Merging Servers concern

Hello, first of all im a Ramuh sevrer player, at start i was a little dissapointed when SE announced the world merging, after a few days i realised it was an oportunity to meet new people and keep enjoying the game, but yesterday, reading the news about world merging I got totally shocked by what was stated there:

I won't be able to reactivate my account until the world merging.

It's really sad cuz i use a debit card to pay my monthy fee, so every month i got to reactivate my account, i think this is not fair, cuz i know many people who, like me, use this card type due lacking of a credit card, i would be pleased to SE hurry up the world merge or allow us to reactivate accounts while waiting....... T.T

Character Reactivation Service is disabled, but not account activation... I thought. Right?

I've already tried to reactivate another account i have and i have 3 days trying, and i still can't do it T.T, so i think account reactivation is disabled, i don't know if it is on purpose or just a bug, but the point is not me, and not 2 of my friends can reactivate the accounts T.T

What error are you getting? The billing server is down/congested right now: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...CS-60257-error

Yep, SE stated that this was solved on March 5th, but i still get the same error

lmao wence see why i just gone to call of duty with ham
i tried since the first day of this month to reactivate my account and only i got the same message over and over
the worse thing is im getting tired

if our crappy mexican banks could issue that im will surely get one

Yep, the problem here (at Mexico City) is that we don't have access to all that kinds of cards, people don't know how to use a Credit Card so asking them to get a chack card, well.. is almost an impossible request, i would be more that happy to get one, but i doubt mexican banks has ever planed to bring it here. T.T

Ha, looks like I'm not the only one with character reactivation troubles. I'm not even on an affected server (I'm on Bismarck) and I can't reactivate... looks like we're just stuck until the update hits.

; ; and I wanted to get my brd to 90 before that happened... so much for those plans.

Yep it appears so... and i think it's not fair T.T

i have a concern that when my world gets moved over i could lose my characters name.

"However due to the technical restriction, the only available method is to ask the character who has been transferred to a new World to change their name if their name happens to conflict with another character's name" - twitter @FFXI_EN

what if ive been playing with this char longer doesnt quite seem fair

I agree with you brymstone.. I've been avidly playing since PS2 launch in 2003, have paid for my character every month since then, and I have a lot of love for this game. Now I'm losing my character's name to someone who hasn't logged in for many years. It seems silly, but the name really means a lot to me and it pains me to change it.

I think it would be MUCH more fair for paid active customers to be able to keep their name. If those who no longer pay want to reactivate their character in the future, then they should be the ones who have to choose a new name. I can't help but feel unappreciated after being a devoted customer for 8 years and then being put through such inconvenience. I've talked to plenty of people who feel the same way, and because of the way the name changes are being handled, sadly FFXI will be losing a lot of customers.
