Hey everyone

plaync.com

I don't know which specific credit/debit cards are accepted, but hopefully you can figure something out. Good luck.

Its worth noting for the record. The online store from PlayNC and its counterpart that is part of the Guildwars game client itself are the only legal way to attain Guildwars CD-keys alone. Otherwise you have to get it though a retail product (which will be in a sealed CD card insert in the box not on the disc cover as other games normally have it).

Buying Accounts on ebay is not only not allowed, but run the extremely likely risk of getting the account either reclaimed by the original owner (scammed), OR Banned by Anet for violations of the RoC, and EULA if they are already not so to begin with.

Note also that there is no specific advantage to buying the keys on-line. It can cost you just as much (or more) to get the keys on-line as it would to buy the whole boxed game in a store. (There is a buy-one, get one for 1/2 price, promotion in the on-line store at the moment, but you'd have to check the "sale" price in local stores to see if it's any cheaper.)

It has been a while since I last used the online store, but I was under the impression that you could only purchase keys for your active account since you are already logged in when you access it. Getting a separate account for his brother might not be possible...but I've been wrong before.

Once.
