Dear Devs. (Please read)

It's going on a week since we last heard anything. Since my last post replying to a Dev. was likely lost in the flurry of posts in the Petition thread, I will quote it here.

Crysta is a hassle and we don't want to buy extra, we mostly want equality. If you can, can you atleast give an explanation as to why the Japanese playerbase can buy exact amounts of Crysta and can give automated payments directly to SE, so we can better understand and not point fingers in assumption?

I'm still waiting to transfer my account, still waiting to hear something about possible future payment options, and still curious as to why JP players have payment so much easier.

Please respond.

Still, nothing..?

Honestly, as we saw with the relic thread, there is no reason to have to keep making threads about the same thing and asking for a response. They have seen and heard what everyone has to say and they will provide us with info as they have it.

I'm surprised they haven't made an announcement by now about a fix, and I'm a tad anxious about it myself. I'm playing on faith at the moment that they'll fix it in a satisfactory manner. If they don't, I'm just wasting my time. I'd rather they stall as long as they need to to come up with a good solution than rush in with fix that doesn't fix anything.

The question is, how close to the deadline is this going to be pushed?

The day of or the day before seems like pushing it to close. People need to take care of whatever procedures, and don't want a service interruption. Even a fix two weeks before, well... if you're anxious now, let's see how you're doing in two weeks when time is really running out.

If I were SE, I would do a few things:...

1) I'd make an official update announcement about what exactly they're going to do in the next update. Get people distracted, get them talking about the game itself.

2) Give the playerbase feedback--stay in touch. Even if it's just,"We're listening, please keep talking about it. We have a lot to do, and finding a workable solution will take some time. We are sorry that we can't anything specific just yet." Even if it's empty and doesn't provide anything new, keep talking. It makes it seem on a superficial level that we aren't kept in the dark when in fact we are.

3) Consider moving the date back by as much time as is necessary to get everything in order.

Making new threads about it though won't do much. There's probably... 2-4 dozen threads about the subject. Frankly till I saw this thread I thought it had been discussed, and everything had been said and re-said about it, and it the conversation had died down a little. In fact, someone really cool and smart declared a moratorium on new threads about this.

This isn't something that can be changed without going through a number of channels if they're even going to make a change.

SE has already said they'll be looking into it and whenever they have a solution or lack thereof, im sure they'll relay it.

[EU] Square Enix Account Transfer & Payment Procedures FAQ (05/08/11)
Hello there !

Here is a slightly amended Square Enix Account Transfer FAQ for European customers ! Sorry again for the time it took to publish the European version. Some questions may be exactly the same, however everything have been left for more consistency...

OK, here's what they're going to do next.

They will make Chrysta available in $1.00 denominations. It's too easy of a fix to not do. No matter what else they do, they will do this.

But will it be enough?
