In May of 2012 I tried SW:TOR for the first time. I loved it and decided to subscribe, couldn't get my card accepted and when my 7 day trial was up, I gave up.
Now that it went Free to Play, I fell in love with the game again, and tried to subscribe.
I have tried THREE DIFFERENT CREDIT CARDS.
I have tried a VERIFIED PAY PAL.
I also tried all three cards on the origin site to buy a 60 day GTC (they don't accept Paypal for time cards)
Finally I went to some backwards Chinese website that provided me a photograph of a game time card with the code revealed... I just paid $40 for 2 months game time... because I can't pay for it any other way.
All the in-game improves are amazing, and I love the content, but please sort out the billing system, in 60 days I'll have to try this all again, and I hope I can pay via swtor.com instead of some Chinese site.
