So if I buy 25$ of credit...

That's 500 credits... plus it gets doubled to 1000? Or is it already doubled and I only get 500?

  • You get 1,000 in total: 500 now and then another 500 once we launch (i.e., when beta is over). If you have a suggestion on how to word it better, let us know — you were not the first person to be confused.

  • I think you should just add an example "Credits are doubled! If you buy 100 credits now, you'll get 100 now and 100 more when we launch in XX weeks!"

    So... when -do- you plan on launching? ;D

  • Wait so I thought I understood and now I'm confused after reading this.

    My thinking is in context when the game is launched. If I buy $25 worth of credit on launch day I will be given 500 credit correct?

  • "But wait, there's more! For every $10 you spend during Beta, you'll also receive one 100-pack of credit": Does this mean that when spending $25 we would actually get 1200 credits? Is that extra 200 also given at the end of beta?

  • I read it as this: If you buy X credits now, upon our launch you will receive that same amount as a thank you gift for helping us with beta testing. IN ADDITION, (just because we love you) for every $10 you spend you will also receive an extra 100 credits.

    So I think your math is correct Sheperd-how cool is that?!

  •  Will it be possible to use paypal to buy credit. That's my preferable method of purchase those days.  I don't like to use RL credit, and with paypal I can use my checking account cash.

  • I don't see where the credit card information is encrypted. Am I missing something?
    Certainly none of us nor Glitch would want CC info unprotected.

  • Mystbecky, it is secure and encrypted. The url is: beta.glitch.com/checkout/ (the https at the start of the url tells you your connection to our server is encypted).

    What are you looking for and not seeing that makes think it is unencrypted?

    Thanks!

    I surely hope paypal will be an option in the near future, because I don't have a credit card..and I understood from people outside the US that making an exchange in a foreign currency (for me and them US dollars) is costing extra. As far as I understood paypal is a possible option in the future..I sure hope so and hope it will be in the near future to be able to make purchases in beta time and benefit the same as people who already buy credits.

    big hug!

    The *day of launch* might make the example tougher, but: right now, $25 will get your 500 credits now and another 500 credits after we launch. After launch, $25 will just get you 500 credits.

  • Shepherdmoon & Mystbecky: you are missing part of that sentence! The whole thing reads: "For every $10 you spend during Beta, you'll also receive one 100-pack of credits and a free month subscription to give away to friends. It's nice to be nice."

    The extra credit pack and month subscription are to give away to friends — they won't go into your account. However, we aren't going to do anything to stop people from "swapping" them so if you want to trade with another tester to give each other your bonus packs (rather than say a new player or some other friend) that's fine.

  • Tibbi & Atlantis74: Yes, we will add PayPal. No ETA now, but we will make sure it happens in time that anyone who needs to use PayPal has a chance to take part in any special offers, etc.

  • Thank you so much. I didn't go as far as the checkout. I do understand that the extra credits are for after launch. I love it that you read our questions.

    Big Hugs to Eric & Stoot Thx

  • @stoot barfield: Ooooohhhhhh, now that makes sense! That sentence was a bit ambiguous...

  • re: Paypal in time for special offers. That would be awesome!
