But i do agree it is odd they don't allow recurring subs via Paypal , as Paypal has the functionality to set up subscriptions . Apart from the games mentioned things like server rental use the same recurring subscription system , and work fine via Paypal .

Hopefully they will look into it and fix it soon for those who's banks are " awkward " .
Skandiabanken for me (scandinavian online-only bank). From what they told me during our online-chat this wasn't really so much involving them but rather how VISA (my card type) chose to handle it - so whether it works or not I guess it will tend to be much the same over many different banks in a region.

I sort of agree with you that its not stricktly SOEs fault, but it would obviously still behoove them to offer enough payment-options so that everyone who wants to pay can do so without issue. If this turns out to be an issue for many people then that could significantly impact their revenue and that would be bad for everyone involved.

As said I would really like to see Paypal being an option regardless (and perhaps other online methods also). Being able to use credits card only seems a bit old-fashioned and I am increasingly reluctant to give that sort of information away to these sorts of services that unfortunately have a nasty habit of being targeted by hackers these days. It just seems like it shouldn't be necessary when we have better options.

So there is no chance we will ever be able to pay with anything except creditcards? Man, I wanted to buy a membership (12 months to be exactly).
You'll lose a whole lot of potential income this way, you know that right?

Very surprising considering SOE's breach history. Would far prefer they see my email address and a subscription reference code vs. my card details next time you're popped - no offense.

I think it would be a good idea to offer broad PayPal support. It would mean more potential business for them. At least the option to buy digital 30 day, 3 month, 6 month and 12 month purchases if not regular monthly PayPal charges.
