ok, I'll try a check.

Keep us (poor backward) europeans updated if an "unusual" banking fee appears....

My bank has told me they would let me deposit bank checks from overseas banks at the going currency exchange rate, no fee. They just sit on the money for a couple weeks while they wait for it to clear is all. But that's no problem.

This sounds surprisingly easy. Based in Britain, and not a Paypal user, I've also been feeling guilty about not being able to support PBW. I'll try a cheque, and you can let me know what happens.

I'm not a capitalist but why not a pricing system? I think you may charge a MINIMUM price for game to hold the whole thing. I repeat, MINIMUM. The question is hold on with PBW and NOT to enrich geoschmo .

Are you sure PBW would sink if a payment system is used? I think it's more a question what would that money be for.

Just a capitalist opinion.

When I tried to propose the idea of selling the UM2, people were dead set against me and condemned me and more.

Despite the fact the cash would go to fund SE.org's expansion and development and keep it running.

Hadrian, this is different; not only are they *not* requiring payment, not only are they defering contiuing operating costs instead of payment for work invested, UM2 is a *mod*, and PBW isn't. PBW doesn't have the specter of taking advantage of someone else's work that *any* mod sold will have.

IMHO Yes it would. (This opinion based on extremely little knowledge about these things ) Well perhaps not sink but I'm sure it would lose players and that can't be good. Hopefully they can get enough money to avoid having to put adds in. (My cheque is the mail )
