i know cause they wont except walmart CC you put say 60$ on and use it then throw it away cause it isnt issued and they cant tell whether the person using it is a thief or not so this idea is great

Man..but to that they would be only usefull to USA!! i think they can do even better!... like sending a MSG by your cellphone saying like "400 Fallensword Points" or "25 Fallensword Points"---then after you send the MSG to their number you automaticly get a Code then you go to upgrades at FS and post the code!... and this should be able to ALL the Countrys!...

may be a heck of a lot of work to get going (printing cards, distribution, etc not to mention price of the endeavour... but perhaps there is a company that can take of everything to ease the burden) but the idea is solid. additionally, it offers another form of advertising to HCS.

no, looks like I'm the only one who voted for that, and that leads us to why...
1, FS looks like bad guys taking pocket money from 13 y/o's (the games admin likes it to be a 13+ game) so it could look bad for them.
2, Stolen money to pay for the 'gift' card that's then subsequently spent on the thief. (multiple variations of this)
3, Administration of the implementation of the 'card' scheme, that only happens in a few nations and not all nations. So if it was only started on a trial basis in Christian countries, how do Muslim / Jewish / Shinto or other religious countries react?
It's a nice idea, but I doubt it will ever happen, just over 2 million registered users globally (minus the terminated, banned, alts - so maybe 500,000 users tops (more likely 50,000) - although we'll never get a true number of active accounts) and the cost to implement a card? It's cost prohibitive for such a small company to do so.
