By the middle of next week another payment method for credit card users will be available via PayPal (http://www.paypal.com). More details will follow when the service has been activated.

This is the best news I have heard in ages. C2P just seems to "Dick everyone around"

PayPal will make the payment procedure so much easier.

Good job kk. :)

Perhaps we were wrong about Worldpay. Although more payment options are always good, so if we get a choice of PbC, WorldPay, Paypal and C2P it should end people ever not being able to pay (unless they actually can't afford it).

At the moment even, I am waiting to get my accounts reactivated to click2pay (as at the moment all a can pay with is paybycash. But i doubt ill bother with it now seeing as paypal will become a viable option.

Fantastic news!!

Used paypal loads and never had any issues and they are also normally very quick at taking the money from my account - which is a good thing!! :D

My next question is - whats the procedure to move from PayByCash to Paypal payment.... and will it be free to move?

Do we know yet how much it will be too...

Nice one KK! :D

Excellent news. I'm still sad that it couldn't have happened sooner when it really could have helped boost the population by a fair amount. At least someone has finally woken up regarding the matter and done what's best. Good job. :)

Off-Topic Note: Hopefully with at least one globally reliable and reputed payment method there will be some thought into making ex-players want to come back and play Neocron. I doubt any small tweaks on the retail server will be implemented to make it generally playable as 2.2 will be the excuse for not doing anything else whatsoever. The retail servers will remain pretty much dead in general for many months to come until a handful of people come back to test the results of 2.2 before probably leaving again.

So only a couple of other things need to be mentioned: Events and Storyline. Has it already been 4months without any storyline updates? (and before then I didn't really consider spider spawns for half the year much of a storyline) Who works (or clearly doesn't work) on this? There was meant to be some statement about both the current GM, Event and Storyline situations but there hasn't. [ edited ]

Good job KK :D

Now I would advise KK to send out emails to every ex-player they can informing them of the new payment options available to them, as I'm sure there are people that quit due to payment methods.

Hooray :D

I was thinking about NC and I saw this and thats it - i'm coming back.

Lol, actually I was thinking so much about coming back after I read it, I couldnt help but want to signup right now... Heres a rundown of my experience.

This is a blow by blow account of my last hour with smilies indicating mood per step. My apologies, I get kinda angry by the end...

- :D Wow ! Paypal, finally !...A week away. I can wait.
- :) No. I cant.
- :) I'll just activate for a bit via C2P
- :) Hmmm can't quite rememeber my password.
- :) *tries a few logins*
- :mad: damn, locked out for 15 mins
- :rolleyes: Waits.
- :) Tries again, gets login right.
- :confused: Goes to reactivate account...What, something about not being able to reactivate via c2p... have to activate via PBC. Ok
- o_O WTF ?! PBC take like, every form of money there is, except a debit/credit card. WTF
- :) Remembers his second account.
- :) Hmmm can't quite rememeber my password.
- :) *tries a few logins*
- :mad: locked out AGAIN.
- :mad: Waits. Finds an NC2 Disk.
- :mad: Get password reset to ensure its right this time.
- :( Finally logs into an accout he can upgrade
- :mad: Sees he has to pay a licence charge. I KNOW I've paid for like 4 copies of this game now.
- :( But f**k it, this time, you win.
- :mad: Continues, filling in endless amounts of data
- :mad: Gets to C2P. Cant login, tries a few usernames and passwords remembered from last time. 'Your account is locked'. F**king great.
- :( Tries to make a new C2P account. But it wont give me one without a new email address. Right, fine, f**k off then.
- Here on the forum trying to find out if there is any other way to do this...

I cant express how angry this makes me. This is the 5th time ive tried to return within 18 months, and AGAIN I am stopped because for some strange reason, I find it impossible to actually hand over my money.

Anyway. Am VERY glad to hear paypal will be available , and lets hope that I dont have to make a 'this is crazy !!! arhghghgg!!!' style thread to express my hate of C2P.

Ok on the THN forums (http://forum.techhaven.org/viewtopic.php?t=2637) s, an interesting discussion point has come up, and that is why only credit cards are only being accepted via PayPal.

I can only ask at this point in time for KK to clear this little question up when the final details come out later this week for PayPal.

Siuko
11-02-07, 13:08
I'm guessing here but I think it will just be any form of payment that PayPal usually collect.

I cant imagine them 'only' accepting credit cards when they definitely do accept things like UK debit cards etc. Why would PayPal want to change a system they have that works great?

But its only a guess and who knows... not long to wait to find out though :D

11-02-07, 14:03
Well like i said on THN Forums i have been using paypal for everything online and i use my rubbish little solo card (no debit card or credit cant go overdrawn) and i have never had a problem with it and can set up subscriptions the lot on my card so i think you WILL be able to use payapal with any card you have got ( which will be about time :)) :D

Lunascape
12-02-07, 07:47
Awesome news. My concern though, will we be able to subscribe both boxed and trial accounts via paypal? I finally heard back from Click2Pay, they're saying now that they're "Not allowing any new US accounts to be created at this time." :mad:

A lot of customers.. youre right about that. But at the same time look at how many people have passed by lately and left because of C2P. Why wouldnt people pass by now and start playing with PayPal?

I think the phrase people are looking for is "better late than never".

Dribble Joy
13-02-07, 16:00
Presumably you have a deal with PP such that only customers signed up with a CC can use it. What about debit cards?
Will there still be options for payment by bank transfer or other for those without a card of some sort?

If it's all going CC-wards, does this mean the game is intending to return to a more mature theme?

This is indeed a great move, kudos. Just one thing tho (sorry if someone else brought it up) but only credit cards via paypal? so i cant just send a payment via pp useing my debit card (which i do all time for my game time cards for EvE).

if they are going to do a mass e-mail they should wait till the release of 2.2 first and then tell of all the changes they made

Yeah, maybe. But at that point, you could say they should've waited til 2.2 was out before giving us Paypal to use again.

The earlier they can get a new payment system out the better, no point bleeding out more players while 2.2 is in test.

Now that they have the payment system, now they have to release the 2.2 patch and done!

We don't want to release 2.2 to an adoring public (;)) with potentially two support drains. Better to get PayPal out in the open, tested and working, and then concentrate on the 2.2 release.

18-02-07, 06:09
Well, if this PayPal system really goes live then I'll be coming back to the game.... and would have come back years ago if it was in place (along with about 10-15 other NC friends that quit due to payment reasons as well)...

PS: If PayPal works out then I'll be starting some mass NC advertising to my friends... ppl always looking for a good cyberpunk game.
