Apologies for the delay, but I'm happy to announce we are now able to accept online payment for game admission. You'll find the button at the bottom of the . Just select either half-price, half-skill point or full-price, full-skill point admission from the drop-down menu, click the Buy Now button, and it will take you to a Google Checkout page to complete the order.
I would describe this as a first shaky step in the direction of online transactions for us, which means I'll need plenty of feedback from anyone who uses it. Was it a straightforward process? Where were the stumbling blocks?
If all goes well, I plan to create similar functionality for all future events, as well as and even boon. Imagine a Buy Now button on items in the Treasure Trove and you'll see where I'm going with this.
At any rate, I need lots and lots of feedback on this one. We're taking a hit to profitability to offer the convenience, so knowing whether or not you guys like it is essential.
Well, it's official. Orn has just received its first online transaction, and it seems to have gone through without a hitch. Everyone can now look forward to such buttons on all future events, as well as elsewhere on the site like the Boon Store. Special thanks to Amy and Jonathan for being the first brave souls to give it a try.
