I have been always thinking.... "this isnt fair, im only 15, i dont have a credit card, and if i asked my mam or dad to give me 20 euro for a game, they'd laugh and say yeah right, do something constructive", then i started playing a different game, and i saw that a method of payment for some features (equivilant to the black market (cash market)) was SMS. i think this would be very good for this game too, would earn the game and makers more money, and would allow almost everyone to get some sort of benefits. As, like me, not everyone can buy SS or trade in cash for Naq or lifers, or turns... what does everyone else think? i dont see a reason why it shouldnt, doesnt really have any down sides that i can see. thanks everyone,

great idea

The game use to be like that at one point but the whole reason for the required money is so that people don't create multi's and also so the site gets supported of course lol.

Also you don't have to give the $20 to get the benefits their are 2 other ways. The first is to get 1000gnr points and you can cash them in for full supporter statues or you can ascend to be able to get full supporter statues. So in the end what you would like is in the game just not the way you suggested it.

yah he's right...

sms is bad idea, instead make it work to the regular card (debath is it i think), lots of underaged players have regular card...

no, my point is, i have money, and i want to be able to trade it in the black market, i know about the SS, but thats not the best way to spend ur money? and i dont have whatever that card is... i just want SMS payment, i dont see ANY problem with it, can u please explain how that could possibly be a problem?

As I posted earlier when the game initially was released it was like it is now but over time forum did realise an update that was like this SMS thing. But what was shown was that to many people could now easily make 20-30-40 multies to feed one account and just pump them with uu/AT so the solution that he came up with was to bring back the fact you need to pay $$$ since most people are not willing to pay $20 per multi just to pump their accounts when they can go to the BM.

Also as I already posted if you don't want to spend money on this I showed you the two other ways you can get full supporter statues without having to pay money which is what you want just not as easy as you would like it.

its still paying 20 Euro just a different method/. its exactly the same except instead of a credit card, its a phone, it still costs the person 20 Euro. (i think im missing something here, u need to explain more)

well then I miss understood you since I was assuming SMS was some sort of way to pay with ingame goods to get SS. You would have to explain more about this SMS thing for it to ever be under consideration.

SMS is just the term for what we all know as a text message. u order what u want, the game sends u a text asking you to confirm it. u confirm it and it deducts the amount of money from your credit. if u do not have enough credit the order automatically cancels.


Thanks Shuggy, that is right.

this will have to be asked to admin...
you can go on one of the IRC meetings to ask... (see topic in general for when that is)

Well, you still can have a credit card while you're 15
At least here you can.

but as it seems to me that ...to more and more ppl are ingame resources more important than real money

Even tho I don't believe this game will last long at this point because what is recently happening.

i dont think ingame resources is better than money, but having fun and enjoying what u spend ur money on is what its for, and its enjoyable moving forward and advancing =] unfortunately i cant log onto the IRC...
