Title: Re: Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash Post by: schild on May 02, 2006, 08:08:57 AM This has to be fictional. Implying that any of these people would withdraw cash for a date proves it.

Or is it just hype? Namely, I can log in via a browser and "pay" (transfer) funds to anyone with an account already set up. Is that all they're doing? I won't PE and don't know if they include a browser like EVE.

This can't be possible. I must learn to code! Title: Re: Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash Post by: Lantyssa on May 02, 2006, 09:19:56 AM Good luck to anyone trying to withrdraw.
A friend and I put in a miniscule amount of money once (we played it long enough that it was cheaper than any current MMO), got lucky on a few loots, and still haven't seen our cash a year and a half later. Of course the balance is zero on the character and customer service never responds. Title: Re: Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash Post by: Sky on May 02, 2006, 12:56:45 PM That's exactly the negative factor this ATM feature is supposed to address.
Methinks this should turn out to be funny. Title: Re: Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash Post by: Mesozoic on May 02, 2006, 01:10:30 PM Good luck to anyone trying to withrdraw.

Title: Re: Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash Post by: Lantyssa on May 02, 2006, 07:45:46 PM Quite possible. It really wasn't worth pursuing a tiny claim on a foreign company though. Considering we went into it expecting to burn all the cash on ammo in the first place, we simply accepted it as "lessoned learned, don't put more in".

The forum is full of good ideas today! I mean err... :nda: Title: Re: Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash Post by: sinij on May 04, 2006, 04:09:53 PM Now Chinese farmers don't have to go through pains of selling gold, they can just withdraw it from ATM.
