So playspan cards are something that I can pick up at my local walmart or gamestop and redeem for Crysta? Excuse me I'm ignorant of this stuff, I've used the same CC since the game came out here in the US and I've barely ever bothered with payment options except to change my exp date twice.

Don't know what you mean by cards, I bought Crysta through UltimatePay's web site and SE credited my SE account, everything done on-line.

But then maybe it's regional, I'm in the EU, never seen 'time cards' here.

But I'm not sure there's an option on NA accounts to pay with WebMoney, and there probably isn't.

@Karbuncle, No one really know why SE make this change, all we know is they drop playonline as 3rd party billing system, instead they choose C&B, of course imo it was a bad choice, they could have choose Paypal instead, but maybe in japan/Eu etc C&B was more popular and the market is probably bigger over there, no matter the reason SE choose C&B as partner for they billing system, that don't mean in future SE wont add more option like PayPal. Just keep in mind back before when it was Playonline only, SE had no alternative for anyone that had NO CREDIT CARD, and that imo WAS A BIG INCOME fail for SE, just think about how much money they lost every month.

For the ban, i doubt you get ban because you have not enough crysta lol that would be totally ignorant from them, so imo the only thing that goign to happen is your account be deactivate like when your credit card expire, and you just need reload crysta and reactivate it, that take 5 min...

Further proof you don't know wtf you're talking about because you think Playonline is a 3rd party company.

Well if we are going to petition for the current billing method to stay as opposed to what they are implementing shouldn't we do a more formal petition such as (...)

Internet petitions: serious business.

over 24hours and no one has stolen my money! whats the difference in this site or any other site? i mean places like ebay or amazon could steal all your money but they dont. people could hack newegg.com but they only hack ps3. so im sure we're just as safe as ever.

they are probably TRYING to let go of FFXI as they wanted NEW games to be played. ya most new games suck, but that doesnt mean they intend for ff11 to be the only FF played in 10more years. idk if Crysta equates but i really hate buying stuff like that because of micros*** making me buy points and charging me up the a** for everything.

idk why SE put in the effort to change this stuff, but oh well. im not going to go play gears.

While you're correct to point out he's wrong, in one sense he's not: POL didn't do the payment processing, they used a dedicated payment processor (whose identity as far as I know we don't know).

So, while we SEEMED to be paying SE directly (because as you say, SE owned POL), we weren't, they off-loaded the payment processing, the only difference is that we didn't know about it (or at least had no reason to need to know).

Some constructive comments (though most comments were constructive in this thread, talking about money

Context french/EU account :
Recurring billing payment
payment method :
Click and buy
Comments :
For me a nonsense because (as previously said) it's a major change for a major party of the member (I guess). More transparent implementation (where everyone will be happier) could have been done.

Manual payment aka crysta
Payment method
click and buy
ultimate pay : paypal, paysafecard, ukach, moneybookers, ultimate game card
Comments : Needing to make tweeks to extend the duration of the game experience is deceptive (for me). People were used to play when they wanted, now you will have to choose if you want to continue or not. Technician implementation, dont know if customer experience team was involved in this kind of choice.

End comment : Hope that SE will take position about our comments.
