Bonus Mission Pack - Guild Wars Forums

Explodie · Oct 16, 2007, 08:48 AM // 08:48

Well this more a personal question ...

Well i have a small (very big) problem, i live in the Netherlands without creditcard, and i dont think Anet get it on time so dutch people can pay in the ingame store ...
So i have to do it this way, who here has a creditcard and can i trust to help me getting the bonus mission pack?

Hyper.nl · Oct 16, 2007, 09:53 AM // 09:53

I had the same issue, but I was lucky enough to have a mom who allowed me to make the purchase via her card. ArenaNet really needs to support bank transfer or iDeal payment. (Or make it available in normal retail stores)

Commander Ryker · Oct 16, 2007, 12:11 PM // 12:11

Do you have those visa gift cards there? They work just like a credit card.

Explodie · Oct 16, 2007, 12:29 PM // 12:29

I really dont know -_-, where can you buy them ... ?

Another Felldspar · Oct 16, 2007, 12:55 PM // 12:55

I also use the Visa gift card for purchases in the on-line store. I got mine from a drug store. Wal-Mart has them, but of course I don't know about Dutch outlets. The website of the card that I have is www.gifts2go.com and that might give you more information about where they are available.

Selganor · Oct 16, 2007, 01:13 PM // 13:13

I payed for my GW:EN preorder pack (and GW:EN) with a Paysafecard here in Germany.
Apparently they also seem to have them in the Netherlands.

Off topic I know but Explodie I LOVE your avatar

LOLOLOLOL

Explodie · Oct 16, 2007, 01:26 PM // 13:26

Visa gift cards dont excist in the netherlands ...

And Nadula i know, i liked it to, so i took them from someone here on the forums :P

Twonaiver · Oct 16, 2007, 02:13 PM // 14:13

Hey Explodie,
The question is rather "who here would trust you?" Credit Card Numbers are nothing you would give to any stranger... I would try to look and ask around in your closer circle of friends and family first.

If I were you I also would try to contact the Guild Wars Support team: http://uk.support.plaync.com (I mainly use the UK for it)

They might not have the best reputation but I never had any problems with them if you stay short and clear in your request.

I wish you the best luck in sorting this out.

I hope this helped at least a bit,
Timebandit

Explodie · Oct 17, 2007, 07:36 AM // 07:36

I have asked them and never got a respond back ...

And yeah, youre correct with that trust part

But non of my friends and fammily can pay for me in that store, because they dont have a creditcard -_-
And no1 has debit cards here ...

So i have really bad luck ...

And one problem i think is really a problem ... I live like 5KM (its about 2 miles) away from germany ...

Selganor · Oct 17, 2007, 05:23 PM // 17:23

It seems that you can't buy extra slots at the PlayNC store, just at the ingame store...

Explodie · Oct 18, 2007, 06:05 AM // 06:05

Jop, thats indeed correct ...

Meh i think i should start a discussion with al the dutch players, to get them send in a support ticket to help us getting that bonus mission

Maybe Anet will listen then and take us dutch people serious ...

Noob1 · Oct 18, 2007, 09:23 PM // 21:23

I live in the Netherlands too and I too have parents who don't trust me with their credit cards... at least you're not the only one

Just did some Googling and found out Visa Gift Card is only available in the US

And paysafecard does have a Dutch website... yet they have retailers almost everywhere in Europe except for Holland

Above that, they sell cards @ ???25,- and ???50,-, while the requirement for the bonus mission pack is ???26,-...

This must be some kind of conspiracy...

the_jos · Oct 19, 2007, 11:13 AM // 11:13

Conspiracy?

Don't think so. Always been like this.
But I have not found a CC gift card in the Netherlands.
And the regular used debit card given out by banks is not usable in online stores.

I could have borrowed the card of a friend, but did not want to link my GW information to her card.
Never had a good reason to get a CC myself and could not get one till recently due to bad credit record (banks can't be **** to ask the reason why, they just refuse).

Bonus pack?
Well, if I can get it somehow I'd like to (even by paying some money for it).
But I won't get a CC just for GW.

Khazad Guard · Oct 19, 2007, 02:01 PM // 14:01

In Australia i use a bopo card. Basically its a prepaid credit card accepted anywhere Visa is accepted.
The good thing about it :
-Prepaid, so if someone steals it they cant only take the money i have on it
-No monthly or annual fees.
Bad thing about it:
-Prepaid :P

Noob1 · Oct 19, 2007, 09:11 PM // 21:11

Bopo card is Aussie only... amost every country has something like that, which makes us Dutch feel left out...

Anyway, does anyone know anything of Wirecard? (https://www.wirecard.com/wirecard/app)
It seems to be some kind of virtual credit card from a bank in Germany...
and yes, this one is even available for Dutch

From what I have read on their website I understand you can deposit money by credit card or money order. Also, it seems to be mostly free, charging ??? 1,- for depositing money and for paying in a different currency...
Okay, you have to be 18, but I guess my parents will let me use their names

My only question is, does this work with the GW ingame store?
I personally think it does, because the In-game store requires:
- Name (in this case my parents')
- Card (in this case Master Card)
- Credit Card Number (check)
- Security Code (check)
- Expiration date (check)

Explodie · Oct 20, 2007, 02:11 PM // 14:11

That link isnt a Credit card, but a master card

Ive deposit some money so im checking!

Noob1 · Oct 20, 2007, 08:38 PM // 20:38

Please let me know if it works... there's just 10 days left (minus 3-5 days for depositing the money) and it appears to be my last hope...
