I finally got my EU code transferred to an NA code from Square Enix themselves.
To anyone who needs registration codes swapped and go down the SE route:
- Square Enix will (eventually) transfer codes from different regions, provided it is escalated.
I kinda gave up after I realised I got the wrong code and requested a refund (since I couldn't play Seekers without registering it) and submitted a ticket stating the registration code as the reason for the refund request. They escalated it and after a few emails it got sorted. I should warn you that it took me the better part of 1 month.
Thought I'd mention this since afaik only 1 other person has posted saying SE got them to swap the codes.
EDIT: ftr, I bought SoA through the SE store.
Confirming it can be done, I got them to exchange 2 NA codes for JP, though it did take
3 weeks. Be sure to contact support for the
region for your SE account. The region of the codes you got, and your POL account region is irrelevant. They will most certainly tell you you're contacting the wrong region support center, or if you contact them by web they'll tell you to call, or if you call they'll tell you to email (...) but if you're persistent, they'll get someone to get you the right codes
eventually.
btw anyone can suggest a secure way to trade reg code?
There is none. Furthermore, if for whatever reason the purchaser of the code you used were to chargeback that purchase, it's extremely likely that by using that code, your whole SE account will be terminated and you'll lose everything, permanently. I realize it's incredibly frustrating dealing with SE support but it's the only "secure" way, and probably a good reason why code trading isn't allowed on these forums.
