Hi,

I'm currently in Australia, if I was to buy something off the official GW online store, what currency will I be charged in? I logged into the store and there's USD, Euro and Pound, so i was wondering which one? I need to know so that i can decide whether to buy GW:EN off there. Thanks!

Probably British Pounds. This means you'll be charged about $8.50 more than if you went to EB. Lame, yes I know.

Choose USD, the exchange rate is superior to Pounds or Euros. Once you've selected a currency it's locked in.

Apparently it goes by the address you put in. And since Australia is under the European branch you will be charged pounds.

Do what i did...File a complaint with NCSoft to allow us to choose. It is just plain wrong to charge us in pounds. Who knows, with any luck they will hear us and charge us in USD.

Good luck.

I would've done so if I could but from what I understand...we can't 'choose' what currency we're gonna pay in. meh if they dun change to USD for Australians when GW:EN releases then bye bye online store and bonus missions, hello EB....

Anyways thanks for all the reply....i c it's already a problem brought up by some others. sorry for not reading through every thread in this forum =P
