I know that it will be $9.99 or something like that, but will the only payment option be every month or will we be able to pay for 4 months or 8 months, or a year at a time?
I guess my real question is will there be more than one type of payment option?

I believe it is planned to buy more than one month at a time for less money if you bought at one month at a time.
Going along these lines, are we going to have to give credit card # when we buy the game to get the 2 months free?
I know this probably will get looked over since it's not important in the long run, but if anyone (coughdevscoughcough) can tell, it would be appreciated.

For credit cards, we will be accepting Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. We'll be offering blocks of time at a discount. Like 3 months, 6 months, a year, etc.
We will also be offering support for other methods of payment via PayByCash http://www.paybycash.com . They accept just about any form of payment other than a herd of goats. If you want to trade a herd of goats for game time, you'll have to deal with us directly.
PayByCash will have an added service fee. This is mostly because of the potential liability incurred by taking 93458439 forms of payment (people faxing in and bouncing personal checks and the like). Plus they take things like PayPal and such which are notorious for non-payment scams. They also handle all support for those many methods of payment, so that comes out of the fee as well. For Vendetta Online the base monthly fee will be $9.99 per month with a major credit card, or $12.99 per month through PayByCash. There will also be larger blocks (3 month, 6 month, etc) available through PayByCash at a much-reduced service fee.
We will want to set up some sort of recurring payment method on all "paying" type accounts. So we won't charge your credit card, or whatever, for 60 days (assuming a preorder account).. but we will want to set up the payment method ahead of time, if at all possible. Defining which users are "paying" by tieing their accounts directly to a credit card number (or PayPal, bank transfer, herd of goats) has a way of reducing the number of abusive idiots in the game who don't really value their account because they have no intention or means of paying for it. I don't mean to exclude anyone by this, we'll try to make it as compatible with everyone as possible (which I don't think will be a problem, given the number of payment methods we'll be accepting, total).. but it is something we've learned from our long-standing Beta and earlier Test. People are more likely to behave if they value their account, because it has some tie to reality. It's also much easier to make bans actually work if we really know who people are, which is a requirement of being able to make a payment.

I might have to send you a goat as payment someday.
I'm not sure about the goats. However Ray did enjoy the llamas and alpacas we saw at the stste fair.
Hmm... Sara... I might be a might worried if I was you! Incarnate saying he wants goats and now Ray enjoying llamas... HMM

We should genetically engineer one of these: http://www.waylon-art.com/misc/bunchies/bunchies01.jpg and send it to them.
I'll get the spray paint, who wants to get the decapitated llama? :P
Incarnate, do you accept chickens along with goats? And if so, how many chickens a month?
the number of chickens per month fluctuates with the current.. umm.. poultry futures. yeah.
depens on the number of eggs they lay
I'll give you half a turkey for a month of Vendetta.
Unless we can buy a house with turkeys,chickens and llamas I'd going to have to insist that Ray gets paid in US currency. Now if we HAD a house in the country then we could discuss the barter system of payment for this wondeful game. :)
Ah, so NOW the lurid details come to light. It's a HOUSE that ye be wantin'.
ill give you my parrents house if you let me play vendetta for free, forever! my parrents dont need their house, and its in sunny california :)
