he said it ships from a warehouse so he can't just send the code. But $14-16 isn't bad at all for 2 months of gametime. Most mmos charge twice that.
What's this about him "scratching off 3-4 cards"?

What's this about him "scratching off 3-4 cards"? Ok say for example I was to sell you time cards over eBay. You don't actually need the physical card, all you want is the code. So to lower the price I would be asking from you, I could offer to open the box here, scratch the card and simply email you the code. That would reduce postage and packing to 0. But since you can only activate one card at a time, if you were to buy more than one card of me that way, you would have paid me, but I would know the codes you would be using for the next half year.

ahhhhh! Guess we'd better just stick to buying one at a time then [edit:] since the same could happen even with us buying physical cards. It's probably much less likely though

The physical cards are sealed box, if they've been in opened condition we can return them. I think I'm gonna just order 2x and pay the ridiculous $3.50 for an extra card shipping Sigh @ international shipping, it's gonna be like 2 weeks D:

oh my god why does canada get so screwed D: I wonder how long the shipping would take. If it's gonna be like 2 weeks, I guess I might as well just purchase a regular subscription to gold now while I wait :/ With the no reconversion after converting silver to gold, our current chars will either be unplayable in our choice of as soon as we go gold, or after we return. screw amiga

Don't worry, I'm sure the US will be getting the same higher shipping costs as well when it comes time to pay for our new health care legislation.

No, but they'll have to tax and tariff everything through the nose to pay it

No, but they'll have to tax and tariff everything through the nose to pay it ^^political conversations that I refuse to enter back to CO, I'll probably be buying my gold card this week. Can't wait to start building a freeform, but it's a little daunting since I'm used to having much less choice

I've been playing freeforms so long I can't play any of the AT's (I've tried to play them beyond just testing how they work and get bored fast). I even have issues playing other games with set class systems...though I will be getting back to my other games soon...

What I have problem with and can't do in other games anymore is slowly walking from one place to the next. Where is my lightspeeed, superspeed, swinging, rocket jumping etc?

I just see so much talk about gimped freeforms, I worry that I'll fall into the same traps. The idea of retconning and testing a million powers sounds so tedious. I wanna play the game, not test out how I'll play it

I wanna play the game, not test out how I'll play it You're a bright fellow. As long as you read the power descriptions to find out what powers compliment what you'll generally do fine in building a freefrom. Then there's always bugging the right people on the forums or ingame when you have an idea you're not sure of. The good news is that the game has been around long enough and there are enough experienced builders that you don't really have to test much if you don't want to. Chances are you can find someone who already has tested what you think up.
