Paying on an account linked to steam
I started playing a few days ago, and I find myself enjoying the game. When I started playing, for ease, i picked the 'log in with steam' function, so I didn't have to sign up somewhere.
Now I have come to the conclusion that I feel I could spare some money on the game, so I wanted to buy crystal energy and I clicked the 'check out' button ingame, it lead me to my steam wallet. I don't use the steam wallet, I don't want to, the payment options aren't very handy for my location. I want to pay via mobile phone, you can do that, but apparently ONLY if your account isn't linked to steam, you need an account made on the website or something i'm guessing.
Now I'm frustrated because my account is linked to steam and I can't buy crystal energy, I don't have a credit card, and other payment methods aren't avaible here, it's mainly a hassel to get them. Mobile phone payment would be ideal for a small transaction like this.
I don't want to start over on a new account because i'll lose all the progress I made, is there any way I can pay via mobile phone, without having to change accounts. Steam wallet doesn't have a mobile phone payment option if you were wondering.
Am I missing something? Englighten me.
Well if it's just a few days then there's no problem at all. Are you sure about this though, I mean did they confirm it?
As long as you don't want a starter pack with its items you can make a normal spiral knights account and buy ce with it and then just send the CE with the ingame mail system to your steam character.
Yeah, just make another account for SK not on steam and buy the CE on there and send it to your account.
I do it alot, actually.

One week ago today, the Community manager announced that "We will be adding the ability to do this! The ETA is sometime next week. Enjoy!"
That's this week. So if nothing goes wrong, it will be implemented in the next few days.
(Please know that when you try to get two completely different programs to communicate properly with one another... a lot of things CAN go wrong. So there are no guarantees. Keep your fingers crossed!)
*Sorry for bumping nearly a month-old topic guys =P*
I'm having the same problems as the person in the first post. I'm playing Spiral Knights on Steam, and I do not have a credit/debit card to use the Steam Wallet. I tried downloading the game from the website, but whenever I try to log on it simply says that the account is linked to Steam and I have to log on by using Steam. Is there any other way (apart from making two accounts) to pay by mobile phone, while using Steam?
Nope, there is no way outside of making another official SK account.
Ah well, I thought that would be the case. I might try to ask my friend to buy me some CE and I'd give him the cash back. Thanks anyway!
*And wow, that was a fast reply. Usually on forums it takes at least a few hours to get a reply...*
EDIT: Actually, I just tried making another account. I just tried to log in and I got this message: "You cannot create any more free accounts from this computer."
...
Use the website to make a purchase of CE, after that you will be able to login to that account as it will be marked as an paid account.
They should be adding the ability to link Steam and SK accounts soon.
If you feel like you can wait a few more days without spending your money, I'm sure everything will work out.
