1UP.com is reporting that in the battle between mmog players and the gold farmers, the gold farmers seem to have won another round. Allakhazam's Magical Realm reported today that they have been bought out by the parent company of IGE, one of the largest item selling companies out there, and the owners of Thottbot.com as well. While the moderators at Allakhazam's are stating that IGE's parent company has made sure to put the 2 in different divisions, gamer's aren't buying it.
Now I've had a lot of bad experiences with gold famers in World of Warcraft, so I'm not holding out much hope for Allakhazam's to be left unscathed. Personally, I'd advise to be very careful if you use them to price items before you toss them up in the auction house. Adding insult to injury, it was also revealed that Allakhazam's will be renamed Zam.com.
