As we down here know that we do not exactly use the same Dollars as USA does. So as I went off to get some karma koin in one of the only times I can possibly, I wanted to get 60 USD-ish + for the Resistance II package to get up to the black knight. HOW EVER I had the misfortune of being a bit short due to not converting properly, I got 75 NZD of karma koin and I am around 55 dollars in USD.... 5 dollars short.

Always do your conversions before you buy folks. Otherwise you will be a derp like me who will only get the early bird bonus award only up to the crab instead of the black knight.

Silly me...

Also if anyone is wondering why I felt the need to make htis post it is for a few reasons.

1) gentle reminder to not do made up conversions and hope it would work so you do not get in a stuck situation like me.
2) This subforum needs more activity and I think more 'casual' chatter would help strengthen this sub community more ^^
3) I am not secretely hopping someone gives me 1-ish dollars of karma koin. It's because I love you guys. :ph34r:

It's not hard to get caught out by the conversion rates.

FWIW just bought a Wrath gift pack for someone, through paypal the conversion rate was au$1=0.76c US so the $80 pack actually cost over $105

What sounds good often isn't.

Went to see via MW: O directly to see how off I am from 60 dollars.

52 cents... (0.52 dollars).

MW: O is having a giggle at me today.

Can you buy in euro? Is it still cheaper to buy in euro?

Not quite sure.

I do not see any settings on the page to buy it to set it to other currencies.

If you can find it, you will be a Saint. (just send it over PM, ^^; )

How can I ever repay you?

I have quite a large range of mechs, if you want to verse me in a custom match to test out the opposition mech or to see how a build performs in said mech you can ask.
as well as talk to me if you can't decide what mech to get and/or what build(s) for them. being a non meta player I can tell you a whole range of builds that can suit your needs, or push you out of your comfort zone into something new that you may enjoy.

Just some stuff I think I can help repay you. ^^;
