Petition: clickandbuy the only way no,thanks.

I think this will start to happen for a lot of the distruntled customers now, they will turn loyal long standing subscribers into fairweather friends. They will take people that have paid monthly non-stop for years into people that will only pay that month if they feel Square have done enough to warrant the fee.

That's my plan!

LOL thanks for reminding me of this game, I tried long ago when JP first released, and wonder if my character is still there. I might give this a try again. Before was all in japanese, and everyone was japanese, so now there is a NA version in english? hows the server? are they multi region like ffxi?

Nah, the NA version of IMAGINE is run by Aeria Games and its seperated by region just like any other MMO. Your character should still be there along with all your stuff (except some of it might work properly this time). Also, I couldn't walk 5 seconds without seeing a bunch of people along the roads and the towns are packed.

I sort of like IMAGINE in that the community feels more like FFXI did back in the old days with lots of new and old players hanging out together. Plus, everyone seems more friendly like FFXI used to be back in the day. Nobody jumping down your throat for asking a simple question out in the field and people helping each other. The staff even hosts events with prizes and stuff for everyone.

More importantly, they seem to give a damn about getting our money and trying not to piss everyone off because its on a free-to-pay model.

Took me 10 minutes to sign up and switch to C&B. My life has not gone through any significant change during this process. You're all overreacting. I understand if it's not available to your region whatsoever that you would be concerned, but everyone else needs to stop digging in mommy's purse and get themselves an account with a real bank and establish real credit.

You are forgetting that a significant # of people don't have alll the options available to them everywhere. Just because you could do it easily doesn't make it so for everyone else. Many players are barely old enough to play, much less get their own bank and cc.

Please answer the following: Would you e-mail/mail/fax or otherwise supply an unknown third party with copies of your Driver's License, Birth certificate, Passport and other sensitive information in order to prove who you are only to be told that C&B is not available in your region? How would you like having your bank place a freeze on your account because they think it's suspicious activity? What will you do after having gone through C&B they all of a sudden have billing problems and you can't play?

This thread is not just about you, but about the people who don't like/refuse or can't use the current options.

September 1 is going to be an eye opener. Hopefully all who have transferred won't have problems and those who haven't will be able to re-activate easily.

By the way, did anyone see this?

I transferred over and chose crysta. Still no crysta in my account because I'm not sure I've seen anything worth paying for next month whereas if they had kept direct billing for the rest of world or used a better third party vendor they would have got my money without doing anything.

There's a Mantis. B@#&$es love Mantises. C'mon. Did you see the size of that thing? It' huge, and it's a Mantis. And it's huge. And Mantis-like. Can't go wrong with Mantises. They're so Mantisy. I love Mantises. Call me a Man-tis. Once you go Man-tis, you never go back. That's actually me in the pic. I know, you're impressed. See you in September!

You could have at least attempted to read some of the thread before you made yourself look stupid.

I have lil hope it will all be working. I transfered my accounts (again) and are not even able to get back into game now. Have to wait till monday (again) to make a long distance call to support just to be able to enter game. Been struggling 2 days to make that clickandbuy account but i have my doubts if this is going to work.....

[Noyax]

After adding my accounts to SE account for the security token i couldnt get back into game and had to wait 2 days for EU support to reset my password to be able to play again.
Now it took me 2 days to create that clickandbuy account (verifications) and after successfully adding my accounts to the same SE account again just for the payment issue, its the same story: cant get back in game again and again its saturday wo i have to wait monday to make another long distance call to play again.
Its really not as simple as you say!!!

This was meand to be replied to Harukusan's post
And btw.... i am an adult with no mommy's support anymore, my own account sinds 35 years and one of the biggest banks in europe.

Bad thing here in US with my bank is im getting charged an additional international fee for 4 accounts each, due to the fact click & buy does not have a branch on US soil. A friend of mine did the conversion, and while he was playing was booted for 2 days because the whole thing got messed up on their end. This whole thing really stinks, I really wish they would go back to the previos way. Im really concerned many people are going to have the same issue my friend had once everyone has converted
