Wheres TimeCards???

General Discussion Started Last reply 39 posts
I've been look for ncsoft/city of hero/city of villians timecards for 2 months so i can add more time but i can't find any instore and the employee/managers have no clue when their gonna restock. My account is gonna expire this friday and i'm wondering if ncsoft even supports this game anymore...

PS: I can't buy any timecards online via credit card.. only by paypal but no retail website sells them via paypal and i don't want to risk "ebaying" it. :(
Are you in the USA?

And what type of retail stores do you have in the area?
well i buy them online and they email the code to me, there are some places on eBay that do that
go to your local WesternUnion, ask about the Debit Mastercard.

reloadable debit card and mastercard with a reasonable interest rate and O.K. service charges.

load the card, input into NC's monthly plan, just load it back up when you get more money.
i live in the U.S. more specificaly in california. I have friez, compusa, gamestop, bestbuys, wal mart, and circuit city around me and they never have any of the timecards EXCEPT wow. :/

i guess i can pay monthly through my debit card... but i feel more at ease with timecards
I normally order mine here.

Please note NO lineage2 Items here, i am simply posting for the person who wants cards.

Once you do your first order, you get the cards INSTANTLY the next times u come back (liturally order pay over paypal and BAM its in your e-mail already)

First time they require phone contact

Agggg, why did they have to say that on the website?

*Currency and Items delivered in game within minutes.



Plus i found linked sites that took me to gold sellers :(
they are now plaync time cards check your local ebgames and gamestop
i wonder if i ever will see 15 or 30 day gametimecards in europe.

its getting close to hollydays here and may not everyone is willing to pay alot $ for nothing... cuz u cant disable ur account for vacations :(

and to get GTC in a shop here is like impossible.. only way to order is online...
There's always PSC (http://www.paysafecard.com) if you are in Europe. I used it for my account and am quite happy. :) Of course it is not available in all European countries, but there are quite many. ^^ Check the website for local vendors.

ETA: Fade, for help with this kind of issue it's really best to post where exactly you're at.
Credit Card > timecards. Why see so much effort when you can just turn automatic billing on.

because you cant turn automatic billing OFF without being PERMAbanned without a chance of reclaiming your account.
I try and help the guy and u [censored] post this [censored], [censored] you mate

They have NO lineage2 items or currency so yes i am going to post taht link, they sell the game and timecards only.

If anyone wanted to buy the other stuff, they already know where to get it so already
Ferst,

Down boy.
I just dont like it when i try and hlep someone and people take a instantly negative view, the site gives the best service ive had from any site so ima recommend them.

Ps. u should dj on siradio.fm where louie is at, their got some good staff
I'm not taking a negative view on what you are doing...

I'm just saying chances are your post is going to get axed from one of the mods. And your account may get looked at from all those influx of sellers we have had lately.

The site does look like one of those kind of sites and it does link to one of those selling sites.
I just changed the link to the l2 page so it looks less "suss" of a site because all that sells is the game and time cards.

Id never post a link otherwise if it had anything else

Why aint I banned then? O.o Had no problems with CC.
Your lucky, one of my friends was banned because his wife cancelled the credit card and when ncsoft went to auto renew they got expired credit card and his account was banned for that.... Go figure? /scratches head.

He is trying to get it back seems kind of silly you can get banned for an expired credit card.

You don't get banned for an expired credit card, or for a card without funds.

The card cancelled because of theft could be another story. Luckily, I have no experience with that.

Still I was forced to use a time card when NCsoft for some unknown reason rejected my Visa with "fraud suspicion" status (the account wasn't banned either).
i still know tons of people that dont own a CC or wanna use it "online" ...

i just checked EBgames here and they really had 1 !!! 60day GTC in store... after 2.5 years asking for it, lol
but its 5€ more than from online shops.

Both of these statements are untrue. Your account is NOT banned if you turn off automatic billing. Your account is NOT banned if the CC expires or is cancelled.

