i think this would be early and not a great idea making a Prepaid card for Spiral Knights but think about it. What if you can reach/buy CE by just going to places like onestop shops or gaming shops where you can buy cards from the shelves? I mean, yea we got Wallie-card, debit/cedit card, paypal and those stuff but c'mon its like services such as those can't easily reach each and every states/countries the same right?
So what are the ods?
- "Availability" Not all people in the world can have a bank account(s) or online transaction accounts. what about those people that has the money but can't pay online around the world? by this way you could just walk on specific/specialty shops then grab and go.
- "Security" I have an idea/opinion/philosophy that the best method of paying securely right now is using cards that don't have a relationship(yeah if you think it would have intercourse, then humor me. that is your cute idea ^_^) with any of your bank accounts. come to think of it could be a posible aniti identity teft for those dogmatic folks/people who don't trust easily even if its written all over their faces on their LCD's.
- "Flow of online transaction(s)" No more money "hassle"hoff days and no more online recipts in emails(well its the card and the paper in your wallet) that can be tacked by ****wares(if there is any, lord please not.) in any PC(believe me. you don't know hackers when they tickle your "yours truly") and transactions would go faster! top-up and enjoy! Think, would you rather wait for money transfers and all those business days(always an "if" thing) or enjoy now?
Of course if there are the Pro's there are also Con's
- Since its too early to release/decide such ideas, you can simply say that it could either destroy the current ecconomy in Spiral knights. easy to say that there will be a large number of users that will gain too much access to CE or the value of CE would go down since the supply is high(a stupid idea from gas prices, correct me if im wrong). Its obvious that it would make economic imbalances in the game, probably(its just a theory) and kill the game early.
- Also the other participaing partners(like paypal or visa) of SK would sue them since, i think there is a conrtact on these kinds of things. (im not a law dude by the way)
- Dudes from SK would buy more time and effort to haggle new parters that would sell the card and all those stuff that are boring instead of making full focus and time on creating better and useful updates, and patches. Thus making the game more better, and cute, and interesting as ever.
- Please add up some ideas! i would appreciate Criticism!

Marketing wise, this idea should be done if the SK/Spiral knights is at its early maturity or matured state. thus it would be a great idea in the future to come. Also this idea would be nice if we got a feasible data over players or a population check that are willing to buy if this thing will click on the market.
thanks for reading and if able, yey! for posting. i wish this would have a meaningful discussion. i just notice people are lookin up for the same idea lol!
If you are posting an idea, don't post cons because it will make your idea look bad(unless you post possible solutions for the stated cons). Why did you make another thread about this when you could have just edit the old thread or made a new post on the thread? I also have seen someone say that an Ultimate Game Card works for this so why not use that?
