Why do you assume that credit cards /must/ be made out of plastic? They could be made out of wood, or copper. In fact, credit cards give a saner way to charge the player, because real loan sha^W^W banks do exactly the same thing. Charge a fixed amount each year/month, everytime you buy something, send a request for payment of an amount vaguely related to the amount owed. Every $STUPIDLY_SHORT_SPACE_OF_TIME increment by BIGNUM You could then have differing credit limits backed by the amount that you have in the bank (and, maybe, the level of the player). - These could also have differing costs. Maybe there could also be a few cards that offer gimmicks - like a free dragon flight after you spend above a certain limit. In case you couldn't gues, I don't like credit card companies very much. _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
