Here at Eternal, I'm always looking for ways to advance us forward. Lately, I've heard from several players who want to donate, but can't. With that in mind, I'd like to hear from players who would donate, but cannot because they don't have access to PayPal or a credit/debit card. It takes effort to implement this option, so I want to figure out if there is enough demand for it or not.
I'm exploring the potential of adding cell phone / SMS billing as an option to donate. Basically, it'd work like this: you'd choose your items, same as now. Then instead of choosing PayPal, you'd choose cell phone, enter your phone # via a third party billing site, and it'd send you a text message asking to confirm you want to charge $X to your phone bill. Once confirmed, your items would be waiting for you in your in-game mailbox.
Please answer these questions only if you have the money and the desire, but just don't have the ability to donate:
1) Do you have a cell phone? Yes/No
2) Would you donate right now or soon if SMS billing were an option? Yes/No
3) There are high fees associated with this kind of charge. Would you be willing to pay 25% more for each donation in order to use this payment option?
Thanks,
