I'm not buying nothing. I don't care what little promo gimmicks you all try to pull now. This splitting of the playerbase has really left a bad, foul and disgusting taste in my mouth.

Just called my local gamestop and they don't carry SOE Pre-Paid cards.

Will the Wal-mart ones redeem for double the same way?

How does one tell if a GameStop is participatingor not?

Is it enough that they sell the cards or do they have to have signed up for the promotion somehow?

Only a thousand or so, see the "ProSiebenSat.1 Games Group FAQ Feedback Thread" thread in "General Gameplay Discussion"

I will certainly NOT be buying any gamecards after the alaplaya sellout, even if I could get any here, here is the gamecard page at Gamestop in Germany:-

http://www.gamestop.de/core/common/...4&genre=50o

anyone see SOE or EQ2? I don't

Dear SoE:

Don't waste your time e-mailing me trying to get me to buy things.  It is amazing how far this game has turned south from a content and professional standpoint in the last two years, and sending me e-mails wanting me to buy extra Station Cash or having "special" sales is sophomoric at best. 

How about e-mailing me a reason to log in and PLAY THE GAME?  I didn't get an e-mail about the double XP, what happened there?  What's that?  Double XP doesn't get you any extra money in your pocket?  Of course!

I hate being negative about EQ2, but the fact is this game is like a baby that needs it's diaper changed but no one cares to do it.

I figured it would be triple sc, xp, guild xp, loot bannanas and anything else under the sun to get the playerbase to forget the newest screw up, but this time it's a tad bigger and more permanent

I'd like to see an answer to this.

Also: the SC card site linked from the news bulletin seems to imply you can only redeem 500, 1000, and 1500-point cards as well as $15 one-month subscription cards.  Is that accurate?

So... Gamestop is selling these again?

Every store that I have been to in three states for the past few years has stopped carrying these.

You could offer a 10x SC promo and it still wouldn't make up for the latest fiasco.

Alas, no.  They make different cards for Game Stop and Walmart (I looked).

Someone asked if they charge tax on them:  depends on your locality.

I've been on a mission today to actually find a Gamestop that sells these cards. My local store's manager is ticked off that he wasn't informed of any promotion, stated he just restocked his card kiosk, and there is not a single, aka zero, SOE product card in it. So now, I've challenged five GameStop store managers, who've been very cooperative, to find me one of these cards. Honestly, if they can't sell the product in the time-frame of the promotion, they will understandably be angry as managers, and both SOE and GameStop should be, since they've lost out on a sale.

That's interseting, usually it's the Alaskan Game Stops near me that don't have them.  I went to a Game Stop last night and there was a shiny new stand-up selling game time cards of all types.  The back of the cards are set up to be activated on Game Stop's system, so any card you purchase there *should* work.

As for why SOE does promotions like this?  It's one of the ways they convince stores to carry their cards, with exclusive promotions.
