We previously announced plans to change customer PlayOnline (POL) accounts to Square Enix accounts starting at the end of July.
Along with that change, there will also be a change in payment options for selected customers.

After the switch to Square Enix accounts, it will no longer be possible to pay the monthly fees for EU accounts in US dollars (USD).
Customers with an EU account who are currently paying their monthly fees in USD will have to switch to either Euro (EUR) or Pounds Sterling (GBP) from August 2011 onwards.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
