    and later they say i have to get ANOTHER one bevore i can use the real one.


    Thats telling lies to make more sales...


    Dont tell me, wha thats becouse its p2p.
     
    I already payed 40 =/

     

    ???????

    The cheapest you can buy the game for is $50.00 US Dollars brah, which includes a month free. You're doing something dramatically wrong here.

     

    he means euros not dollars brah lol

     

    Not my fault he didn't specify what the hell he was talking about. But thanks for clarifying, bruh. (:

    "IRL is a pretty upstanding MMO with thousands of classes, a lot of PvP and even some pretty unique emotes and titles you can acquire. Explore that world first, then we'll talk about this virtual one."

    I think many in this thread misunderstands OP..
    I think he means that he wants to activate the game via a "prepaid game card" not credit card..
    If he wants to activate the game via a "gamecard" you actually have to BUY that one extra, and there is no refund for the gamecard.
    And unless he actually has a gamecard there is no way to activate the account..
    Unless ofcourse he uses a credit card, but that has been brought up already, and I'm guessing he doesn't have one..
    The game get's very expensive if you do NOT own a credit card since you must also buy a pre-paid game card to be able to activate the game to get the "FREE Month"
    game box 50$ + gamecard 20$

    You can use PayPal to activate the account. I just read through the site FAQ and it stated that much clearly. And PayPal covers ALL payment methods. CC, BankTransfer, DebitCard, take your pick. 
     
    Calling out a scam because he can't be bothered to apply a bit of logic to this is, frankly, stupid.

     
    Calling out a scam is over the top, but he still got a point..
    And Paypal is for many a dubious system (Not that it's true but it has a bad rumour)And I'm guessing that many parents won't let their kids transfer money to pay-pal.


    You dont even need to transfer money to Pay-Pal, just link it to your Bank Account and pay dirrectly ..<

    Yes but that doesn't change the fact that many looks upon Pay Pal as a scammy company, it certainly isn't warrented in my experience but that is how it is. I have many friends that refuse to use Pay Pal based on these rumors.


    It's easy for all of us to be judgemental when most of us get's to use or own a creditcard, if you are a teen today and have to convince your parents that their is nothing wrong in paying or using your credit card online etc etc, Some older generation deosn't think it's safe to purchase goods or make transaktions via the web.

    This leaves such a kid with one option and that is a pre paid gamecard.

    Calm down man i think u are overthinking the situation. Far as i know, i have never been charged for a free month. If u are correct in your accusations, it would be misleading customers.

    Ok I have been reading though this thread, only made it about half way there. And here is a link from the aion site as if you were going to buy it from there, and it says the same thing on the box.

    https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/Store.pl?dnv=3379317688&action=viewItem&item_id=145

    Also, If this is your first MMO then I could understand the miss understanding about the payment thing. But if you been to a MMO BBQ party before, then you know you are going to Messy. And what I mean is that If you cant use one or the other of CC or Paypal, which is what I used, then you should now that buying a time card is a Choice not something you are forced to do in this day. You can get Visa and MC debt cards from Walmart, Paypal is as big as CC now onling payments. And they have made it very clear you where going to have to set up a payment option for the future if you keep playing it. So, if you CHOICE to use the time card option then you know that your stuck for 2 months not just one, BUT they do give you that 30 days free, Or from the pre orders you get 37 days free. IF they didnt give you 30 Days free then you wouldnt have gotten 30 days before they bill you, OR WOUDNT GET 2 MONTHS for a 30 day time card. Come people stop just jumping off the sidewalk and then getting hit by a car then screaming why is there a car in the street.

    Rumours are rumours, i've been using PayPal for the last 8 years quite often, I never had any trouble, ever.

    Not sure where people get rumours from, PayPal is acknowledged wordwide, be it Ebay, Markplaats heck even lots of MMO's put them up for payment, ticket company's you name it.

    Sure you can get scammed THROUGH (not by) Paypal, in the end you can always file a dispute with your bank or with paypal and they will resend your money within a week.

    I do remember a time when all sorts of creditcard details were compromised through Paypal, but that was a long time ago. I still use it avidly without any problems up to this date (knock on wood).

    Okay, so.

    You don't want to get charged on your credit card, gotcha. But you still need to put in credit card info.  After the game is activated, remove your credit card info. Now insert your Pre paid game card info.

    Uh oh, you don't like Aion now? Well, that sucks. Since you decided to buy the PPGC, you lose out on that money since you already bought the card.  See if a friend will buy the game/card.

    Had you left in your credit info, or even just removed it and waited till let's say, the last week of the trial month to decide if you like it, you would have saved yourself money.

    Yes and hopefully It will get better in time, but such incidents stays long in peoples minds, to long unfortunatly. Often it's other scam artists that uses Pay Pal name to get credit card info via e-mail etc..This all creates bad reputation for pay pal and many times it also creates a romour that it's actually is Pay Pal that scams people.

    ok see im wondering whats with the pre paid card cuz when i went to gamestop and to walmart i couldnt find a pre paid card at all for aion  and when i bought lotro mom i didnt have to put in cc info it actually gave me the option to choose prepaid card for subscription and i never had a card it didnt require me to put in a game time card or anything else to let me play the game i bought  aion you cant start playing until they make sure they will get paid which is still shady in my book

    Aion betrays all of his fans in Europe and North America!
    When you buy aion, you get a ''Game Activation Card''  Thats what it says.
    Also it says: This card gives you 1 month of gameplay.
    so,, Game Activation, and 1 month gameplay.
     
    BUT NOW!:
    Recent events has shown that you need to  pay for ANOTHER card, 1 month to play!
    So we are DUBBEL PAYING becouse NCSOFT has made new rules!
    DUBBEL?! WTF?! I know spelling is a really low point on these forums and very few people really care about it but.....my god! Thats quite impressive 
    This is a SCAM, we payed to get the game and activate it, and what do we get?
    We get to buy ANOTHER CARD!
     
    We got scammed.

    At day 29 Log in and Delete the Credit card info to avoid charge. asuming you didn't like the game and dont want to keep paying.

     

    You don't need to wait until day 29. Just cancel the sub as soon as your done confirming. I do this for all my p2p games.

    Call you a sinner... call you a saint...

     

    After this thread I think everyone is thinking of a different thing to call you..

     

    Mainly a dumb ass.
