the reason for the change is they are no longer really using playonline as a "network" they will only use it as a lobby to connect to the game. We were psying playonline, not really SE in a sence. Playonline was a middle man.

the way japanese set up money is much different then us and eu. they callulate yen differently then we do our money.

like buying manga is 500 yen (fake number used as an example of yen) where over here it would be $12.88 ( a fake number used as an example to show a difference)

meaning they can pay in exact ammount because of their curreceny, and how they set it up.
