I'm trying to get a trial account upgraded for .99$, but when I go to buy it, it brings up some crap about an external site called Nexon and says I have to pay Nexon points, which 1NXP = 1 Yen. I'm in Japan, but I'm American, I use the American dollar. How do I get the account for 99 cents and bypass all of this ridiculous Nexon crap? |

Uhh. Posting in a stealth 'nerf sub prices' thread? When Bon Scott died and he appeared before St. Peter at the gates of Heaven, St. Peter looked at his record and told him he couldn't get in. Just then, God screams at Peter, "Let him in, Karen Carpenter is driving me nuts. I want to hear some music with balls. We'll haggle over the paperwork later." At least I hope that's what happened. |

Petition, so they have your request on record, and can sort out the details even after the offer expires.

I did this and they set me up to use PayPal in less than 24 hours. Super easy. |

You could probably use a VPN tunnel to the US to subscribe.
I have to do this a lot with Steam. I'll be in Greece, so Steam will charge me in Euro which must be converted to USD. So I pay in USD which gets converted to EURO which gets converted back to USD, and I'm paying all those unnecessary conversion fees.
VPN tunnel. Really, you should have some kind of vpn anyway if you use any public internet. I've used Astrill and Overplay. Astrill you need to pay for the dedicated IP and then you can play EVE with it active. Overplay I have to turn it off when playing Eve.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this^^^
It has been a couple of years since I left the US, but I seem to recall that when in Japan, one customarily uses yen. A calculator can help you to figure out the value in $US. everevolutionaryfront.blogspot.com |

The bolded part:
Wow, great show of the typical "I'm an American, all I know is how WE do it."
according to your great logic (you are in Japan, makes perfect sense you are charged yens) I should be able to pay with Euros when I go to the US just because Im from Holland.

Some of us travel for a living so we still get paid in native currency and have to convert. Expecting someone to pay for a double conversion is just silly. Which is what the OP sounds like to me.
There are also problems when paying for services began in U.S. but forced localization denies. Such as my Aion North America account suddenly becoming unplayable because when I was in U.A.E. I could only play on the European server, where my character wasn't.
And there are services that are bought overseas as an American that we still want to continue working when we get back to the US. Like Windows.
Then localization will force all internet webpages into the "local" language, such as Arabic, Greek, French, Spanish, anything but English. Even though I don't speak any of those languages, I just happen to be in those countries. Sometimes an "English" page link will be available, or obvious, but often it is not.
This isn't being done in a brick and mortar ship, it's done over the internet. So it is a Global transaction not a Japanese one. Global transactions are in whatever currency you deal in, you just have to know how to do it.

I'd know how to do it a different way if the site was in English... I can't exactly read a website that's completely done in Japanese. How do I register when I have NO clue what to click on? |

Google Translate? Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

Got to love the same internet for its massive amount of translator pages. Or if you use Google Chrome, use the in build translator option.
Given they are not 100% fool proof , but in general they can help a lot. Want to have some chat in game? Need help to get into the game as a new player? Just join my channel: Crazy Dutch Guy |

Page Error. Anyway, I already answered your question. Get a VPN tunnel. Someone else also answered your question, Petition it. Either way should get you a solid response.
A VPN would have a LOT of other uses though, and any American traveling abroad using the internet should have one. Without exception. Strike that, anyone traveling abroad should have one, period.

For me the reason I petitioned to get set up with Paypal has nothing to do with USD/Yen. In fact I would prefer to pay in yen.
It has everything to do with Nexon being OMG WTF.
And LOL at the default NPC corp it put me in when I temporarily left the faction war. I almost want to keep this. |
