Hears the story so far.
The "O so wonderful" NCsoft store has some neat little code that checks your IP address and compares that with your billing address to make sure that everything is on the level. This is great for keeping your Credit card number secure.
I have satellite internet. This makes it look like I'm in Kentucky when, I am in fact in Virgina. Its just like using a proxy except I have no choice in the matter.
Ok after the site rejecting my card a few times I call billing support so I can resub and check out I19 (lots of good stuff very happy overall). I get told what the issue is and that its been temporarily fixed YAAA take my money NCsoft. All's well that ends well.
Then I get the itch and decide to get the origin pack only to get the same problem. I call billing support AGAIN. I get it fixed but its still temporary and I have a hour or so to buy stuff. But the last E-mail I get says (in essence) "We will not fix this for you again."
Wonderful Looks like I wont be able to play COH any more.
OK that's pure hyperbole, but still. I could I suppose go to some where with free WiFi and get my credit card number stolen that way. Or I could go down to best but and spend $20 for a game time card and a 30 day jet-pack that I don't need.
But why should I have to do any of that to play a game? At this time, I have no idea what I'm going to do when my subscription runs out. But being told by a company that they literally won't take my money has left a bad taste in my mouth.
So I the interest of hearing what you lot would do, and the hope that a red name will stop by, I want to hear what you all have to say.
