another game has Visa card

[SnowLeopard]

I'm trying not to break any forum rules, but it's hard....
Another game (without a real-cash economy) has just announced VISA-branded cards and reward points.
WoW maybe this is also in the works for Entropia?

What do you mean with reward points please?

[Koliber]

The hook is: Use the Visa and get play time as a reward.

(altho, I don't know why Visa would be trying to give cards out to 12-16 year olds >.<)

my husband has a friend who plays that other game. the friend is 40 - he and his guild just act like they're 16.

I've never really understood it, myself.

Wow, that is pretty cool.. with rewards on the card, that means the average player could stand a chance on getting some return on the money spent.

The downside is that those are paid for by the card provider shaving some money off the back end of the transaction as a surcharge to the vendor.

Still it would be cool to have and hopefully this is part of the package for at least one of the offers MA has reportedly been considering.


Ah, the question of rewards points ... they can be used go purchase RL merchansise, plane tickets, etc etc, etc. Just what you can get depends on the card provider.

I would be happy with rewards points if they translated to ped...

sounds cool

btw google ads on this webpage give me links to names on other games I should check out. Doesnt this mean we should ban the google adds according to forum rules *ironic*

so ... use Visa to deposit peds and play for free in a fairy tale?

[Sircus]

Nah, its more like when u buy stuff with your visa card (everyday stuff from shopping to cars) then u get points. Those points could equal peds for the player if MA had an agreement But maybe MA doesnt want to favor a single credit company?
