Bought two US Epic accounts about 5 days ago. First one had main characters transferred off of it (seems like the owner had two accounts) but still managed to get the 4th anniversary FoS (and the Baby Blizzard Bear) and a rare recipe that could potentially sell for a decent amount of gold (~10k). Second had absolutely nothing despite being paid for years, no transfers or anything. Not too sure if they had deleted characters but I didn't want to risk a GM ticket.
Both accounts got banned after a few days which is to be expected for US accounts but I still kept the FoS. I may buy more but I was just super unlucky I guess.
