If they can't ping 198.105.196.90 or ping 198.105.196.13 in the first place, then they probably shouldn't waste any time trying to buy an unusable game-card. Even if they can ping, it doesn't mean the game will work.

Well its unlikely someone would be asking the question if they werent already playing the game on basic. People are already playing over seas, this point has already been made. The question is merely about payment, upgrading to unlimited.

umm LOL -- my Post had nothing to do with the game or any possible ip blocking disney may have in place


Zepper asked if Visa Gift cards are available outside the usa

which is where my post says what it says about them having to be atleast usable outside the USA because people get them as gifts and such etc.

hrm let me re-word it for easier understanding!

People across sea's im sure receive Visa Gift cards all the time - therefore like the commercial says Visa - its everywhere you wanna be! - i am fairly sure they are usable outside the USA!

and if they are they theoretically could be used to pay online for unlimited account access

Now I do know however that Online Credit Card Processors check the IP addresses of the purchaser (and some Processors -- NOT the Company your buying from - will Block other countries via IP )

so even if disney allows the player on basic access who lives wherever - their credit card processor might not let them pay via ANY type of credit card due to their location

just another tid-bit of info there

What about PayPal? Can that be used?

SangrelX 09-25-2008 01:41 PM

Rackat - I dont think Disney accepts paypal - I dont remember if it was an option during check out or not

MELdeluxe 09-25-2008 03:13 PM

Disney accepts paypal - but only with credit card...

Good point, but since thats never been the issue before I dont think anyone needs to go there. Visa cards are useable globally for sure, I dont think this is going to be a problem. Also keep in mind we have other members here that have stated they pay via credit card (that live outside the US). The best part about this option "IF" your right? The visa card can still be used at stores more than likely, not like potco game card that suddenly became a souvenir.

it might have never been an issue yet with the processor disney uses - if so thats awesome - perhaps the visa gift cards will work then for those outta states (but some processors definetly block certain countries - I used to encrypt cards for our processor and they blocked places like Argentina, Brazil, etc.)

I strongly believe that Visa or even Mastercard Gift cards will work - See if you can order a Visa Giftcard or Mastercard Giftcard from the web and have it delievered to your country - I mean heck order a 9.95 card and see if it works - worse comes to worse your out only 9.95
