Ultimate Game Cards are in the process of being pulled from all retail stores and removed from online resellers. Consumers will no longer be able to buy Ultimate Game Cards after August 15th, 2014.

    The last day to redeem your activated UGC codes will be September 30, 2014. So please remember to redeem your UGC codes before that date.

    Related to the UGC product retirement, UltimatePoints (UPoints) will also be shut down. The last day to redeem your UPoints will be October 31, 2014.

    Please note that some games might stop accepting Ultimate Game Cards and UPoints before the retirement dates so be sure to redeem your cards and points sooner rather than later!

    looks like a hunt for a prepaid visa or mastercard to buy crysta now ~sad face~
    and no 60 day time cards are not an option for me, they only allow payment for FFXIV and I'm legacy on top of that, not to mention I play back and forth between FFXIV and FFXI

    Do the 60 day cards add ~30 dollars worth of Crysta or is it straight game time? It would kinda suck if it's the latter since legacy players would be over-paying.

    they add 60 days of game time. even if you're legacy

    maybe SE will start supporting Karma Koin or some other universal game cards.

    because the plan for Ultimate Pay is to support the game currency of the games they supported. I honestly can't see this as a viable solution for us unless they plan to release SE Crysta Cards or something like that

    additional info added to OP

    I would like to hear from the community reps what the plan is for this. those 60 day time cards are not a viable option to those of us that
    are
    A. Legacy
    B. Play FFXI as well
    C. Both

    and for many of us the UGC was the only option available to play the game.

    supporting Karma Koin or some other universal game cards. would be the best solution or actually having Ultimate Pay do Crysta Cards for you would work as long as we could find them

    UGC is UltimatePay's codes for Ultimate Points. after October 31'st we wont have Ultimate Points to work with. we can still use Ultimate Pay for paypal/Visa/Mastercard purchases. but what about those of us who don't trust paypal and dont have access to a credit/debit card?

    NVM, misinterpreted. Doesn't seem like they're still going to be doing anything after this shutdown.

    That said, SE should really just make the game cards be enough crysta for two normal months of a subscription and be done with it.
