I still have a question about the SE Account transfer

[Neika]

If you're from north america but not in the US, you most likely still have a credit card that operates in Dollars.

Oh it does, but not US dollars. It has to convert over to US dollars, which means if I went through click and buy, I would be charged a convertion fee.

It is automated. You can put several months worth of payment on and just ignore it for a while.

Also click and buy only needs to convert currency if you're one of those people who did something they werent' supposed to and bought the game in a different region.

This isn't really true- However, due to C&B being based in europe, not the US, some banks treat it as a foreign transaction. All you have to do is tell your bank that you are making the transactions and everything will be fine and dandy. The same thing would happen if you flew across the world and used your debit card without telling your bank you were going there.

As long as you're responsible, you don't need to be afraid or feel uncomfortable about it. In the extremely unlikely chance something did happen, you can just dispute the charges or whatever and if necessary, have the card reissued- things you should be aware of and prepared to do no matter who you give your information to.

Please note the word allegedly used in my post and the term un-verified. Thank you.

Just use game cards or paypal then. Seriously, it's not that much of an inconvenience....

they said in the announcement and the faq they would be adding more ways to pay to the SE account system and a way to add 3D secure cards without click n buy was pretty much guaranteed, if they are gonna force click n buy on us many of us will just leave the game for good, so I really hope that isnt the case


perhaps Camate can clear this up for us, as I would like to be sure too

I actually was going to go the game card route, but there aren't any stores here that sell them. I'm all for them adding new ways to pay for the game, but they shouldn't also take away the payment method people have been using for years if people still want to use it.

I'll just be happy to see billing through the current company become extinct. 6/7 of the last billing cycles they screwed me up by not withdrawing the funds, and left me w/o a content ID each time. Good riddance!

I went to Clickandbuy.com, FFXI is not even listed as one of their games on the MMO page.

[wildsprite]

that would be because FFXI isnt a Square-Enix Account Game yet
