    get a time card...

    like some other games, WoW (i guess) probably requires you to choose a payment option during the account creation process... using a purchased time card would be one of the options... you'll still get the free month and everything, it will just be added onto the two months or so that the time card gives...

    what should i? If i bought the game why should i have to pay for a time card to play the game. Seeing as i have the first month free.

  • BigPeelerBigPeeler Member Posts: 1,270

    just the way it is =/

    there are a few other games (CoH for example) that for some odd reason (imo) require you to choose a payment option before you can start playing, even if it's only the free month...

    many mmorpgs (i think all the mmorpgs I have played at least) requires a valid credit card or a gamecard to start your first thirty free day trial.

    Odd, I know, but I have never seen one mmorpg that gives you a free month without entering any valid credit card or game card info.

    Many mmorpgs require you to simply enter a valid credit card for the first thirty days (whether you have money left on it or not). So if you have a check card and your balance is 0 you can still use it (until, of course, your 30 day free trial ends).

    I haven't found a mmorpg yet that just "gives" you a free 30 day trial without first setting up an account plan.

    i know how you feel but thats just the way they do it. I personally hate the idea too but what can ya do? I guess the best thing is just scrap 30 bucks and get a 2month card from Best Buy

    Sorry for your misfortune.

    PayPal and Pre-Paid Game-Card Payments - Block on 11/23/04

    Due to some unforeseen systems issues, PayPal is not currently able to accept World of Warcraft payments. However, they are working diligently with us to bring this online as soon as possible.

    I found this on www.worldofwarcraft.com. I never saw a update yet on that webpage so maybe they are still working on it.

    j-monster, having to have a credit card/debit card to activate an account to start playing an MMORPG has been the case forever. Have you ever played an MMORPG?

    When you setup a PayPal account you need to enter your bank account info (ex - bank routing number and account number as well as bank name) then you have to verify the account which paypal will deposit two deposit's of X amount into your bank account (usually around a few cents). Then you look at your bank statement and input the amounts they deposited into the verification portion of the Paypal registering process. You can setup your bank account now, but will then have to do this above step to verify the account and so paypal knows it is yours. After it is verified then you can input your papal account and have it basically withdraw monthly fees that way which will be tied to your savings/checking account. This is the paypal process in a nut shell.

    If I was you it is a whole lot easier to just get a game/time card and use that to play the first 3 months. It would be easier to drive an hour into town to get it then have to go through the paypal verification process when setting up your paypal account due to the fact that it could take up to 2-3 business days for the amounts to show up on your bank statement.

    You know though that most MMO's dont even have game/time cards to use this close after release and no MMO has ever used official paypal payment options (at least that I have seen) as an official way to pay for month fees.

    Or....you could just go to your bank (given you even have a bank account) and just apply for a debit/check card, which is an easy thing to do.

    Hope this helps!image

    I'm not sure where you are from, but in my area you can go to the bank and purchase a gift card that is like a credit card. I've seen them for 25 and 50. Not sure if it's a certain amount you have to buy, or if you can tell them how much you want on it.

    Also, at the local CVS (drugstore) you can get a pre-paid mastercard. You pay a $10 fee to get the card, than you put on it however much you would like and it works just like a credit card. You can also add money to it later if need be for a charge of $5.

    Or as someone else said, go to the bank and get a checking account and ask for a debit/check card. Make sure that you get one with a visa/mastercard logo on it and not the normal one you can only use at atm machines.

    You have many options. The gamecard would probably be the easiest option for you.

    What in the hell are you talking about?

    Quit trolling this thread, he sounds like he is trying to get honest help.

    J-Monster, do you not have a credit card? Are you a kid? Will your parents not let you use one?

    Dear Runescapefan,


    Please remove your head from your anus.

    You don't need to goto your bank to setup a paypal account.

    You win the "I am da smurtest" award for today.
