Is there a way to buy zen other than through arc, I know I was able to buy it through the old website not that long ago, but it seems like that page is no longer available. No offense, but considering all the issues arc has been having lately I trust it about as far as I can throw a bull elephant and would rather not put my credit card info into that system.

Heart peirced, the light flowed.
And from the dust of Sagittarrius,
I crafted a bow.

    Yes because somehow spending your money on something you want is related to low self esteem.

    I would like to, strongly, suggest that you get yourself a PayPal account as it is used through a large variety of online transactions.
    In my personal opinion, I would say that PayPal is pretty safe and I have used it for the past 10 years.

    There is no relevance to low self esteem; in fact that post may say that you have bought things out of low self esteem.

    Spending money for entertainment isn't a form of low self esteem.

    Exactly...
    Not a large casher myself. But for those who put hate on people who cash just need to stop.

    Whether you buy 100 packs, or ticket to a football game or to a concert.
    Your spending money for entertainment.

    Some people work overtime in RL so they don't have time to farm.
    But put some money in from their overtime to the game as part of their farming.

    If you complain about cashers, then get another job, and become a casher yourself.

    How much time do you spend farming in Game daily?
    Lets say 2 hours a day, and 5 hours a weekend.
    Lets say you get a basic job paying $8 an hour.

    5x2 = 10 (weekdays)
    2x 5 = 10 (weekend)
    20 x 8 = 160 - taxes ~ 125 (something like that).

    125 x 2.4(about current gold rate on Dreamweaver) = 300m

    300m / 20 = 15m per hour. (Most people can't farm close to that even with 2x on)

    Or you can keep some of the cash for RL stuff and spend some cash as you choose.



    Anyways, cash in a game you play all the time, or buy a ticket to a show or event that you'll get to enjoy for a few hours. Or rotate. b:pleased

    I haven't had any issues with Arc other than when there is an update to it.

    As for cash shoppers, I am one. PWI is entertainment and I get hours of entertainment from it, so as such, I spend money towards it, but I can afford to do so. And regards to PayPal, I've been a user almost since its inception and I've never had an issue. Only issues I've had in regards to PWI is delayed transfers twice due to an issue on PWI's side that was rectified within a couple of hours the first time and a day the second.

    Well you are partially right, I have nothing else to do in my life... mainly because I am virtually housebound due to a crippling disability. I have a rather nasty neurological disorder. I've already lost all feeling in my left arm from my elbow down, my left leg from my knee down, my right foot, parts of my face, and in parts of my back and it is continuing to spread. The nerves that aren't already dead, are oversensitive and send incorrect pain messages. Image having it feel like someone is slowly pushing dozens of icicles into your back every time you take a breathe or red hot iron rods up into your leg whenever you walk, or just out of nowhere have pain radiate throughout your entire body. As horrible as this might sound, it's when the pain stops that you really get scared; because as long as you are in pain you know your nerves are still working.

    There are many things I wish I could go out and do, but it's just not an option; so I find my few pleasures at home, playing games, reading books, watching movies, that sort of thing. Hopes this clears up any misconceptions.

    Also Fae, PWI makes money from this method. They ofcourse spent the most time and paid attention to this with intricate detail, because if they didn't, they wouldn't make money, or **** something up and have a lawsuit.

    So ya, I would say its plenty safe to use ARC.

    I just hate how, when you charge, you have to select which game and which server right then and there. I'd much rather have the choices after like it used to be.

    Oh, I didn't realize it was the same system. It looked much different, so I thought it was going through arc. Good to know, thanks for the info. b:thanks
