This is kind of meh. Can't they donate to charity from their NX cards too?
I usually avoid buying cards so that my parents won't rant about me spending money on "some kids game", so eh.

the charity bit is just a ploy to get a larger income
For every card redeemed, Karma Koin will donate a percentage of that amount to charity.
notice they say percentage and don't name the actual amount... now why would they do that? hmmmm lets think about that for a second... because subjective words that mean different things to dif people will make the general public think their donating something like 5-20%....
so as far as you know their donating .25%. so for every 100$ they donate 25 cents... amazing god nexon y so generous.....:smoke2:

I hope they don't make the CAD prices retarded. CAD is worth more than USD as it is, we don't need to pay a goddamn 20%+ more.

Karma Koin sounds like one of those cheap currencies from those really uninteresting browser-based games.

Uggggh. Purchasing nx is already tough enough. I work as a pharmacy intern at CVS. Everytime I buy nx, the front store people look at me weird and I have to say it's for my little brother QQ

That's great. May as well openly buy a WoW prepaid card and not feel as nerdy about it if they're going to call NX cards that.

The smaller vendors here make you pay tax, but the bigger stores like shopper's drug mart etc don't :\
It's so irritating, even when USD was worth more, it wasn't worth THAT much more. They should just fix the nx prices now.. cause the US economy ain't getting better.

WoW always has that casual mood about it

That's why I feel more comfortable buying NX at a GameStop. It's a gamer-place,so it's the norm.

Purchasing NX is pretty normal over here, and not to mention any game cards...Although, things like even Ntreev Game cards look really girly with their design, so it feels really weird when you get starred at...Ahem my brother.
It's good that the NX card designs don't give people in the line up at the cashier ideas or whatsoever, so there's no flipping your card to hide it, or the cashier feeling guilt for you and flipping the card upside down for you as you purchase it.
The name sounds funny either way...How is it not possible to donate to charity with normal NX cards? What's this flexibility they speak of?
The design on the cards look like some of a dancing game, why did they have to remove Audition already...

Well, I certainly hope they take this opportunity to change the prices. I mean, it's not like they can do that while there're still $30 cards around. Maybe there'll be a few other changes besides the atrocious name and charity.

Keep in mind that most charities are corrupt too
only about 10% of all donations actually go towards anything. Rest of it lines people's pockets.

I wish there were 5k nx cards so that I could buy 5k nx for that extra 1k nx needed for another prem card instead of another 10k, haha...
