It's a one time use code though and good all month. Up to you if saving the extra fifty cents is worth it. I'm waiting to see what hits the Christmas sales.

Well I've been trying for over an hour(across two days) to checkout and can't get it to work. I'm getting this error every single time:

"Your Payment Provider has not authorised your purchase. This may be because some banks (incorrectly) believe that Green Man Gaming is a gambling website. Please contact your bank to discuss your order. We are working with these banks to resolve this issue."

First of all, the UK spelling of authorized gives my post red squiggles, and it's annoying. :P More importantly I've tried everything I can think of, including using Paypal funds directly(so it's not any bank issue), and it's still failing on the final purchase screen.

I've purchased through them no less than 2 times before, with these same accounts and settings... Once that was only about 2 months back... so what's wrong?

is this the lowest we've seen Guild Wars?

Exact same here, I've also purchased in the past from them. I recall reading somewhere that this has happened to others at various times as well. Ohh well, I didn't really *need* anymore games as I have a backlog of several hundred...

They didn't misspell 'authorised' that's the English spelling -- and a perfectly legitimate one.

I'd take GMG's statement at face value. (gasp)

As always, complain to your bank. I've worked on semi-major sites that require payment backends and there's no end to the nonsense that can happen even with perfectly valid details. Random blocks are fairly common. As for the banks, their code is even worse frequently relying on a random mashup of half a dozen languages coded years apart.

Hell, my bank decided to flag a linode payment that I've been making for two years non-stop as fraud while letting a 1.2k laptop order from a company I've never done business with before pass without batting an eye. It's a mess.

Exactly. Authorised is no more of a misspelling than colour, mum, centre, dialogue, or programme.

I'm trying to use funds from my paypal account, with no luck. There's no other bank involved here, and paypal has worked fine in the past, and is probably working fine for others.

You should file a support ticket with GMG, they are the only ones that can give you the answers you are looking for.

Hmm, Dead Island + all the DLC is finally at the $5 threshold I set so I'll probably grab it.

Paypal does the same thing, it's a bank in everything but regulation.

Any idea on how long the chivalry deal will last or at least when it should kick over to being regularly priced again?

7 EST Tuesday morning; will be on sale again Thursday theoretically.

Man, just look at all those misspelled words! How are you even allowed to post on the internet!

My favorite, though, is theatre. *sigh* I still feel compelled to apologize to my junior high teacher whenever I see her for what happened during that fateful spelling bee back in the day. None of my actions were justified: yelling/throwing things/setting the school on fire, etc.

I was always partial to arse myself.

Decent short guide to British slang.

Arse - This is a word that doesn't seem to exist in America. It basically means the same as ass, but is much ruder. It is used in phrases like "pain in the arse" (a nuisance) or I "can't be arsed" (I can't be bothered) or you might hear something was "a half arsed attempt" meaning that it was not done properly.
