Glad to see this. Will you enable Karma Koin for Collection packs too?

[Grendel408]

Very cool

[WVAnonymous]

Too bad you have to physically buy a card, as far as I could tell. Feels like there should be an online only option for this.

Probably not... "Karma Koin Kollections" is just asking for trouble...

[Good_Cat]

Useless for those that don't live in North America or Autraila and New Zealand since we have to but a physical card.

Chances of an on-line option??

For those of us in the EU and the like.

Looks like I might be visiting Gamestop to grab some MC - been waiting for the next "sale"

[silentnukerecon]

Well it good that now I can buy MC again but I can't buy the Resistance Pack with it. Nothing showing up to buy it with the cards.

Karma Koins aren't sold at Wally World?

I thought they were - but when I checked their site, apparently not.
They do list Freddy's though

[The Hospitable Bel-Shamharoth]

because MWO uses US dollars. What will happen if I buy a voucher in New Zealand worth 30 NZ dollars and then use it to buy a 29.95 US dollar MC package?

I would assume something like this

Yeah, but Wal-Mart's where it's at, you know? (Just kidding! It got lame when they stopped using the smiley face as their logo and stopped giving away stickers at the door. )

Simple. US Griefers will automatically assume that NZ dollars are OP and demand a nerf. NZ Griefers will assume that American dollars are OP and demand a nerf. To satisfy everyone, both dollars will be nerfed disproportionately. NZ Dollars will find that their JJs are now locked to their corners, while American Dollars will find that their PPCs move at half their previous velocities.

...and then the world as we know it will end!

I can agree with the second half there - but for the first, my local Freddy's has always had a FAR better video game selection than Wally's has (games like Disgaea or other "lesser knowns" at Freddy's while Wally's has piles of "LEGO the Movie the Game" and "Avengers the Movie the Game" )

Online delivery for pilots in the UK: http://www.pcgamesup...mes/Karma-Koin/



Note it converts all currency bought on the cards to US dollars on the MWO site, but best to purchse US currency as an equivalency for convenience.

I didn't have a Freddy's growing up. Only a Wally World. *Sniff*

Seriously though, my town was so small that I still wonder, to this day, how it supported three major stores (Publix, Walmart, and Win-Dixie). We had four at one point, but Food Lion had to close.

PGI, for me, this is awesome! I'm so damn tired of having to call up my CC every time I want to buy something from you guys, its a pain in the ass. I even got one of those prepaid debbit cards last month just so I wouldn't have to deal with it, but the found out that they wouldn't pay to you guys in Canada (even though they say its accepted in Canada...). With this, now all I have to do is go take a nice, simple, pleasant drive to my local Gamestop to pick up a Karma Koin card. Much better than screaming at some poor person over the phone to stop flagging you guys every single time I buy MC, yet them continuing to flag every time I try to buy MC.

I just have one question - does it work with purchasing mech packs? Please, please, please do
