I was hoping that the solution for european costumers Alex Weeks talked about, that would roll out early august would involve Paypal. Many europeans dont have a creditcard, but do have Paypal. So I was wondering (and hoping to get a response from Gaile or Alex) if Paypal will ever be supported in the (near) future?

Yes, Paypal would be nice. I don't have a credit card too and I won't get one just for guild wars. That means no additional character slots for me :-(

I concur. I don't have a credit card [yet, I'll get one eventually...], but my PayPal account is very active. I'd love for it to be added as a payment method.

/signed, I suppose.

We're continuing to look into additional methods of payment. We've now added two major debit cards (Maestro/Switch and Solo), and we've got more planned for as soon as we can get the systems in place.

I can't comment on PayPal specifically, but I do believe that those without credit cards will have a solution soon.

Any chance of these extra character slots ever being available in real-life shops, in the form of those creditcard-sized scratch-away-to-reveal-the-key thingies NCsoft offers for some of their other games? I'd like to give away some character slots as birthday presents, but the in-game store doesn't accomodate that.

Not ones without the CVV, like mine. >_O

Is that only for the people who have their accounts on the European servers?

What I think is more unfair is that people paying outside the US need to pay MORE money. It should be a varying exchange rate cost, not some daft set one.

Why should only US players get a discount?

As exchange rates are constantly fluxuating, so today US may be paying less than us, but tommorow we could be the ones paying less. Alex already covered the reason why so few currencies are sued and why they are set.

Why not? We must deserve extra character slots more than other places. Just be happy you don't have to pay shipping

It's not really a discount...if we paid in Euros it would be just as much as you pay...

Or in truth programming it to be varying would be to much trouble and thus its easier to keep it a set rate. Needless to say its still not fair, and clearly US players do get a discount compared to other places

I'd like to know why we have to pay tax on a virtual item.
