whooptie doo.

once. a fucking. week.

[Shenrien]

this payment bullshit.. augh, Click&Buy charges a 3.9% rate for money brought over, I really really don't think I need to pay 16$ x2 every 30 days for this shit.. :/ anyone who bought crysta is there a paypal feature for that I can use? I'll just stick 300$ on there and call it a day.

edit-

nevermind UltimatePay = Paypal, Huzzah <3

Nice little warp item can exit to any of the cities except Aht Urghan.

[Gokulo]

Btw. about the want:

The bonus item will be distributed in a version update scheduled for September or later.

* Further information to be provided as it becomes available.
* Schedule and other details subject to change.

Is it already possible to transfer? I tried to and it says my services haven't been billed yet and to try next month. :/

[Shenrien]

1 of my accounts on the SE-ID I have is apparently in the process of transfer, we'll see what happens

[Nattack]

every time i enter my password for you, square, it becomes less and less secure :I given ive already removed a couple "pol.exe" keyloggers. rs search porn is apparently risky business.

anyways, does this remove playonline? what are the benefits to this other than the alleged security bonus, i havent been around.

[Gokulo]

I was able to transfer my acc no problem already.

@Nattack > Still have to use POL to play, but not to pay for the account. Additionally now we pay for 30 days of playtime and not until the current month ends (fuck yeah!)

[Nattack]

hmm, that sounds okay. its a good thing i decided to check on ffxi news today. I'll go ahead.

[Gokulo]

Anyone knows how long does it usually take for the Crysta to appear in your account? I've paid for it, took the money from me but my balance is still 0.

[Xeynaar]

Ok, one of my POL accounts was able to transfer and is in progress. Still don't know why/how the other 2 aren't able yet. :/

[The Stig]

By the looks of the help page, it seems everything will be managed via the SE Account now, subscription wise?

I guess that beats going through POL's slow interace (the Services and Support one) and I can manage payments neatly via crysta/worldpay instead of it autorolling.

[Damane]

Ok, one of my POL accounts was able to transfer and is in progress. Still don't know why/how the other 2 aren't able yet. :/

it is only possible to transfer 1 account at a time, you have to wait until your 1. account is transfered until you can transfer another

[Shenrien]

All set up :D bring it on SE!

[Xeynaar]

I tried to transfer the other 2 before this one and it said the billing for those weren't finished yet. The 3rd one finished transfering in about 10 minutes.

[Sithel]

I just transferred 1 account, no issues.
Looks like you can choose to pay with Crysta by using an Ultimate Game Card or by using Paypal. This by far seems the easiest to do without setting up that Click&Buy stuff, which I've heard far to many complaints. Using Crysta all you would have to do is buy $100 in Crysta, buy the Crysta with Paypal and you wouldn't have to touch it again for at least 7 months with a basic $13 account.

[MaachaQ]

Blah, this is gonna suck >.> I tried to set up a Click and Buy account back when they were taking Tsunami donations, but it locked up and told me to call them (and their business hours are in the middle of the night for me). I guess Paypal is my best option, if I can figure out how to set it up, it's been years since I used my Paypal account. Not sure I can register a foreign card to my paypal account though... such a hassle >.> I have 3 accounts all with 8 charas each, so I'd need to buy quite alot of Crysta too...

[Chrian]

so crysta is you have to buy now huh?

[Draylo]

so crysta is you have to buy now huh?

No, I pay thru CC still.
