I guess for EU players it wont be worth it, cos I got the image that Pro7 stuff will have their own currency thingie, and I dont blindly trust that your station cash would convert to it.

Hrm, just went to my SOE account and go to try to add cash and it's still $1 USD = 100 cash, am I missing something? Pretty sure that's the normal rate.
Edit: Just actually read that post, apparently it starts today at noon PDT. If my math doesn't suck it's only 10:46 PDT (at the time of this edit) I'll check again tonight. I'm ready to buy $100 worth assuming it applies to PS2, which I don't see why it wouldn't.

basti? would you twitter a dev of your choice to check if we can get an answer about station cash and pro7?
would really like to know because since swg is down and ps1 will die with the launch of ps2 i don´t play any other soe games.
but if it´s guaranteed that we can use stationcash on ps2 from europe, i would consider stocking up.

From twitter @mhigby
@Zenben88 Station Cash is across all games, so if you get 1000 in EQ you will have 1000 in PS2!

Dont count for it. Pro7 wants to to have their own account, their own shop, so there wont be any use for station cash (unless part of the deal is transfering station cash to pro7 gold or what they have)
But if they made it region free, you can buy SC now and play on US servers from europe

Even if they did know how it would work with the Pro7 deal, I doubt they'd be able to talk about it within the next 24 hours.

but if they answer fast enough they would add a lot of europe cash to this sale

This is really frustrating, because SOE continies to sit on their hands about the localization issues. I especially feel sorry for our euroteams as well as those who rely on them.
Gosh I already have 30,000... do I need more?

30000 is thirty bucks under the normal cost, if you pay the $15/month and compare like that you've got two month's subscription.
I looked into it and have been watching since they announced the Station Cash connection, they usually have sales around major U.S. holidays. Last event they had was 3x multiplier on Feb 29, then before that at Christmas.
I didn't go in for what I'm thinking would be a year amount but did get a bit of a stockpile :) I'll wait for a 3x event to really go wild. I plan on budgeting my station cash as though I am still paying a subscription, depending on what the final say as to SOE cash is.

30000 is $300 normally. Right now, it would be $150
I'll grab another 10,000 to be safe. I hope to buy everything on day 1 and have plenty leftover to grab things as they come out without needing to waste time buying more cash!
Thanks for the heads up topic maker person

I'm really excited that they have deals like this! Man, once they have the next "3x Deal," I'll start throwing down a few Benjamins. That should set me up with a FORTRESS of Station Cash.
Thanks for putting this on my radar!

I just wish I could "safely" buy these as an european player.
Dont quite feel like pouring 100€ into this just to have nothing when it goes Pro7 :D
That said, luckily my financial situation wouldnt like that anyways.
I bought 10000, thanks for the heads up :)

Pay with credit card and dispute the charges when/if they do that.

Yes :) It was mentioned at GDC.
Dropped my monthly "allowance" into station points.

Might as well spend the last twenty bucks on my PayPal. At least I'm officially set for PS2 now, no matter how much my inner-adult didn't want to spend money (especially before release).
EDIT: I just read the thread and learned they have x3 events. I feel foolish now.

Yeah.. but for us Euros they arn't SOE games much longer lol :D
it has been stated that Pro7 will use different currency. While it could make sense that station cash gets converted to similar amount of Pro7dollahs (made that up), I'm not gonna take the risk until confirmed.

Makes sense. Forgot about the Euro community. Unforgivable. :domotwak:
