Thoughts: Karma Koin

"Experience the enlightened way to get NX! Beginning in September, Karma Koin cards will begin replacing Nexon Game Cards on store shelves. These prepaid cards work the same way as Nexon Game Cards, and will be available at retailers in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Choose from prepaid amounts of $10, $25, and $50.

Simply purchase the card where you would normally buy your Nexon Game Cards, and redeem for NX through the usual methods. For every card redeemed, Karma Koin will donate a percentage of that amount to charity.

Nexon will continue to accept Nexon Game Cards, although retailers will begin phasing them out during the transition period."

quote Nexon USA

Karma Koin cards offer more flexibility for our customers.

I don't see a difference between NX Cards and these..

I guess they thought "Nexon Game Card" was too wordy and boring so they switch it to a smaller and crappy name to replace it. It's nice that they added the charity aspect.

What I don't like is that they didn't go in to much detail..
How much percent.. What charity.. Seeing as that is the ONLY difference between this and NX, I would at least like to know what it does. But, whatever. It still doesn't make any difference to people, I'm sure.

Seems to be a new thing, or at least not widespread to this point, google didn't give out any more information on what KK is.

Pffttt...

Who buys NX, anyways?

I used to buy Nx a lot a few years back, since leveling was so painful. I bought lots of 2x tickets and used MTS a lot.

These days, I only buy Nx occasionally (when I run out of mesos and need to buy a WG to sell).

There's been a case where someone spent like half a million US for NX...

Though my friends do use USD 200 or so for NX. Me, I have no credit card..
