The Netherlands; Extra Character Slot - Guild Wars Forums

Ok, So I live in the Netherlands, don't have a Credit Card. How can I get an extra character slot

?

Any dutch people who bought themselves extra character slots that mind to explain how?

Get a credit card. The only way to get character slots is either adding a campaign proph/factions/nightfall, add the nightfall pre-order key, winning a GW competition that offers a character slot or buy one from the store.

credit card only

You don't state your age, and whether or not you can get a credit card.

Another option is to have a checking account with an ATM card linked to that account.

You can also get a pre-paid credit card or debt card.

I doubt there is any way to get the slot without credit card, I have not found one yet.
For the other ones reacting, as far as I know there is no way to obtain a pre-paid credit card in The Netherlands.
Debit cards are handed out by banks when you have an account but cannot be used for online payment like a credit card.
Age or bad credit record (kept up to 5 years here and banks/credit card companies use them like zealots) are reasons for denying a credit card.

Sorry I can't help you more, Jimme

I don't know about the Netherlands, but here in the USA you CAN use a debit card.

Yeh ... wasn't sure how they worked that on the other side on the pond.

Assuming you have a bank account and don't believe in credit cards like me, can you not get a debit card.

Its really just a cheque in a slightly different form, doesn't allow you to go into debt or anything.

If you don't have a bank account then your pretty much screwed for any online transaction anyway, not just the game store.

Debit cards work in the uk too for online transactions and I suspects its the same in much of Europe.

It needs to be bought on your account, not a guild mates.
