Clearly our weekly Chocobo Circuit teleportation wands are worth more than this.

Na, they moved the deadline for when they kick you off their game until you change your account over.

It was going to be Sept, but they finally listened to people.

I love how FFXI isn't even on the list of the named games on those cards. Yet games like Evony, and about 3 other games I've never even HEARD of are, yet SE is collaborating a promotion with them. :X

As for the 'sweepstakes' itself, there are far too few total winners to even be worth caring about. This is nothing but a shameless promotion, almost sounding like a desperate attempt at collaborative compensation for their blunder in shifting payment methods to advertise alternatives...

SE is just having a hard time lately. I'd really love to know what possessed them to have such a major payment method shift. It did nothing but hurt them quite a bit.

So is POL going to bill me at the end of this month/start of next month BAU? I really don't care to focus and learn this crap, therefore it's really confusing. And WTH is Playspan?

Playspan is a third party service that provides payment services for Crysta provided to your Square-Enix account which can be used for your FFXI service fees.

lol@envoy, I wonder if that fail is still around. Envoy was the one with the crappy ads that pretty much pushed itself similar to anarchy online when it started (Aka "look we put more pixels in boobs and put sexual innuendo in our advert on purpose buy our game!)


edit: And I would replace lately with for a while. Square been making all sorts of bad choices and been releasing subpar products last few years :\

As much as I never cared for it, where are the games like FF7, or better yet, the story lines of stuff like Tactics (Original) or FF6 with all the sidequests that actually expand characters?

I suspect the whole fiasco with the billing system has something to do with them being with their contract with their billing partners close to it's expiration time, combined with the fact that the yen value is rising versus the dollar. If it was just a matter of expiration, they would just extend it, but then with the yen being more expensive vs the dollar than what it used to be, they decided to modify the billing system.

Therefore they're trying to push the expenses of monetary exchange into us. It seems to be backfiring though .... :P

i been saying this the whole time, they been trying distance themself form the dollar, same reason they not letign people in countrys outside the US pay in US curency anymore either. The exchange rates flucurste so much anymore a loss can happen between time it taken out of accounts and it makes it to their accounts. Nintendo had a simular issue with Wii sales.
