I was just wondering if you can use a prepaid cradit like a visa gift card to purchase a faction change. Also with the faction change do you get to pick a new relam so you could be on your firends server.

Thanks =]

Q u o t e:
It really depends on the card itself. Auryk expands here:

Q u o t e:
Currently the prepaid credit cards are not officially supported on our site, ßulimic, but that is not to say they do not work. The reason players have issues with these cards normally lies with the fact we check your zip code against the one your financial institution has on file, as well as your name. Some prepaid credit cards do not have this information stored on their card, so when we ping to request and validate it, we are unable to match up the information. That being said, I do know of players that have tied prepaid credit cards and have been successful. I would suggest making sure that the card you purchase has a way to register an address and allowing a bit over the charge you are expecting to have to pay, to cover any pending charges that may be performed on the card.


Be sure that the card has enough funds to cover the Faction Change, plus a dollar or two to cover any "ghost charges" that may be held while the transaction processes. If you run into any issues, then it may be a good idea to give the Billing Department a call.

Also, to answer your second question, Faction Changes do not grant transfers. If you would like to switch realms, you will need to use the Paid Character Transfer service.
