Prestige

It would also be a grand idea if you could send prestige to other players. That way players could use this feature as a trading source for other resources and in game items. The players that have been around longer have an opportunity to get prestige for free by trading essential things to newer players in return for resources. Now this would also be totally voluntary by both parties and everyone would be conducting these trades at their own risk as there would be no rock hard way to ensure you dont get screwed. short of a petition to the staff which just hinders the staff

You can link your bank account to paypal too.
Doesnt have to be a credit card.

Just saying, you have choices with Paypal.
Up to you to use it or not.

Never had any problems with Paypal.

i know, and i appreciate you having said so, i really thought it requiered credit card only and it was nice to know that it wasn't so...thank you again.


and i still have the "bring a friend in the game" thing to get prestige!!!

but my choice is: no paypal...

Paypal is the scum of the financial industry.  That said, when they are just the merchant processor for credit cards, it's a non-issue.  It's your card issuer that has all the power, and no loyalty to merchants.  You are their customer, and the longer you've used a card without incident, the more readily they will take your word over anyone else's.  This thankfully means you can easily get fraudulent charges or identity theft issues reversed through them regardless of any drama enacted by a merchant or merchant processor.

Incidentally, you are far, far more likely to have your identity/card info stolen in physical shops (and especially restaurants) than even most of the shadiest online venues that have been round for at least a couple months.  It's funny how paranoia so often misses the real threats.  What's more, I'm under the impression that European telecoms aren't as corrupt and incompetent as North American ones, but even so online banking (be it debit, credit, or even PayPal) remains far safer than letting your phone provider act as a blind billing broker.

Take it from a thoroughbred identity recluse:  I don't mean to be critical, but sooner or later the "won't let banking go online" attitude just won't fly.  Chances are your bank account is accessible online whether you use that capability or not, and you're not actually protecting yourself anyway.
