Duelpasses were very important, not only to duel but also to collect cards.
This was the main way to earn cards other than from trading with people online, where it would be known as a free for all for scammers within the game. Luckily the markets of East London were the perfect place for them.Ī single Duelpass would give you 30 DP which was enough for 30 duels, a promotional in-game card and 10 Mileage Points (MP) which could be used to buy special cards in in-game shops.Īt the end of every duel in Yu-Gi-Oh! Online, whether you won or lost, you would be offered a card out of a pack to choose from.
These were sold at independent gaming-related shops and were actually quite hard to find. Back around 2006 at the age of 11, every weekend I would be dragged to go shopping with my mom in exchange for one Duelpass, which cost £2.50 and on occasion older Duelpasses were £1.50.
