Exchange rate Started by: Mr_White on Apr 30, '12 17:50

Ok I'm sure I'm not the only who would have problems trying to work out the exchange rate from US Dollars to UK Pounds when buying credits. As since it only shows up in US Dollars at the moment when you go to buy them. But I was wondering if it would be possible to show how many credits you would receive for buy them in UK Pounds if you live here in the UK. I know this is an American game but it would help out a lot for those of us who live in UK. I don't reckon it would be hard to add it in but then again I'm not a coder so I wouldn't really know. And Since the exchange rate does change nearly on a daily basis this might pose a problem but I'm sure there could be a way to get it to change automatically or even set it to an average exchange rate. Since it doesn't usually change by much.

So if anyone has any thoughts on this could you please post your opinions weather they be pro's or con's to this idea.

I'll poke around and see if we can get an API to tap into paypal/amazon's exchange rates.

Theres a bunch of feeds that we can use, but they show the spot rate, however currency exchange is actually done at the bid versus ask price, plus then paypal adds on an additional 2.5% to cover any losses on their part - Basically, it means that unless they offer a specific service for this, we can only "guestimate".

It's abotu £16.25 to $25 US dollars based on a donation I made to another site earlier tonight via paypal :) If that helps

Squishy is correct though, the price would fluctuate and it would only ever be a close guess. If this was put in place, people would need to understand that as no doubt we'd end up with people complaining about a very slight difference in what they expected to receive.

We UK folk already get the better deal imo, as we receive more bang for our buck, so to speak.

tbh i just google it, and take it at face value, its never far wrong.
