It says I am now reactivated... new PoL mail... No Content ID error for FFXI.

confirmed... I went through and updated my payment info to the same cc and was able to go through everything. During the login process I did noticed that it says my content ID's were not linked to my handle and asked if I wanted to link them. Not sure if that might be a common thing that we are experienced that might have contributed to us having that problem.

So the question now is ... are they going to bother trying to fix this today or are they just going to tell us information that we already know that doesn't help us at all?

It's annoying that can't get on, more annoying that they're just taunting us by telling us something we know.

A few of my friends have been able to get on, but they already had access to the POL main screen, while the rest that are locked out are not able to access the main menu of POL

I was prompted to reactivate my Content ID automatically after a fresh log on PoL which "fixed" my initial 5024 for "reactivate ID". This can block updating CC info. This lead to the 1104 error for me asking for an account payment update which, upon completion, fixed the 1104 error, allowing me to "reactivate ID" with no 5024 previously. PoL mail sent confirming reactivation.

My CC carrier can confirm I was billed $1 (at this time) for account "update" authorization / validation / verification confirmation.

Am I to disregard the listed reactivation charges in the sent PoL mail "Subject: Reactivation of a Content ID Completed" which lists full charges for April for "reactivate ID" service ?

I hope we are not double billed in May. I'm going to bed yay it's light out!

It's not useful. Its the same info that has been out for hours. When people hit reactivate it immediately goes to an error code and you CANNOT in any way proceed, so the rest of the steps are totally invalid.

I believe this also. There was a confirmation e-mail sent "Subject: Reactivation of a Content ID Completed" in PoL Mail system listing charges for April but the billing itself seems delayed in this regard. I'm not too concerned if in fact double billing does occur for May. I do trust SE would make amends in that event.

SE states there are no subscription fees for April. While this may be true, FYI, I can confirm I was billed $1 to my CC for verification of "changes" to payment information.

Since the issue is not resolved and we can't post on their status page, here are some step-by-step pictures of what's we're seeing. This shows what the problem we're running into looks like for us.

Following the steps provided to us:

STEP 1


[Resubscribing to PlayOnline]
Logging into PlayOnline with a cancelled PlayOnline ID will bring up the PlayOnline ID reactivation screen.
Follow the instructions presented at this screen.

We try to log on as normal, but are met with the message to reactivate:

Click for image (http://www.bluegartr.com/bucket/gallery/viewimage/19128)

We click reactivate, and this screen appears:

Click for image (http://www.bluegartr.com/bucket/gallery/viewimage/19129)

We enter the account info (not shown for obvious reasons), and get this message:

Click for image (http://www.bluegartr.com/bucket/gallery/viewimage/19130)

STEP 1 says to follow the instructions on the screen, but those instructions are simply to close the application.

Hopefully the support team sees this post and can get something out of it.

@Khiinroye do you have a security token?

idk if this means anything regarding log in to the registration server and validation server side? (different servers for log in validations for accounts minus security tokens verses accounts with security tokens)

I never encountered the 5024 error after the first PoL log in after reactivation auto-prompt option. After entering my PoL ID and password, I was prompted to enter the Square Enix ID, SE password and one-time-password.

Successfully, I can't explain...

No, I can confirm the presence of a security token makes no difference. Still getting error even though have token. I would caution against making generalizations with such a small sample size. Thank you Khiinroye for taking the time to post screenshots of the errors some are still getting. Hope it helps.

This may be related to the UCS-5024 error that is still not resolved.

Even though Square-Enix posted that they have fixed this issue and that those people who were impacted must re-subscribe following the instructions here --> http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/polnews/news20583.shtml, the exact same error still occurs.

When I tried logging into my Play Online/FFXI Account around 12:30 PM Eastern Time to play FFXI, I received the exact same error message stating “PlayOnline services currently cannot be accessed because the selected PlayOnline Account has already been closed, or because service fees have not been paid. By reactivating your PlayOnline account, you will be able to access PlayOnline Services again. Reactivate PlayOnline Account? (LM-08)”.

When I click the “Reactivate Button”, I am taken to a Playonline logon screen where I enter my Playonline ID and Password and then I click the “Log In” button.

Immediately after I click the “Log In” button, I get “Error UCS-5024. Invalid process. Please exit the current application”.
At that point, I am unable to do anything more, except log off.

So the exact same problem is occurring even though Square-Enix claims that they fixed it via the web page --> http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/polnews/news20583

Also, if I try and log in via the PlayOnline membership information portion of the square-enix website at https://secure.square-enix.com/cisweb/app, I still get an error that says “PlayOnline services currently cannot be accessed because the selected PlayOnline account has already been closed, or because service fees have not been paid. By reactivating your PlayOnline account, you will be able to access PlayOnline services again. For more information, please log in to the PlayOnline Viewer. (LM-8)”.

And again, the only option available is to click the “Cancel” button and it takes me out of the environment.

