I didn't realize I couldn't buy points online, kept clicking the DDO Store link and was wondering why it kept taking me to the "Store Guide" and not the Store itself. So I enter my CC details online, then buy the points in-game, but make sure there's a special on before I buy them to get the most bang for my buck. Ta heaps :)Cap'n Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267651027289124037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-34145478618543548582009-10-19T16:19:45.192+01:002009-10-19T16:19:45.192+01:00I like your approach stabs and I think it is the a...I like your approach stabs and I think it is the approach I will take if I decide to stick with DDO, even if I don't get a discount. So far DDO seems very like Guild Wars to me (which is game I love by the way) and I am quite prepared to pay a once off fee to play. I don't think I want to pay a monthly sub though.mbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037758442729422620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-36775944954866352892009-10-17T16:54:52.203+01:002009-10-17T16:54:52.203+01:00Yes when Guild Wars first started it seemed nothin...Yes when Guild Wars first started it seemed nothing could be further from the sub-based MMO payment scheme.<br /><br />Now six years later GW is a game where effectively you buy content as microtransactions and can play what you've bought forever and DDO has nearly arrived at the same place having started at the opposite end of the spectrum.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-14975075575897489892009-10-16T17:42:14.568+01:002009-10-16T17:42:14.568+01:00Aye, I've long thought that they should have t...Aye, I've long thought that they should have the store online, not just in-client. It does make it harder for me to give them money, which seems to be a bit counterproductive.<br /><br />As I missed this sale, I'll have to wait for another. I use much the same strategy, though; points on sale, content packs on sale. It's like a more granulated Guild Wars model, or Wizard 101's Access Passes. I *love* that business model, and want to see it succeed.Teshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760350503235227686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-12521788112788065192009-10-13T14:38:22.881+01:002009-10-13T14:38:22.881+01:00Managed to get home before midnight last night and...Managed to get home before midnight last night and scoop up some points before the sale expired.

You can then enter your credit/debit card details for what it says is a subscription.<br /><br />In the game you can then Buy Points from the store and it will use this credit card.<br /><br />Alternatively just buy points in game in the DDO store and it will open the same page.<br /><br />You don't seem to be able to just go to the accounts website and buy.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-43586879741985714222009-10-12T00:50:09.298+01:002009-10-12T00:50:09.298+01:00I can't figure out how to buy points outside o...I can't figure out how to buy points outside of the game client.

If so, you're most likely selling crap anyway. :pBorror0https://www.blogger.com/profile/10769891261815098528noreply@blogger.com
