gifts

Ok, I want to buy a couple of months of VIP for a buddy of mine, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do it. I've tried in my NC Soft account area, and I've tried the market. I've seen nothing which allows for this. So how the heck do you do it?

I don't think that you can do this directly. However, you could just give him the money, or set up a PayPal account for him to use to fund his account. But I don't think the game allows you to "gift" time.

Or you can get a box from amazon.com there are different boxes that comes with a free month of play and almost all are under 10$ so win-win (actuall if you get Going Rogue, artitect edition, good vs evil and CoV collectors all togerther it will come to 33.32$ for 4 months of free play and most of things in game unlocked and except one all are eligible for free shipping)

He has a long standing account which was once VIP, so buying a new box doesn't really help the cause a great deal. I guess he could redeem the code, but I'd rather get more than a month at a time, and shipping him a bunch of boxes doesn't seem very efficient.

Than you can buy timecards again from amazon.com or any other retailer and just give him the keycode.

Sounds like this is my best solution then. It's odd that they don't have a provision to do this when there's all that referral bonus stuff available.

It isn't the least bit odd. Say someone "hacks" your Master Account, which NCSoft has already had a problem with just a couple years ago, they could then up your monthly charge limit and use your credit card to "buy" time and other things for other peoples accounts while charging them less than the company charges.

No it's much safer for everyone not to allow it at all.


Instead what they should do is sell Paragon Point/game time cards that way you can buy the card and the player can use it for points or game time.

I can see your point.

I'd just like to be able to purchase a time card code so I could pass it on to my buddy. Right now he'd have to physically wait for delivery.

Well there's always the option of putting money on a paypal account that he can use to spend on his CoH account.

I think that still works.
