The sovereigns themselves cannot be traded, but the codes to redeem them can be.
Exactly!!
These sites have been around for years. If they used stolen credit cards they would have been shut down.Those sites use stolen credit cards so of course they can sell sovereigns cheaper as it cost them Zero amount to buy them.
Oh and IF you use those sites then you can add your credit card to the list they use.
I should also mention for those thinking of using said sites that if a code you bought from them is traced back to a stolen card then you yourself will be in trouble if you live in Europe. Internet law changed last year and "ignorance" is no longer accepted.
The same as if you bought a TV for a tenner from a guy in the pub, but you thought it was legit.
Emptor cavete.
Been using my card on one of em for 3 years, never been a problem...
Every time you open with the Help button, when you close it , it will say Help request aborted.
I understand nowLOL, well now that you mention it
But that only applies to housing
Why would you think that EA would allow UO to sell something for other than real money. Is there a way EA can pay its bills with UO Gold?
They charge only the same if your currency is Dollar. For others, at least for the ones who live where its for example Euro they raised the prices around 25% (reference forged metal, Legacy token items)
A point that Cap't Lucky conveniently ignores when spouting his buy 1 get 3 free mantra, despite already having it pointed out to him
It would have needed some communications with Origin to figure that out up front. But we all know how reluctant Mesanna is to communications with people who have a say. Hence her issues with EA (Possible no details discussed when announcing going to steam, then getting rekt), Origin store (Never telling us about sales, Not knowing her regional differences in players, etc.) and every other actor she is failing to work something out for the better. Instead we only hear "none of my business" from her when it comes to this things.
So instead of buying an item at the website with Real Currency, you now buy Sovereigns with RC to use in game on the same items which may or may not be more expensive depending on where you live. I don't get the appeal.
You do understand that the Sovereigns cost REAL MONEY and you can no longer buy a lot of things in the Origin store.
Well, as you quoted, I said...
However, I did not know that a lot of things were taken off the store. So I guess it makes some sense now. Although, I'm guessing they only did this so we don't complain about not being included in the sales.
I think it was more a way we could buy more than 1 item at a time as EA was never going to allow this feature to happen when dealing with real money transactions.
Rest assured, there will still be complaints regarding sales...or the lack thereof.
And yet they now allow the purchase of more that 1 unit of Sovereigns with Real Money......
The way it has been implemented will botch any future hopes of this.
I just tried to buy more than one 5000 Sov. pack and it would not let me so how did you do it?
LMAO not even subbed but trying to make a statement as a fact like you have done it, PRICELESS. And another statement stated as a fact about F2P and again you ASSume to be in the know.
LMAO Some people are trying their damndest to make you believe that and they are only ASSuming where the Dark Lady herself said that UO was NOT going F2P. Ask yourself this if and I mean BIG IF UO was to go F2P who is going to write the code for it just the same as who would write the code for Stream or what ever it is called because we have a total of 4, FOUR, people working on UO.
I heard they were going to double the subscription price. Not make it go free to play.
No. Please see this comment from Mesanna, head UO developer. While there is vocal player speculation about the possibility, the official stance is currently that UO is not going F2P.
EA does not own BroardSword, only the games that BroadSword was hired to manage. Good try!
