Complaining about ordering versus just paying the monthly fee is missing the point of part of the purpose of these cards. We have a friend who, because of financial constraints, can't currently afford to foot the bill for City of Heroes, which he used to play. A few of us who do play are looking to purchase at least 6 months of game time for him for the holidays, and this is a great way to help him participate in a hobby he loves.

The cards work and a great way to continue to play a fun game without providing a credit card number to another online vendor.

I should point out for those who have never played that City of Heroes is a fun and entertaining way to spend countless hours. However, like with most online MMORPGs there is always the issue of becoming to dependant on the game. Unlike other games (WoW) there are endless methods of personalizing your character (in this case called toons). The game is kid friendly and most the people I have met on the game seem to be genuinely polite.

If you are looking for a summary of the good and bad points please look below.

GOOD
1. The card allows people to purchase additional time as gifts and then hand the recipient something a little fancier than a printed out piece of paper.
2. The time cards are more secure than storing a credit card on file for months or years on end.
3. The time cards work just as well as a credit card and the time is credited instantaneously.
4. The game is entertaining and fun.

BAD
1. The cards do take two or three days to arrive, whereas a credit card on the City of Heroes website allows for time to added instantly. (Very bad if you are already out of time)
2. The cards are basically the size of a credit card but the arrive in a package the size of DVD container. Very eco-unfriendly!
3. There isn't any real savings (unless there is a sale) for purchasing the cards.
4. You are instructed to keep the card(s) in case you have future technical issues. This doesn't seem feasible if you receive five or six at a time (say for a birthday or Christmas present).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great option, but the packaging is ridiculous, November 28, 2011

Well, City of Heroes has sucked me in far enough for me to go VIP for at least a few months. I had trouble getting a credit card payment to go through their subscription service and ended up looking here. The sticker price on a 60-day subscription is $29.98, so if you're an Amazon Prime member like me, this is a really nice deal with free shipping. I just have to remember to order the card in advance of my subscription running out, which I don't imagine should be a problem. As noted previously, though, the whole plastic case packaging is ridiculous. This should really just be folded up inside a piece of cardboard; they can make it DVD-sized if they really want to. At least the case is labeled as #5 plastic so I can recycle it through the Preserve recycling program, but it's still quite wasteful.
