Not a single 'Arc Zen' card found in stores? Solution for new people or people that don't know!

Attention players stop wasting your time using your credit card on this site! If you don't feel comfortable leaving your billing information on here. And yes I can trust Cryptic and PWE, but still hackers can steal information here more easily on this site I think.

Not a single 'Arc Zen' card found in stores?! And I looked everywhere! Target, Gamestop, Walmart, CVS Pharmacy, and Walgreens; I didn't try Best Buy because I had doubt. All I found was Blizzard, Nexon, NC-Soft prepaid cards, and not a single Arc or PWE prepaid card!

Probably why no one sells Zen as often on the game currency (Zen->Astral Diamonds & Astral Diamonds->Zen) exchange is because there is no Arc cards sold in stores? Probably somewhere, but I didn't find any!

I'm a veteran of Perfect World International and I always bought prepaid cards at Walgreens or Walmart back in the day. My guess is that no one was really buying them these days and so local stores stopped selling them.

So the best solution, if people don't know how to obtain them? I just found this out and you don't have to get in the car to drive to store to search on some wild goose chase egg find!

Yeah it's 2018 as I type this, but this seems like the way prepaid cards are done now. Just seems awkward now these days.



AN EXAMPLE!

https://walmart.com/ip/Perfect-World-20-Email-Delivery/42351564

There is $10, $20.... and so on.

Make sure you are on a legitimate site! ;) The code was legit by my first brought code for Neverwinter from Walmart (Online-EMail Delivery), but just being down-to-earth about it. Just buy it from Walmart, Best Buy, or any official site! No third-party sites, even though it might be sold cheaper to trick you or grab your attention. I looked online and I'm aware of these things. Just using my common sense of what I came across online from engine searches.

< Probably best not to even mention the website I removed. -Ambisinisterr >


USD currency and it states you can't activate it! :s LOL these sellers have no common sense! That's the fine print trick LOL! :s

OK OK just kidding here, perhaps it's more for Russian server, since Poland is near Russia. Still doesn't seem right on price and it should be the actual price.

$5 USD dollars=500 zen
$10 USD dollars=1000 zen

Everyone knows how it works! 2.59 USD seems like a scam for people that live in Poland! I don't know if you have to convert US to Poland to Russian or whatever the conversion is? Still doesn't seem right and this is the only site that seemed like a scam to me. Anyways be careful and make sure it's a legitimate site!

$5 USD=18.68500 Poland currency.



How it works. Well duh!

    I know of probably 4 or 5 Wal-Marts within 35 miles around me that have probably 30 to 40 of the cards in each stores. Same for the 3 or 4 Best Buys that are near to me. Now yes one of the Wal-Marts the cards won't work, they can not be rung up and no one in the store know how to fix it, but that is another issue entirely. This is in central Ohio.

    I don't get it. If you're going it pay online anyways, what does it matter where you do it (vs Arc I mean)? You're so sure those cannot be stolen information from? Arc would offer similar protection and if anything, their increased popularity makes those sites more susceptible.

    Different country has different level of fraud protection. The customer liability level is not the same from country to country. In mine, I know I pretty much fully protected. However, I also know there are countries that do not have the same level (I was surprised too).

    Yeah I know, but some people don't know about this alternative. I played PWI, back in the day, and it was different. I swear I can't find a single Arc Zen Card anywhere! I know it's an obvious alternative for some, but not everyone knows this, so I posted a forum. That's all :3

    Temporary information is better than leaving information on here. Whatever you do, it's just me. Still I trust Cryptic and PWE, just I believe some don't like to leave credit info on sites. Just more convenient on my end, just in case ;)

    My Credit Union offers me a free Visa card number with a limit on how much can be taken out. If I plan to make an online purchase, I can say I need $30 put in that virtual Visa card number. Then there is no direct access to my bank account and no way for them to remove more than $30. Shop safe!

    You can also buy VISA gift cards instead. That’s what I did back when I still though NW was worth paying for.
