely recommend it.
Buying Wow Accounts on ToonStorm.com
I am going to be investing $329.00 in a level 70 human paladin. Even though this website is very user friendly and promises a 100% security guarantee, I’m always a little skeptical on a big purchase - they do appear to have some pretty good feedback though from other users who have used them to buy wow accounts. It is now 9:50 am and I am placing my order, hopefully this site is as trustworthy as it looks, I will keep you updated!
9:55 am
It has only been five minutes since I went onto ToonStorm.com to buy a wow account and placed my order. I have already received an email confirming my order. What has really put me at ease about my order to is not the email itself, but the ability I have to actually track my order. This website seems to really go the extra mile when it comes to serving nervous customers such as myself. It looks like my order is still being processed, with any luck it will be good to go soon. As always I will be keeping you posted.
10:04 am
The order has been delivered, and in a very reasonable amount of time! I just received a very convenient email informing me that my account is ready. This website seems to have their act together and delivery a quality product.
