i can still use pay pal :)
The link TINY posted is legit. You can use credit cards or paypal to purchase Ultimate Game Cards there. The PIN# for the cards are usually available within a couple minutes.

That may be the case, but purchasing such an option limits or completely eliminates your credit card consumer protections, as you technically receive the item (the game card from the pcgamesupply vendor which you can not only use through Evony but also with many other games), whereas if I purchase game cents through PayPal today, and Evony goes belly-up tomorrow, my credit-card company will make me whole.
Thankfully, I still have the paypal option and was able to give my friends some 50% upkeep. But, as so many in my alliance are complaining that they have no paypal option and won't waste their time with moneybookers it looks like Evony are going to lose a truckload of money.
well since we were not given a option in doing this trial... do one better evony... give us free food... half food is not good enough since i cant even coin anyway... out of the goodness of ur hearts... show ur loyalty to the people that pay ur bills!
im also wondering why this trial even needs to be done, should we be worried?
oh and it many also be polite to send a mail out... geez
(i will NOT b coining with out paypal as i cant anyway..... so i guess u wont b getting any money out of me this st pats pfft)
all I can say is wow!
After 4 years of playing this game, 3 years of coining, I think I have finally found a reason to quit for good!
A game that is labeled "Free Forever", spams you periodically about the amazing benefits of autocents.
Then when you go to use this feature it has disappeared.
I've spent loads of money and hours playing this game, enjoy the company and love to play it.
But if Evony is going to conduct a "test" without any explanation, any forewarning, and remove my ability to compete and purchase the chests that just came out today (I WILL NOT USE ANY OTHER OPTION FOR PURCHASING!) then I guess its time for me to cut my losses and get out.
How did I get selected as part of this "test" anyways?
Players in my alliance are using paypal right in front of me, but for me and a few others the option is unavailable.
Does Evony realize that probably 80% of the players that coin uses paypal?
Does evony realize that this is just one more step in pushing away potential profit for years to come?
I know what I can do through paypal......... sell my account!
haha sweetdreamz.... i agree 100%
It appears that the lack of PayPal option is limited to certain players, I do not have the PayPal option for one server, but an alliance mate does?
Evony: this makes no sense to anyone other than you, I would be spending $30 right now if I could................
If that were only true. Several major US banks will not allow you to use those other payment gateways because of the amount of fraud generated by them. In fact Moneybookers made the FDIC's top 10 list for the 5th year in a row of most distrustful third party clearing houses.
So no, I can't decide to use one of the other payment gateways. Perhaps next time before a test is run, research should be done.
Oh and I would suggest to all of those that have lost this option, stand your ground!
Don't fall for their tactics and find some other form of payment because you want one of those chests... that's probably what the test is about.
Test Results = Give them back paypal, we are losing money!
It seems that you don't understand the difference between 'impartial' and 'happy'.
...except Paypal didn't freeze Evony.

Taken this morning. If Paypal had frozen Evony, then this wouldn't be possible.
Also, TentPig, Moneybookers is not based in China. They're based in both the US and UK. As I said earlier, GIYF. Take a few minutes to look them up. It's not hard.
Inb4 account ban.
You should probably cite your sources. Just saying.
Acer, I think we have already gathered that PP haven't frozen Evony, god forbid that a conspiracy theorist would allow facts to get in the way of a good thread!
It does though appear that the lack of PP option only effects some accounts, can you (or anyone) shed any light on this and / or let us know when service will return to 'normal'???
i wont be coining through any other method except via paypal
Give it back if you want my money
I just tried to purchase through MoneyBrokers and was told that they dont accept accounts from my state. I don't live in Nigeria, I live in IL and we have the 3rd biggest city in the US and the 5th most populace state. How can that be?
dave, what's the deal? give us some info on this situation
There are too many would be coiners sitting here not spending, so there has to be a good explanation as to why evony would just remove a payment option for a percentage of players. I think the response in this forum and the others like it should be enough reason to stop the test and allow us to return to normal. This makes no sense at all
What if an account has autocents due for renewal whilst the testing is on?
