A European World of Warcraft player apparently sold his Night Elf rogue with the coveted Twin Blades of Azzinoth for €7,000, or around $9,500.
The legendary swords drop from the infamous Illidan Stormrage in an end-game dungeon. They’re incredibly rare, so much so that only two people in the world have them. Supply and demand dictate that such items would be worth a ton; in this case, the buyer was willing to pay nearly $10k for the whole account, which included a bunch of other good gear.
The buyer immediately transferred to a new server and began PvPing. You can view his WoW Armory profile here.
There’s some speculation that due to the amount of publicity this story received, Blizzard stepped in with the banhammer for Shaks. Fool needs to learn to keep his mouth shut — talk about a waste of cash.
