Wish I could move Zen from STO to CO

[Alexandra Lorular]

I have a lot of Free zen in STO (Lifetimer there) that I'm not using, want to buy some Archtypes for CO, but no current money,wish I could trade some over.

I wish I could have some go in the other direction. Too bad they lock it down per game like that though.

[Alexandra Lorular]

I wonder if you can set up a private dilitum trade

[Szynszyl]

Stormstriker, i lookoing for that same information and i find, that you cant

[Stormstriker]

Actually Alexandra might be on to something but I can see it can be exploited by a thief. Only way to do that is how you transfer dilithium/questionite between characters of your own. You set it at the minimum price NOBODY would do it at then the other completes the transaction. But the exploit by a thief would be to do it in one game but then not honor the same in the other. Too risky.

Free Zen is a stipend which is 'earned' for that said game, they don't allow transfers between games, to counter farming.

Once you purchase zen it's bound to your account, character base isn't hooked up into the "Core Connection" system for STO,NWO, or CO yet like all other PW games. Once Zen is attached to a game it is fixed there permanently.

The lesson here is don't move Zen out of your account wallet to a game unless you REALLY want it to be there.

[Alexandra Lorular]

If the Zen was wallet bound that would be one thing
but it is from a lifetime membership

[Alexandra Lorular]

Probably, but that doesn't make sense, at least to the consumer, who has paid money anyway, so they'd be out that 500 points a month anyway. Where I spend it shouldn't matter to them, because either way I'd spend the same amount of points.

[Alexandra Lorular]

Oh I don't doubt it, however, I think this coporate focused culture isn't neccisarily the best thing in the world, long term, but that's neither here nor there.

I realize this thread is old, but you might still be having the same issue. There is a very old (12 years) website called http://d2jsp.org/ that was created way back when for the purpose of trading Diablo 2 items. Then, it got big enough that it was used to trade items between other games, such as Diablo 2 items for Everquest items using a mediator. Then one day they developed their own currency called "Forum Gold", whereas you can sell stuff from the game you play for Forum Gold, and then turn right around and use that Forum Gold to buy stuff from another game you play.

So if that was clear as mud, you could look into that site to turn one game's currency into another. Good luck.

They do not allow this as 1: You paid for a LTS on that particular game and that's an exclusive bonus
2: It would cause inflation of the game-to-zen markets which would be BAD.

well i got a pwe card to charge zen, has 4 games that 1 must be chosen on the ARC site and CO is not one of them so i just blew $25 coz i dont play and refuse to play any of the 4 so in my furious mood just chose Raiderz and closed the window! i wanted to go gold but nobody sells CO time cards here in victoria, australia and have not for a few years...so i am extremely pissed off!

[Alexandra Lorular]

I think you need a certain lvl in CO before charging there.

[omegasyndrome]

stuff thst i will just use a creditcard subscription, wot a stupid requirement to get gametime, and that is why i stick with steam and no other program like ARC

[Flyingbox]

CO can use steam wallet. Just install and play via that.
I was able to use a zen card on CO several months ago. If you cannot charge zen to your game then you need to contact PWI billing support and they will get it done for you.

hi, i saw your post. i would be willing to trade with you.