Well, heck of a time for a "test" when ya start a new server. Wanted to get a beginners package but that will expire next day or two, so ohhh well, guess I opt for the "just don't make any purchases" choice because I am NOT trusting a site with my financial details that forces me to allow all levels of cookies and makes me pull down my firewall. That was the only way i could get past the error screen telling me to allow cookies. No way..... didn't complete the purchase. Betting alot will do the same. Let us know how that works out for ya.
Acer5200 - It seems that you don't understand the difference between 'impartial' and 'happy'.
Acer, this kind of response is not helpful and serves only to escalate an endless and pointless discussion. It's a distraction.
I think what everyone would like to know is why this kind of 'test' is being made without informing the consumer base first with the details and options that would be helpful. I haven't seen any useful communication from the brass on this yet, but I remain hopeful.
Valid Question.
But what if you can't use MoneyBookers due to them wanting you to snail mail your personal ID to some address in the UK?
They requested a notorized copy of my Driver's License... for the usage of a game rights, I personally do not feel comfortable in doing that.
Apparenly only using my Credit Card wasn't enough.. They also felt it was necessary to put Identity Theft at risk also.
It is quite unfortunate that this 'test' would be done at the same time as a new promotion. The reasons for which are unclear, unless to see how far the EvoAddict community would go to pay to play...
Looking forward to a possible extension to the promotion so PayPal only users can take advantage of it also.
I hope not.. i've spent about $4000 through Paypal without doing that at all.. when i set it up, it was merely a CC number and Street Address, it took about 4-5 days to set up, but never an issue since... jeesh.. now you have me wondering if I could be Identity stolen already...
btw.. not trying to spam, just replying to Acer's comment..
i haven't looked up any sites to find out anything about moneybookers, but my bank will not allow me to purchase through moneybookers. i already spent 2 hours learning that fun fact. evony has lost my business due to a foolish test.
When I started my paypal account they required a lot of personal identification from me, and i've had my account limited until I give them my social security number. This is on top of having a bunch of other information, and 6+ years of me as a user with ZERO problems.
Paypal asks for at least as much information as my normal bank has.
here's the question I want answered:
How is it fair that some can use paypal while others can't? I don't want everyone to lose their paypal privileges, but I would definitely like an explanation. There are plenty of players taking advantage of the St. Patty's chests right now, but there are several unable to due to this "test". such a shame really
I know i don't like or trust moneybookers, under any name. No buying until paypal is back. Sorry time for this "test" when you offer St Paddy's day packs. And, well, bottom line here, if i run out of cents before paypal is back, game over. See ya.
Moneybooker wanted photo ID, Paypal have never asked for that kind of information in the time I have been using them (over 7 years, in two countries). I still have the paypal option thankfully. However if I lose it, I will not return to using Moneybooker or messing about purchasing UGC online (they don't sell them in the stores here).
Evony will do what Evony wants at the end of the day, regardless of what the customer thinks is best. If Evony decides that paypal is to go. The customer will then have the choice to coin or not to coin. It's that simple.
Yup Eartha, exactly right. What I have concluded in reading through this forum and the responses of certain "moderators who don't work for Evony" is that they really don't care if we play or not lol, so whatev, I'm saving my money. Should have all along. I should thank them for making it easier to be a good girl lol.
Nice picture photoshop Acer :P
(Just kidding! I know PayPal didn't suspend evony's account, but it could be a reason why a company removes it from their list of acceptable payment options, as used to happen in my eBay selling days)
I am familiar with Moneybookers, but I do not see that option, only an opinion to directly pay with my credit card, which I will not do, as I do not know/trust anonymous payment processors (which was my offshore reference)
Oh Evony the webs we weave. Bad move guys this will come back to bite you in the rear. not hard to figer out you are looking for a way to cut cost but this ant it.
My $.02 USD. Moneybookers doesn't accept Discover card, which is the only card I can use (due to the super secret nature of my gaming habit...), which precludes me from buying during the current promotion.
Here's a question I want answered... what kind of company management drop a popular payment method just before a money making promotion? :duh:
