    So we're Irish and we cant pay with Maestro cards.

    cba to waste a day heading into town to get a prepaid card so I came across a couple of websites that sell prepaid time and they email you the key to use.

    Such as <modsnip>

    Just wondering if anyone has used the likes of this before?

    Cheers

    just went and created an account with them. Total payment for 60 days was 22 euro... which is cheaper than buying cards or even paying online via cc sub. Theres a 1 euro 'handling' fee or some lark, but totally worth it.

    Got on live chat with one of the lads because I was left waiting 10 minutes for the order to process and he sent me out a key right away.

    So, wow paid for by a maestro card.

    Savage!

    I deleted your link, as they also sell gold. Glad it worked out for you though.

    Some gold selling websites can be dodgy ****ers that install keyloggers and such to try and gain access to your account. Might be worth running a virus scan or spybot S&D sometime in the near future.

    Well I used an old email account, made the purchase on their website, they sent me a verification email, then a verification text message to enable my account for purchasing. When i bought, they sent me a generated screenshot of the key that i was allocated and it worked fine!

    It was like buying off of any other website, but the invoice that was emailed had the key... seems legit!

    Don't be shocked if your gametime gets removed in a few days when the payment for that gametime goes through and gets denied by payment team in blizz.

    However it could be legit and you may be fine. Just never buy gametime from farmers in-game for gold as that gametime defo gets removed. Just a heads up

    Shattered Crystal are a legit and good company. They sell game time cards for most games but are most popular for selling eve GTC.

    Ebay has a lot of game time cards for sale on that at decent prices. And you can set up paypal using a debit card with your bank account :D

    Ebay is pretty safe, and you can just look through someone's feedback easily.

    As much as i love wow.. I cannot see myself returning until MoP!

    What exactly are u going back for? Game is dead... And if there is anyone still playing, its most likely noobs who have just started to raid DS!

    You should really just wait for MoP and dont burn yourself out on the current crap content! :)
