Halifax Bank Blocks World of Warcraft Subscriptions

[Hutch]

The Halifax Bank and The Bank Of Scotland are no longer allowing gamers to subscribe to WoW through their bank. They claim the decision was made based on the fact that World Of Warcraft subscriptions have an “unusually high incidence of credit card fraud”. However, they will process payments from customers who contact the bank and verify identity.

If a customer does want to subscribe to a game site operated by Blizzard, using a Halifax or Bank of Scotland credit card, we can arrange for the payments to be processed for them if they contact us.

Although this isn’t technically Blizzard’s issue, they really need to take some steps to prevent fraud.
If other banks around the world take the same measures, it could mean a serious drop in revenue created by World of Warcraft.

Otherwise... BUY A TIME CARD... if you really have to play WoW...

All I think it shows is that WoW players steal inorder to feed their dirty habits... like crack whores.
Also, CVG is never wrong.

A bit of a extreme comparison Wow players and crack addicts, i can see where you coming from though.

[Isphera]

You talk of it as an addiction and i personally take that to offense for the main reason i am not addicted and can proudly say i can put it down and play another game. For example, when i play DFBHD with a clan. So sorry, no its not if you HAVE to play WoW, its if you WANT to play WoW

[Isphera]

Damn. Fucking. Straight.
