All accounts upgrading to Square enix accounts

[Runespider]

You realize that this is actually against the TOS right?

Using fraps to take a picture is against the tos.

Anyway yes I know it is but lots of players have accounts they inherited (especially in the abyssea age) and have been paying subs on for a long time, if nothing changes then this will continue to be the case. If they take action on names or something they will lose a lot of monthly subs for no reason.

Another step in the right direction, however more things that should of been done awhile ago no offense

Not really. I liked having a portal of games to choose from when I loaded up POL, but I play the JP version of this game, so maybe I'm just biased on not hating POL to it's very existence.

Or people just don't like change.

This change is going to be great for people who got FFXI The CORRECT way instead of importing the game from another country before the game even came out in the US or EU.

And I don't believe that the use of FRAPS is against the TOS. All FRAPS is is just a video recorder switch does not effect anyone's game play so it clearly can not be against the TOS.

I even took a huge step a few years ago and requested a GM and ask them and they said that the use of FRAPS or Xfire tools are fine to use as long as they do not effect the game or other peoples gameplay in which such... trying to change game flow and other mechanics.

There are still quite a few people that imported FFXI many many years ago, as such they play FFXI from a region other than what their install is. Are they going to be safe with this new change?

I use an EU account, on an NA client with an NA credit card, I've had my SE ID since they started selling mog satchels, It's working fine so far.

You're assuming that people never move from where they were when they created their characters.

I doubt that the names on the POL and SE accounts have to be the same.

And can't you try calling support to fix your name? How did you enter it backwards in the first place? Shouldnt you be double checking before submitting important personal information?

I entered mine correctly when I first made my account, and it's now backwards. Kind of unfair for you to assume that everyone whose names are backwards is to blame. Have you checked yours lately? Though I suppose if you made your account within the past 2 years or so it might be in there correctly.

If using fraps was against TOS then SE would not have been able to do the fan festival video contest they had years ago. (Though it was a joke among friends at the time : congrats contestants! bant!)

How did you enter it backwards in the first place? Shouldnt you be double checking before submitting important personal information?

How will this affect people who got their first and last name reversed in POL by someone at SE somewhere in 2004-2005?

Was wondering why that happen also.

They don't have to be the same. As my name isn't Japanese but my account is, and you had to type in a kanji name, the name on my account isn't mine. The name on my SE account is mine though.

And what about those people that lived in Japan at launch and then moved out of that country later, for work/school/other reasons...? 9 years is a long time to live in the same place. I've lived at about 6 different addresses in the past 9 years. You can't change the region the address on your account is for if you move out of the region.

The switch to SE IDs may allow us to finally change the region of our accounts though. They did it once with SE IDs, they should be able to do it again.

[svengalis]

Does anyone know if it is possible to have two different SE accounts by same user? I already have one for one of my accounts but I don't want to add both accounts to same SE account.
