Runescape Gold Site Reviews - Best RS Gold Website?

Hey, I'm R2Pleasent. Many will recognize me here on Rune-Server as an RS Gold seller. I have been buying/selling RS Gold since Original Free Trade in 2007. This post will look at Runescape Gold sites and review them, to try and find the best RS Gold Website.

Let's start with basic criteria:

1) Customer Support (Rate from 1 to 5)
--> For example: Live Chat agents speak fluent English, ability to help you with problems

2) Price (For 100M)
--> Very straightforward, which sites have the best prices?

3) Delivery Speed
--> Which sites have the fastest delivery times?

4) Overall Experience
--> Just an overall review of your experience as a whole using the website

Let's start with my website, R2Pleasent.com. Today is November 16, 2012. I may be biased, I own the company, but this is my review:

Brief Description: R2Pleasent.com is a website which buys and sells Runescape Gold. It was created in 2007 by a Canadian who was an avid RS player up until 2006. Throughout its 5 year+ existence, the company has delivered orders through trading, Bounty Hunter (2008), Grand Exchange (2009-10), and trading/staking (2011-present). The organization became recognized through forums across the Runescape Black Market, and now serves over 5,000 unique customers each year.

1) Customer Service. R2Pleasent.com has agents from Canada, USA, Europe, and Asia. We cover nearly all time zones, and all of our operators are fluent in English. They are all extremely well trained to deal with problems, and are empowered to make their own decisions when dealing with conflict. Many of our customers we know well, and have become good friends. We allow trade via stake or direct trade.

Rating: 5.0

2) Price. Currently 100M on R2Pleasent.com (with NRPK coupon) is $48.02.

Price: $48.02

3) Delivery Speed. We do not ask for photo ID on 100M orders, like some sites. We also have plenty of stock, so there should never be any delays in ordering. Average delivery time is ~3 minutes. Some additional verification required for large orders.

Rating: 4.0

4) Overall Experience. R2Pleasent.com is a gamer-friendly website with customer support agents who speak fluent English and have empowerment in decisions. Delivery times are very fast. 100M is under $50 USD, and bulk discounts are available. The owner is very active in the website (he's writing this right now!).

Overall: 4.5



Next: Gold4Fun (formerly Gold4RS)

Brief Description: Runescape Gold site based in China, operating under the company "Withgames". Their website describe themselves as: "We are a group of dedicated players who have come together to provide services for the community so that you, our fellow players, will be able to enjoy your play time to the fullest."

1. Customer Service. Slow, impersonal. "Hilary" told us we could not order exactly 100M, and had to order 100 + 20M bonus. There was no option for 100M. She gave short, slow responses to all our questions. Felt like a big company with one-two overworked staff members. Was able to stake or trade.



Rating: 2

2. Price. 100+20M bonus costs $63.58. This works out to $53 for 100M.

Price: $52.99

3. Delivery Times. Gold4Fun claimed that they could deliver the order within 10 minutes. They claimed not to require Photo ID.

Rating: 3

4. Overall Experience. Feels like you're buying from a Chinese farming site. You'll get what you paid for, eventually, but if anything goes wrong, expect huge delays. You'll need to find their manager, because Live Chat agents have 0 power to help you with anything beyond a perfectly regular order.

Rating: 2.5



Next, let's check out USFine

Brief Description: USFine is also a Chinese gold selling website, with a bit smaller feel. Their website describes their service: "Usfine has more than 5 years experience in MMORPG field. Our advantage is our LOW PRICE. It is easy to find out that our prices are lower than most other sites. Why our prices are usually lower than other sites? Because we monitor our competitors prices and try to make the lowest prices all the time. But please note low prices does not mean poor quality or service. Our successfully running in past 5 years can prove everything."

1. Customer Service. Faster replies than Gold4Fun. Agent was only able to answer simple questions. Could not stake the gold via duel arena.

Rating: 2.5

2. Price. USFine really does have quite cheap rates. Same issue as Gold4Fun, could not purchase 100M flat, had to use the amounts listed on the site. 120M = $55.27

Price: $46.06 for 100M

3. Delivery Speed. Biggest problem, USFine asked me for my Driver's License on a small 108M order. Was unwilling to deliver until this was completed. Usually, gold allow these sized orders to process without providing photo ID. This was a disappointment with USFine, and severely slows down the delivery speed.

Rating: 1.0

4. Overall Experience. I was surprised with USFine's low prices, and quick customer service reps. However, they did not know what stake trade was, and they required a ton of verification for the order. Overall, I can say the experience was better than Gold4Fun (better have your driver's license handy!)

Rating: 3.0


More websites will be added.  These reviews were made by using the Live Support on each website and asking a variety of questions such as:

- Price for 100M RS Gold
- How long delivery will take
- Is stake trade available?
- What information do you need to verify the order?

Hopefully these reviews of RS Gold Sites allow you to make better decisions when purchasing RS Gold / Money.  Good luck!
