I used this, I used to buy a select few of my friends and I this when our gold ran out. Sad to see this is going. :(


yeah i had this too, just for me and my brother with the addition of the account you have to use to "control the family" and it was totally worth the 99$ for an entire year of gold. sad to see this be axed.


It's a great deal if you have enough accounts to use the gold on...


Or if you have 4 friends who want gold.


Yeah I always used to do that with my friends
