Wilks Checkov Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 THE IDEA. . . Having a store that we can access similar options to the Kickstarter available for a brief period of time, but instead of using only credit cards it works with PayPal. THE REASON. . . It would open up a whole new field of backers to NovaQuark, potentially a whole new income stream that could be used to back the game. It also allows those that are not able to support the game with credit cards or those that had something in their real life come up that interfered with their ability to support the game to have a second chance at backing the game. THE QUESTION. . . So at NovaQuark, do you agree that a store should be made available, even if for a brief period of time, to allow others to have an ability to back the game by another means. If you feel that it is a good idea - please let us know. . . Thanks - The Dual Universe community And should anyone have any thoughts or opinions, feel free to leave them below.

ShinyMagnemite Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 I never use my PayPal, but just because of that I wouldn't want to limit another person's ability to pay. So I support this. Wilks Checkov 1
Wardion2000 Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 The Resident Space Wizard approves this message. Wilks Checkov and yamamushi 2
guttertrash Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 to clarify are you suggesting NQ open up paypal payments to them? or are you suggesting another entity be created to fill this purpose? because i'm all for the former, but i wouldn't support the latter
Wilks Checkov Posted October 7, 2016 Author Posted October 7, 2016 Would be the former guttertrash - primarily for the reason it would allow another set of backers "those who do not have or want to use credit cards" to back the game. It also gives those who were not able to back with Kickstarter a second chance. Wilks Checkov 1
StoneLegionYT Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 I hope with a slight increased fee for fee justification and not backing originally. Wilks Checkov 1
Violet Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Yeah I think this is a good idea, there is precedent for it with star citizen. The majority of pledges to them came after their kick-starter finished, selling access to the beta or allowing people to fund the extra stretch goals is basically zero risk to NQ Wilks Checkov 1
Velenka Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 I approve this idea. Open a Paypal thingy NQ! Wilks Checkov 1
yamamushi Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 If paypal is going to be an option post-Kickstarter, please limit the amount of high-tier pledges that can be bought with it. It would hurt to see an unlimited supply of lifetime subscriptions for sale after Kickstarter :-/ Wilks Checkov 1
Anasasi Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 I like the idea, would give me the ability to repurchase my pledge that I had to dump because of RL issues.Though I agree with Yama, we can't have too many pledges that give lifetime subs, etc. Wilks Checkov 1
SyranAngel Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 I Support this idea, so more People around the world are able to back the game whose got no credit Card, and for me to find my way further into the Forums here observing some intresting organisations nice to become a participant and testing this game.
Wilks Checkov Posted October 15, 2016 Author Posted October 15, 2016 Well - after several attempts I admit defeat. Just hope we have a chance to buy that lifetime sub when the paypal shop comes out. Daredevil 1
GrimReaper Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Well - after several attempts I admit defeat. Just hope we have a chance to buy that lifetime sub when the paypal shop comes out. Have you tried calling your bank/provider?
Novark Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Well - after several attempts I admit defeat. Just hope we have a chance to buy that lifetime sub when the paypal shop comes out. So that means you failed to be / not counted as a Kickstarter Backer ?
Wilks Checkov Posted October 15, 2016 Author Posted October 15, 2016 Everything that could be done - has been done. . . "In other words I have tried every option available"
GrimReaper Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 I'm curious, what did they end up saying? If it's not too personal that is. Was it just a card unsupported by Kickstarter? If that is the case, you could potentially look into a prepaid virtual visa card. Not entirely sure how that would work in your case, but I know people have found success in that area with other websites. I haven't met anyone who had to do that for Kickstarter, but it could be a solution. I think Mastercard also has an equivalent. Something to look into, if you still have time.
Deacon Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I voted yes, even though I don't use paypal. I feel that any backing is good backing.
Daphne Jones Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 I was very annoyed that I couldn't use Paypal for the KS. My debit card worked, but I prefer not to put that number out there.
GrimReaper Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 I was very annoyed that I couldn't use Paypal for the KS. My debit card worked, but I prefer not to put that number out there. Huh, I've never understood this viewpoint. You can just use a prepaid debit card, with the specified amount for the singular purchase. Purchase-able at your local Wal-Mart, or any store for that matter. The only anti-KS I understand is from those who do not have cards supported by KS. I know a lot of people outside of the US have that problem. Although, I have to wonder if Visa, MC, and the lot offer prepaid cards in other countries, I've never tried to find out I guess.

(Not gonna make a special trip to Walmart and waste time figuring out how prepaid cards work.)

(Not gonna make a special trip to Walmart and waste time figuring out how prepaid cards work.) If you can spend the time to figure out how purchasing bananas work, you can find time to purchase a prepaid card. Takes like 30 seconds ^^ Another good method is to have a separate account setup for online transactions, with far more anti-fraud measures in place. Transaction limits, daily limits, not even sure what's all available these days. Most banks are also very good at righting fraudulent purchases. I can respect your decision, but I don't think it's a problem with KS at that point.
Daredevil Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Well - after several attempts I admit defeat. Just hope we have a chance to buy that lifetime sub when the paypal shop comes out. That is exactly what I am waiting for!!
