Question about crystra?

If I am playing FFXI and FFXIV, and paying with crystra. Both games have expired because I didn't have enough crystra. When I had $20, to get 2000 crystra which game will become active 1st, or do I have to go in and reactivate the account in SE account management.

When reading about crystra for ffxi the account get cancelled if crystra aren't inplace and automatically get taken out if they are.

So if I add crystra it automatically pays for the game and I can start playing again.

Please address this.

As I read it and from what I see was happening in my SE account regarding FFXIV characters, each month the system will tot up ALL your subs from both games and take that from your Crysta pot, if you don't have enough Crysta NO subs will be paid at all, so neither game in your scenario will get paid for another month.

If that's the case, then all your IDs will be canceled and you'll have to re-activate them, as you describe.

That's how I understand it, anyway.

Ok, yes I know FFXIV isn't costing anything yet.

ok, Then the next question is. Say both billing cycles are on sept 1, and I only have 2000 crysta, Which game gets renewed automatically for another 30 days.

Probably neither, for reasons Kraggy just explained; insufficient Crysta.

that's actually a pretty good question lol. They probably won't have an answer to it however until they actually turn ffxiv into p2p.

If both accounts got cancelled for nonpayment and you didn't add enough crysta to cover both, you'd simply choose which one to reactivate. The system doesn't go into some kind of overdue fees mode like POL's system did. It simply cancels the account as if you did it yourself.

keep and eye on your crysta and whn you can put some in the pot. :) even if it is just $10 a week.

That's an infinitely better idea than base price+mules per month.

Your superior intellect has certainly put me in my place.
