Overview

Game Time Cards allowed players to play any NCsoft subscription-based game without needing to use a credit card. Although cards were originally branded for specific games (including City of Heroes, City of Villains, Lineage II, and Auto Assault), they would work for any current game that required a subscription. Over time, these games also included Lineage, Dungeon Runners, Tabula Rasa, and Aion.

Game time cards were originally only available in 60-day values. NCsoft later merged all individual cards into one generic card that came in 15-, 30-, and 60-day values. These were repackaged several times as games were introduced or cancelled. By early 2012, game time cards were no longer necessary because all NCsoft games were free-to-play. Existing cards can still be converted to NCoin for use in Lineage II and Aion.

Game time cards are NOT the same as Game Cards.
