New Entropia Universe Cash Card Finalized

[Sharyn]

Hmm, I like the ideea ... PE turns into like a 'bank account' with a 3D environment ... keep my money in, use it to play and buy creamed cheese from the local store at the same time

Cool!

Hit us with the coplete news MA!

[Zhorgul]

It will be well needed ! I remember my dubious friends staring at me when I got money out of this ATM in front of them when they were still thinking "this guy is crazy, like money could come from something virtual".

Well, i can agree on that But since they claim that deal was finalized, press realease should be coming really soon, like it was with the bank sales.

Banks were supposed to be auctioned in the middle of January (They were only up for 60 days, and they just recently ended). Cash card issues were supposed to be solved in "about 90 days". (Its been almost double that, and we dont have em yet).

I could give a number of other examples.

Even if they make a statement that says "the deal is finalized", they are still gonna have to print up the cards, which could take a fair amount of time. Asking "when do we get em" is not unreasonable. Asking if those of us who paid for the card, only to have it cancelled, will be issued a new card with no extra charges is not unreasonable. Asking if we have to re-do all the paperwork involved with increasing our limits is also not unreasonable.

I'm sorry if haven't expressed myself clearly. I'm not saying that those questions are unreasonable, i have them myself. What i wanted to say, is that let's wait a few days for the promised press release with all the details (hopefully). And i doubt that MA representatives are going to answer the questions in this thread before that press release.

Before , for sure not (even if i think marco posted long ago card will be replaced for free) .But , i am sure MA read , and asking now may result in having clear and fine reply in the PR.
I do think it would be a better PR to write " now new cash card , cheaper and player with old card will get one shipped for free" than " mumbo jumbo usual crap".
I am maybe wrong , i am not PR or advertise specialist , but , personally , i would trust more a compagnie that do fair PR and pay back the replacement than a companie with shadow sentence and bad comment on forum....
