In matters of the game, I urged paitience, as I am paitient. In matters of my finaces, I am not willing to demostrate either paitience, nor understanding for proceedures that put them at risk.
I assume my trial did not roll over to the new system, whereas billing would commence.
The only option seems Paypal, and that isn't one I wish to use on a recurring basis.
On that note, verification is not necessary for personal CC usage, though your first purchase is severely limited until it actually pays. As I recalll, there is also a limit around $250 for usage afterwards until you do verify.
I have used paypal for other things since 2001, and have yet to verify. I also have never responded to the Pay-Pal, E-bay, or fake bank phising schemes, and it that time never had any issues with my card or security.
I only wish my Bank was so careful.
I will sit back and watch for now.
