Posts from Open alpha testing of the 5.0 HD mod (online lobby).

there are many exchange services available, and often they are automated.

here you can see different platforms and their exchange rates.

I'll try to add WebMoney. But to figure out their API, write, and debug the automated activation process for payments via WebMoney, I'll probably need to spend a month. I'd rather spend that month on developing the game itself.
Also, my "store" needs to pass WebMoney's moderation process so they allow me to accept payments automatically, and I'm a bit hesitant about that...

In principle, I can manually accept payments and activate subscriptions, but you probably wouldn't like waiting up to 24 hours for activation after payment.
I also don't have much time to monitor incoming payments, match the payer with the lobby nickname, and activate manually.

I'll figure out how to do it better, write instructions, and start. Moreover, I will most likely accept annual subscriptions manually.

But for now, only credit card, PayPal, and Yandex.Money.
Currently, activation happens automatically and instantly through these options.

Added 6 minutes later

And the vigilant bank decided not to transfer the payment from the card, just in case it's fraud, only upon a phone call.

If your card allows online purchases, there shouldn't be any problems.
Damn, Chinese users pay via PayPal using Chinese UnionPay cards; there shouldn't be any problems with Visa and Mastercard at all.
Yandex.Money also accepts Maestro and Mir.

I successfully paid from Ukraine using a Ukrainian hryvnia card.

What if we integrate a payment aggregator like Robokassa, which allows accepting payments through various methods and then transferring the funds to a specific account? Of course, there would be a commission, but it would increase the number of potential buyers by including those who cannot pay using the methods already available on the site (for example, some aggregators accept payments through terminals, Euroset, and Svyaznoy, which are available in almost all cities in Russia and do not require any identification). When paying through the aggregator, we could also slightly increase the amount, as we do now when paying through PayPal – so that users who have the option of direct payment methods would pay directly, and only use the aggregator if they cannot pay directly.

Added the ability to donate via WebMoney (donations are also available from MTS/Beeline mobile accounts and in Bitcoin).

Tomorrow, there will be a minor update. Players with the "Papa" status will be highlighted in green in the chat and player list.

There will be a small update tomorrow. Players who are fathers will be highlighted in green in the chat and player list.

Can I have a pink nickname? :rolleyes:

Baratorch will become pink. Otherwise, he's the only one who's green among them all, and he needs to stand out.

Hehe, icons, badges... the color of your nickname!! Look at how many options there are for extra money :)

It’s for convenience.
So it’s easier to find an opponent, especially for those who aren’t part of the HW community.

It's for convenience.

Everything should be sold. Any unique personal identity. All sorts of Dotas live off this – skins and other perks.
For example, you could attach a Reddit shovel to your nickname. The design has already been adapted. And removing it would only be possible for extra money. :smile26:

Is it possible to make an advance payment or purchase an annual subscription?
I probably won't use the lobby myself.
But I think supporting it is essential.
It would be much more convenient for me to pay a lump sum for a year than to remember to pay every month.

:smile02:
I support this question. It would be more convenient if it were possible to pay for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.
And, on the verge of fantasy, the ability to gift subscriptions to other users (for example, I currently have such a need).

And it would be almost like science fiction – the ability to gift subscriptions to other users (for example, I currently have such a need).

The last option is available – simply send a link to the subscription to the recipient, and they can pay for it.

I wonder how many Papashkas there are at the moment? a) 1-4 b) 5-9 c) 10-19 d) 20-49 e) 50-99 f) 100-249 g) 250-499 h) 500-999 i) 1000+ :smile19:

I wonder how many Daddies there are at the moment?

a) 1-4
b) 5-9
c) 10-19
d) 20-49
e) 50-99
f) 100-249
g) 250-499
h) 500-999
i) 1000+

:smile19:

The thing is, daddies only exist in SoD; actually, if such payments were introduced in HotA, I think there would be no fewer daddies there, and most likely even more.

I personally paid for the "papashka" just to support Baratorch's work, as I play SoD extremely rarely and essentially don't need a SoD lobby.
