For the record PayByCash & Ultimate Game Card are the worst things to happen to F2P/micropayment based MMOs ever (and to a lesser extend P2P as well). I don't know why this is even a payment option for so many sites but between PayByCash's 10% "service fee" and Ultimate Game Card's 10% "service fee" on top of that.

In the end tthey tack another 20% in various fees to every single purchase. 0.o;;

I don't know why so many MMOs have been promoting this payment method but surely there are alternatives for those unwilling to use PayPal or lack CCs...

Sometimes there is no other option: I used to use PaybyCash to pay for Vanguard, as SOE do not accept Visa Electron and I will not open another bank account to obtain different CC just to pay for a game.

What I cannot understand is lack of simple wire transfer or paypal payment option in so many games.

I know many people hate PayPal. Hell I hate PayPal but at least PayPal doesn't tack 10-20% extra to use it to pay for stuff.

If you live in the US get a Visa Gift Card. Wallmart and Target has them and so does banks. They are as good as a credit card to purchase online goods including subscriptions. No need for a credit card
