Ok, first of all, I live in Iceland, the home of CCP(as one or two of you might know).
Yesterday, I realised that it was time to buy myself another 50 days in order to be able to keep playing the game I love so much. In other words, my gamecard had expired.
So, off I go to buy myself another card.
There is none in the store left. I ask how long it will be until they will get another shipment.
After a little search in their computer, they tell me that they don't know, there isn't any left in any store in the whole country, and they have no idea when to expect the next one.

I don't enough isk to buy one with it. If it's possible to buy one online with creditcard, it doesn't matter because I don't have one.
Luckyli I have long training going on, but now my main is just sitting idle in station, doing nothing but scratching his b... err nose, yes that's the one, his nose, in his pod.
I am not happy.

... why not just pay through the normal subscription for a month or two?
if it costs more, it isn't a huge amount. I've paid two accounts by credit card for nearly a year now, never had a problem with it.

Can't you like, just call them and check if they sell to you directly?
Why go to a supermarket for milk when you live with a cow, huh?

I might just do that tomorrow, but I am even thinking about using this to take a break from eve, at least for few weeks(large hybrid turret lvl 5 rules).
But still, this is not supposed to happen, and I am not the only one that will be affected by this.

It's a bit late to check with anyone at the moment, but is the problem that the store hasn't bought any cards yet, or that we refused to sell any to them? I doubt it would be the latter.

Let me get this straight.
YOU don't have a credit card. YOU didn't keep track of when your time expired, and waited 'til the last minute. ONE chain of stores didn't have any cards. MANY online stores do.
Yet somehow this is ccp's fault? Blame yourself for your own failings mate.

They "Fixed" the thing where your skill training keeps going when you stop paying... It was in patch notes some time ago... Or did they fail to fix it? like... everything else

They never needed to fix it and they didn't. Skills keep training after an account sub ends, and that's just the way it should be.

They fixed it...on the test server.
Wasn't meant to be 'fixed' on the live server.

Yes, I don't have a credit card. Probably the only one in the world.
yes, I forgot that I bought 50 days instead of 100 last time.
Only one chain of stores sell them in Iceland to my knowledge.
Don't most online stores require credit cards?
See bottom line:

Well, the guyes at BT said that the problem was that they are unavailable, and that they have not been able to order new ones for some time now.
Sounds like it's just a matter of getting faster printers to do the job. |

Not everybody has the luxury of a credit card and it's sick how fast you jump to criticize the OP and beat him down just to make yourself look better, I think you should try training Empathy to lvl5 before slamming and not offering any help. It's people like you who drag these forums down to the gutter.

It was incorrectly added to Kali patch notes.
The change was made to the China server (Serenity?). Not Tranquility.

There is an alternative form of plastic to the credit card. It is called, a Debit card. Instead of charging money to someone else, and then paying out the nose to them each month, you can charge directly from your bank account. It's really quite novel. You should look into it sometime... - - -

I bet I can get past the security with a bat and steal the jita node before the police arrives. Signature removed as it fails to comply with the rules. Also, please think of the epileptics :) -Ivan K

Um..yeah. It also gives fraudsters direct access to your bank account when the card is compromised. The first you'll know about it is when you can't pay your bills or get cash out of the atm to buy food. You'll then enjoy a week or two struggling to survive with no money while your bank tries to sort the mess out.
At least with a CC the money being stolen is the bank's, not the user's, and most people get a replacement card in a couple of days. -- (Battle hardened industrialist)

about 3months ago i went to iceland with my mate to visit our long time buddies though this game. My mate had the crazy idea to go to CCP HQ...
I was like, as if
So nervous me followed and watched matey take pictures (how embarrising), giving it the tall story of how we traveled so far (how embarrising). This lady looked so confused and said cameras are not allowed. But then matey asks for a tour...OMG
We got it, but i felt like a complete geek with no life.
sorry for the story

Did you get to see anything new being developed? .. walking around on the outside of a tempest with sellotape and toilet paper fixing the ship perhaps? ... did you give any of the dev's a kick while shouting at them to fix logoffski and nano ships? If you did, it worked 
Alas, poor risk vs reward, I knew you well |

I use a debit card for likely 8 years already, tied to a single bank account, canŠt use more money than the current in account, so i just move money into account when needed for internet transactions.

same here. If the debit card i use on the web was somehow compromised, they would be very disappointed to see no money in there 
Hell, for all I know my card is compromised!
