I'd like to know why I need a Credit Card to buy a server transfer.
I understand that in America almost everyone owns a Credit Card but in Germany and the rest of the EU they are much less widespread.
I'm a student and if I applied for a credit card people would laugh at me (for good reason).
This means that even though I'd like to transfer one of my lvl50 chars from Zukunft to Freedom It's impossible. I'd like to know if there are plans to make it easier for EU players to purchase name changes and server transfers. Why can't we use paypal?
Sorry to whine and complain but it's something that has bugged me for a long time.My messages to the support were left unanswered so I hope a redname might drop in again to drop a comment or sth.
-insert witty comment here-

ETA: Though it's true you get more than just the badge for your money with the Pocket D VIP.

Enjoy half-off prices on:

City of Heroes Mini Booster: Temporary 30-Day Jetpack In addition, character transfers and character rename services will also be half-price! Please note that the 50%-off discount will not appear in the in-game store; however, the actual transaction will reflect the sales price. |
The reason why I ask is because the character rename service, I didn't utilize at the time because there wasn't a need for it . . . until two days ago.
If it's a missed opportunity, then I will be okay with that. I figured I would ask, just in case.
Thank you for your time and everything you do!
Awwww, it ended so soon. It would not accept my credit card on my 5th or 6th transfer. But the shop was happily accepting my credit later for the Steampunk pack.
Will the sales be on again?
The devs have said that they will make Passport available for all in some other way in a future issue.
