Most expensive World of Warcraft account

In September 2007, a World of Warcraft account for a level-70 night elf rogue called "Zeuzo" was reported to have been sold for almost £5,000 (€7,000). The account was able to attract such a high fee because it featured "magical" items such as the twin Warglaives of Azzinoth, owned by only a few WoW players. These powerful elements had been rewarded to the character's previous for completing some of the game's most difficult challenges. Although the new owner is said to have renamed the character "Shaks" and moved it to another server, it seems that this was all for nothing. Blizzard reportedly banned the account for the controversial practice of selling in-game accounts and items, which they claimed was in breach of their terms and conditions.
