    I've tested this myself and it works with FFXI. There are 3 steps to this.

    1) Get the card from one of the newsagents suppying them. (It a trial at the moment in Dublin only)

    Allsorts - Ilac Centre Unit 46 Ilac S/C Dublin 1
    Centra - Dame St 56 Dame Street Dublin 2
    Centra - Merrion Row No 5 Merrion Row Dublin 2
    Centra - St Stephens Green 12 St Stephen's Green Dublin 2
    Centra - Sandyford Unit 1& 2, The Atrium Dublin 18
    Mace - Wexford Street 18 Wexford Street Dublin 2
    Spar -Cumberland Street Cumberland Street Dublin 1
    Spar - Leopardstown 4 Leopardstown Gardens Blackrock Co. Dublin
    Spar -Talbot St 70-72 Talbot Street (near Connelly Station) Dublin 1
    Spar -Trinity Plaza Tara Street Dublin 2

    2) Register the card either over the phone or on the net here

    3) Buy the credit for the card like a phone topup. Get the PIN and Expiry date by text or phone and register them as credit card details when setting up Playonline.

    This should let you play the game. It seems to work for me. Hope this help those unlucky few who dont have the blessing of a real credit card. :)

    Wished more countries used the same thing - like numerous MMO services accept "Splash plastic card" in England which is basically the same thing.

    Damn nice idea I'd say, just not used widely unfortunately.
