I've seen the question asked a lot, I've not seen a helpful answer on the matter though. I started playing a couple of weeks ago, made a couple of purchases in USD. Now the game has switched, on its own, to GBP and seems to think the exchange rate is 1:1. Needless to say I'm not inclined to being ripped off like that.

So, does a way exist to get around Plarium's hatred for non-Americans?
