Tathar, in August, PBT did a 99¢ billing to all EIInteractive-related accounts for a subscription to a new website that is being put together by New Gaming World (PME/EI, different day, different name). The subscription was for some type of monthly newsletter. As it was, the billing was automatic and went through multiple rounds (at least two I know of) to completely ping everyone (a ping in the old style computing was a check to see that the connection was still there. In terms of finances, it's a small charge done by a vendor to make sure the customer's accounts are active before handling major transactions. Usually, they're done upon opening, say, a large line of credit with a security backing like a savings account or checking account). None of us asked to be on this list. After complaints and fraud reports started tidal waving in from us, they refunded thos charges. You should check to see if you got any of these pings in your credit card or bank statement and by
ALL means, dispute them and demand a refund if you did and haven't received one yet. As was stated in the thread concerning them, I also notified my credit card company that EIInteractive no longer owned the rights to the game and that any billing done on their behalf since July 18 should be considered fraudulent and declined.
Errick, your trial account is currently comped until you set up a billing arrangement through
https://accounts.istaria.com to do the billing. I know they're talking until the 15th of this month, so it'd be a good idea to get your subscription set up, regardless of when you get your new computer.
