European players, attention

[Leadoffhitter]

Sorry for creating a new thread, but the first one was to ask for a doubt and this one tries to focus attention on the thread. I consider it important enough to do it. Thanks.

20 US $ = 18000 ximerin

20 € = 18000 ximerin

but the actual currency exchange for the euro/US dolar is: 1 € = 1.56 US $

the actual currency exchange US dolar/euro is: 1 US $ = 0.64 €

It means that people paying in US $ getting 18000 ximerin is paying in fact 12,8 euros...

While people paying in euros is paying 20 € for the same amount of ximerin...


If NGD wants to put US $ as the main way of payment:

20 US $ = 18000 ximerin

20€ = 30,2 US $

30,2 US $ = 18000 xime + 8500 xime + 0,2 US $

so 26500 xime and 0,2 US $ in my account...



Waiting for european feedback, please

By the way I agree that it's outrageous, I'm just pointing out the existing threads already. NGD's excuse is that they are only perpetuating a practice already common to multinationals (akin to stealing imho).

I don't now if it's common but my European card allow me to order things online in dollars (with a small penalty but would be more cheaper than 1 $ = 1 €). We should be allowed to pay in the money we want, or if my case is common, just remove the possibility to pay in euros.

By the way, I think it's illegal, two prices for the same product (since a Xim in Europe is the same as a Xim in US). Other multinationals have to face different costs for selling in different countries.

Yes, the problem is that NGD set up Paypal so that depending your country of residence, you are forced to use a given devise.

Yes, I wonder when they are going to look into other methods of payment, phone, cellphone, cash, etc.

If they did more people like myself would have Xim available

No you wouldn't, because you stopped playing, remember?

[NightTwix]

this has been discussed since the introduction of Xim.

NGD's opinion is that Euro based countries have a higher buying power than Dollar based countries.
Which is of course true for some but not for all. Anyway, they had to draw a line somewhere and so they decided to lump together whole europe (probably Paypal plays a role there too.

I personally can understand that you cant micromanage every detail and consider the GDP of every single country.
No doubt i would prefer to pay in Dollar too *lol* and also no doubt that there would be a higher Xim revenue in europe if it was equally priced

but its NGD's decision so be it

He said that he would have Xim available, not that he would buy it .

It's possible, and it wouldn't take too much time (hours to decide the currency exchange and change every way of payment). I'm used to PayPal online sale system and it allows it.

Level of life in the States is waaaaaaaay higher than in my country.
