^ says all. To make a ACCOUNT you N33d to have a creditcard....... you truly.. do.. or prepaid card which will be released on 4th MARCH long time. !! :S!
I don´t have a credit card and don´t intend to get one, so I have no other option then the prepaid gamecards.
The problem is not that I don´t want to buy a gamecard. The problem is that they´re not available. If they had been available at launch I would have bought at least one even if it were not required to create an account. But because of this rather unthoughtfull decision I have to wait for more then 2 weeks before I can play a game for which I have already paid.
[Edit] And on top of that, the first month is free, but if you don't have a CC you have to pay 2 months in advance before you get the free one. On a CC you can cancell the account before your second month starts. Gamecards on the other hand are not refundable.
This does not apply to me as I have already decided to play this game for quite some time. But I can imagine it's not really an attractive proposition for someone who does not know if he wants to continue after the first month.

March 4th? Nooooooooo.
Yep, can't create an account until you either give your CC details or fill in a gamecard code...

Oh noes!
A MMOG requiring an actual CC or gamecard?! How shocking!
