Hello there! My name is Nick and i\ve enjoyed Eve for quite a time now, yet allways on trial. Why? Because i live in Estonia, that's why... I don't have a credit card (our bank won't let me) and though i have enough money to spare for paying for a game i can't find a way to do it. PayPal needs my credit card wich i don't have. Western systems won't work with our banks without enourmous commissions. I've tried Webmoney using a Russian sites, but stucked there as well.

Question: Is tere a way to help me with my situation? With payment methods in Estonia? i'm not the guy who can sit all day before a monitor just to buy PLEX...

Have you tried a "top-up" style debit card? Should be able to get one on the net somewhere.

Top up cards are the way to go, Visa or Visa Electron (I'm pretty sure Eve takes these).

I've gotten a Bulgarian friend who had to get one so he could play Mmos with me and my friends over here in te UK.

Does anyone know any trusted place to buy those then?

Did you tell your bank what your problem is?

So, how about a prepaid credit card? They are fairly easy to get, since you only can spend the money thats on the card.

Tried using a prepaid visa card to pay for eve once. Couldn't get it to work, so I used it to buy a mug from the eve store and a burrito from a local restaurant.

Now have a visa card, which makes life easier. But in Estonia... hmm

Can you use Paypal in Estonia?

Ask your bank for a pre-paid credit card. Most banks issue those. Or just google "prepaid credit card estonia" you should get www.compareprepaid.co.uk link with international prepaid card there.

I don't know if it's possible in Estonia, but I use PayPal linked to my bank account, not to a credit card
