In addition to what Timrath says, there are many ways to use PayPal.  My preference is to use it not at all.   If I use it nevertheless it's prepaid, in other words, I transferred money from my bank to PayPal, and spend it on arrival, no credit card involved.  The transfer takes one or two days.  

Illyriad's idea of a bonus weekend is apparently Saturday 7:00 to Monday 7:00 server time, that's 9:00 in my local time.  My chances to transfer money now (done), and it arrives before Monday 7:00 at PayPal, and I'm online in time to spend it for a bonus weekend, are slim at best.  Suggestions:
  • Either extend bonus weekends to cover whatever passes as weekend in all timezones, or announce bonus weekends on Thursdays in a time zone of your choice.
  • List prices in relevant currencies such as USD or EUR.  I'm lost with GBP, it used to be about 11 DEM four decades ago.

Unfortunately, I cannot ever buy any prestige, because you only accept credit cards. Even with PayPal, the only way of payment is via credit card, so I went through the trouble of registering with them for nothing. I thought the whole purpose of PayPal was to make credit cards unnecessary. On top of that, to my astonishment, your system won't accept continental European debit cards (Maestro cards), even though the Maestro logo is displayed alongside the various credit card logos.
Credit cards are not as widely used in Europe as in the US. Other browser games accept credit transfer via bank.

A few months ago, there was a player from New Zealand (he has since quit), who couldn't get any option to buy prestige in his country at all, not even via Pay by Mobile. His country just wasn't listed!

Speaking of Pay by Mobile: I planned on buying 1200 prestige. However, there is no such option available for me. I can only buy batches of 26, 48, 72 and 120. Now, to buy 1200 prestige in that way, I would have to shell out 10x5€ for a total of 50€, for something that normally would only cost 24.57€ plus conversion fee, if a credit transfer option were available, or debit cards from my country were accepted, or PayPal would work as I imagined it would.

There actually are people here who are eager to give you their money, but you just won't let them. Perhaps you should consider expanding your transaction accessibility. I can't be the only one with that problem. How do other continental Europeans get around this barrier?
