Greetings MechWarriors,

We will be discontinuing support for Karma Koin as a payment method for MechWarrior Online on March 30th, 2016. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to those players who use Karma Koin for their purchases.
Karma Koin will still be available as an option up until the end of March, but as of March 30th at 12:00 PM PST Karma Koin will no longer be offered as a payment method for MechWarrior Online.

In the meantime, if you would like to merge separate Karma Koin cards or balances together into a single balance, you can do so here: http://karmakoin.com...s/combine_cards
You can check the current balance for your Karma Koin card(s) here: http://karmakoin.com...s/check_balance



We do support a wide assortment of region-specific Global Payment methods as alternatives to Karma Koin, such as a paysafecard or Pay Near Me.
A complete list of supported payment options for your region can be found by selecting the 'Pay with Global Payments' option at the checkout screen and selecting 'Show More Methods' underneath the 'Popular Payment Methods' section.

This sucks :/

I'm sure you and the other two people will get over it with a group hug.

The technical issue is that there are sites that do legit discounts on Karma Koin (even $5 off a $50 card goes a long way) and that in itself eats into whatever PGI is paying them for redeeming those cards.

Derek, I hope you're aware that some of the 2nd place prize winners in your last challenge giveaway (Revenge of the Originals) have yet to receive their Karma Koin prize codes.

Do hope you get back to all the winners asap, especially the Karma Koin winners. An explanation would be fine if you're financially tied up. We're not inconsiderate people.

I used Ultimate Game Time cards to purchase everything I bought in MWO. I would get the cards for 20% off and buy MC for 20% off. I saved a lot of money compared to the retail price my account is worth. Once Ultimate Game Time cards ceased operation MWO went to Karm Koin. I stopped supporting MWO due to CW debacle that it is but the game time cards were the best way to save money on in-game things you just had to wait for sales on cards and couple them up with MWO sales.

DeathLike... it was always a Scam... you remember from October 2014 when this was released?

Last Year(2014s) for Black Friday they had a 20 percent of MC Sale that you could just buy online.. (Year before that was 50 percent I believe)

I checked out Karma Koin website and you have to have a physical Card.... you cannot buy it online...[/color]
This is what I found on their HOME PAGE..



you could only buy in certain increments which left you with .05 cents left on cards.. .

True.. you could combine cards to get those monies back but in the end PGI's scam backfired and they themselves were scammed... read the old thread about it...

I bought from online retailers (they simply e-mail you the code). It was never an issue for me (I'm sure it may have been an issue for others though).

[LORD TSARKON]

More Proof how crappy Karma Koin really is...

Overall just bad business (screwing over the consumer).... plus PGI was getting screwed over... and that was the last straw

Karma Coin is just like a Chameleon I suppose. It comes and goes...comes and goes.

[TamCoan]

I use karma coins as my main purchase method. Go in to the Speedway with an extra 20, drop it on a mech pack and don't have to think about it. Kinda sucks that I can't do that anymore. Ah well, first world problems.

Yeah, I'm a bit embarassed to say that that is the problem....

I kinda, well, bounced checks on a purchase awhile ago on some Front end alignments for one of my cars.... and that's been hell trying to fix it because the bounce was so bad.

Nope your children, nieces, nephews and other young relations will keep dragging you back in. Simply put, there is no escape.

*stuff*

Sorry to confront you like this. If you wanna talk about this privately, I've been in touch with the other 1st place winners (Endimra, Myyrath formerly Lunatech, Seal Farmer. Nightingale27 seems to be on an MWO break). You will want to reach out to the other runner ups too to see if any of them wanna give up their prizes. For your reputation and all. If you'd like, I'll update the giveaway thread with your finicially tight situation so the other winners can come back to you if they still wanna claim prizes or not. Just give me a whistle when you can.

I am in the boat of "This Sucks".

My debit card hates it when I make 2+ purchases in a row going to Canada. They even shut my card off once when I did one of the packages. (think it was the Marauder).

easier to swing by gamestop pick up a 2-100 (variable card) and buy the packages that way. Was 3 purchases on the Kodiak.