Hopefully a moderator will weigh in on the exact nature of the issue and provide an estimated resolution plan and time table.

The problem is still not fixed

You are right regarding the sample size as far as statistics are concerned, but in laws of probability, perhaps anything is possible, perhaps not all is probable. I understand your frustration Siiri, I have empathy. Just trying to help. I had to get up early on almost no sleep =)

So, I enter my Playonline ID and Password and then I click the “Log In” button.

Immediately after I click the “Log In” button, I get “Error UCS-5024. Invalid process. Please exit the current application”.

At that point, I am unable to do anything more, except log off.

This is still NOT fixed.

Exact same for me.

Congratulations SE, I give up, I'm back to play in february after 1year and really enjoy the game but no the poor assistance and really is annoying, no is the first time I have problems about payment check, now a simple error and make me and my girlfriend give up. yeah, maybe now sound babycrying/mad, but the really is sad, normaly I defend and support FFXI over many mmorpg in the market because I think is a good game, diferent, and enjoyable, but really now i don't have how defend itwith this issues.

I'm sure i'm back someday, but now, I'm tired.

When I went to the PlayOnLine website and tried to log in there, same run around - "your account as been canceled etc. you must re-activate through the viewer" - which of course still doesn't work at all either.

I don't get why my mule was made my main though. XD ($12.95 for my mule, and $1.00 for my mains!)

Update: I managed to reactivate my POL account( that was the first task) but it didn't leave out the fact that I had to reactivate my content IDs. I had to update my payment information and select the characters to reactivate.

I figured to just activate my main and my one mule i use the most for now. It was like there was a whole system reset... but I'm not sure what to make of this. Can I have a "official spokes-person" comment on this?

How did you get past the error?

Still no word from a dev or a mod?

How ridiculous.

What's the point of a FORUM if you do not check it to make sure your customer base is SATISFIED.

I really really hope they have a GOOD explanation for this INEXCUSABLE LACK OF UPDATES ON THE SITUATION.

Since the issue is not resolved and we can't post on their status page, here are some step-by-step pictures of what's we're seeing. This shows what the problem we're running into looks like for us.

Following the steps provided to us:

STEP 1

We try to log on as normal, but are met with the message to reactivate:

Click for image (http://www.bluegartr.com/bucket/gallery/viewimage/19128)

We click reactivate, and this screen appears:

Click for image (http://www.bluegartr.com/bucket/gallery/viewimage/19129)

We enter the account info (not shown for obvious reasons), and get this message:

Click for image (http://www.bluegartr.com/bucket/gallery/viewimage/19130)

STEP 1 says to follow the instructions on the screen, but those instructions are simply to close the application.

Hopefully the support team sees this post and can get something out of it.
I am getting the exact same thing on a friend's account right now. We both use the same credit card (and my account works fine), but have different SE IDs. We have tested this from Windows Vista and XP. He also has a security token. I hope SE can take this detailed info and use it to help resolve things.

Well, there goes the weekend. I'm sure this problem will be fixed by tomorrow...hopefully. I'm sure the problem is that the right people aren't around on the weekends.

Still putting it down to unpaid fees, which in turn people jumped up calling SE out when in fact it was actually the pot calling the kettle black. -- Just my 2c.

Dumbest thing I've heard/read all weekend, I'm having the same issue, and haven't missed a bill in years, my debit card hasn't expired and there is well enough money in my bank account to pay the bill for ffxi, they just happen to be having some sort of issue caused by the recent registration server maintenance (which they idiotically like to coincide with the billing cycle so that if their is an issue then people lose service). I assure you that had they not already given a free month of service, this incident alone would warrant a refund for the month, as services paid for have not been rendered.

Hi everyone,

Let us first apologize for any inconvenience anyone has experienced. Normally, one’s PlayOnline account and Content IDs will automatically be canceled if the registered form of payment has either expired or declined our attempt to charge any incurred fees. To resolve this, a valid and supported form of payment simply needs to be registered. Once a valid form of payment is registered, the PlayOnline Account can be reactivated in addition to the Content IDs. Now we are currently investigating this issue as it might be related to the separate announcement regarding other customers experiencing the “UCS-5024” error. Our support center is also experiencing high wait times because of this issue. Once we have additional information regarding this an official announcement will be made.

If you haven’t already, please review our announcement regarding PlayOnline accounts being canceled using the link below.

Hugs to everyone from Ramuh and Texas! Yep USC-5024 won't let me thru after 4 days now, 2 accts same pmt method with security tags on pc's, husband is fine, my acct got deactivated with no way to "fix it" as of this min. Hopefully soon they'll reboot pmt system or something to reactivate everyone at once, then they can filter out the bad guys later :) I'm upset but patient, I understand they already have tons to deal with. If anyone finds a solution for us, put it up fast, so FFXI Doesnt collapse without us. Need a Chocobo ride between real life tons of work, too. :)