The account is banned if you or your credit card company file for a CHARGE BACK. A charge back is when the CC company takes back the money that was already paid us. When they do a charge back, they don't only take the money back, they charge us a fine.

If you play on an account for an extended amount of time and then have your CC company take the money back... your account will be banned, never to played again.

Mmmm..... What reasons would a credit card company have for taking such an action. I would hate to think a small mistake would make a person loose their account.

You (the customer) request a charge back. The credit card company never just "does it..".
The card owner has to request it. But if they request it... the CC company will take their money back for them. The CC company wants their business. You do not have to prove anything.

The CC company will not do this on their own.

(Edit)
Ashane beat me.
So if the wife did a charge back she effectively got him banned over a martial fight, since they going through a divorce yadda yadda....

I understand that cost NCSoft money, if he reimbursed ncsoft for this would that have any effect or it will not matter?

I wouldn't normally ask but this is not something that really listed anywhere before like EULA or TOS.

Dont hurt me :)

PS did not know you could charge back past the last billing statement was news to me :)

Not a bad question Sly.

If a charge back happens there is no way for the customer to "reimburse" NCsoft. I guess the card owner could call their CC company and attempt to have the CC company fix the situation... but that has not happened before.

As for the example you gave: There are lots of ways this could happen, but yes that is one.
Morale of the story if your married buy time cards lol

Thanks Spam i guess i got to break my friend the bad news he better use time cards on his new account though lol
see.. GTC > CC :)

Allright then Spam, if the player was able to get the CC company to correct the problem, would the player then be able to get their account back?

I mean, I'm starting to worry that I should make sure that I don't have a fight with my wife that makes her do something like this to me! I married her 22 years ago, she's a full blooded Italian, so from time to time we do have little spats (making up is the fun part). I had many reasons for marrying her, her temper was NOT one of them. She doesn't like this game and if she found out that she could get rid of it by doing this to me.......
Doh!

Well, as I have said; I have never known a CC company to EVER give back money that they took in a charge back.

So the chances are slim that the account would be given back. My advice is to... well, Im not going to give marital advice.

Get a new CC where you are the only owner. Or get a Timecard.

You must understand that a Charge Back can be made on any payment made on a CC. With L2 we just close your account. If you made a car payment they would repo your car. If it was any other consumable item the odds are that company would take you to collections and mess with your credit. So if this is a real threat for you, I would take a closer look at what else you are charging on your card. L2 would be the least of your worries at that point.

So good luck and buy your wife flowers more often.

what i dont get is why you dont close the account temporarily until the owner of the account uses some other means to pay you?

rather than closing the account permanently. it seems to make much more sense than closing the account permanently for something that could be as simple as a billing error.
Because what the credit card company does is say you have paid for 2 accounts for 3 years meaning $360 in charges. They deduct that from NCSoft's Credit collection account automatically and charge them say another $50 charge back fee. So effectily you have just stolen $410 from NCSoft, needless to say they are not going to be happy and do not need to offer you service again.

As Spam said which is good advice if you worry about this then make sure your the only name on the account and this is not a problem or buy time cards or buy more flowers for your wife lol.

NCSoft is just protecting their own intrests because I doubt anyone is going to cut a check to ncsoft for 400 or more bucks just to get their account back lol.

A billing error will never result in a charge back. Its really that simple.

A charge back is something you the cardholder requests.

With that said, most chargeback fee's are only in the neighborhood of $10-50, not a big amount. That fee can also be lowered if your a good client. (Although I've never seen chargeback fee's lower then $5 personally)
Great tool in divorce. No recource for the victom and no laws broken. Now no need for the false abuse charge. Ex loses beloved lv 79 toon of 3 yearsand dosen't know its happing till he's(She's) banned and can't fix it.
Dont share your CC with your spouse, simple fix.
All spouses know the others ss# and info to access your card even if not on it.
Well that must be your way of doing it, doesnt mean that everyone does it.
