Change in billing with Acct Management sys

[Fearforever]

If anything this new system will save money, you can reactivate a new char on say the 29th of a month and not have to pay the full-monthly fee for the 1-2 days before its the 1st again.

Speaking of billing, does anyone else have issues every month with being kicked off the game?

I've never changed my credit card except for the expiration dates since playing, yet ever since the earthquake disaster I've been struggling with Square Enix every month to get my game back. It's frustrating, especially when that credit card verification thing doesn't work sometimes. ;~; I think I'm being double billed each time, too.

Will the purchase of Crysta for FFXI be kept seperate from Crysta purchased for FFXIV when it goes to subscription or will all purchases be pooled. Answer will determine how I pay for FFXI in the future.

Clearly I don't 'know' for sure but given how POL accounts are linked to an SE account at the moment I see no reason to think the Crysta balance would somehow be marked for one game or the other, especially as SE have said all along one of the ideas of the SE account is to centralise payments for their 'franchise' in general.

the crysta option is a good deal if you do not have or want to use a debit or credit card. It is easy to buy. I use time card in Aion and wow and found it helpful just buy enough crysta to last you the year if you are the think ahead type. This waya you are not over purchasing. Plus also it keep you from ID theft by not putting your CC/ dc info up. I kore or less get 3 mnths worth so I'm only hving to buy it once every three mnths

Quoted for importance. This should end most of those false double billings.

You're not. Except for this one recent incident (which they fessed up to right away), an actual double billing is an extremely rare occurance. Failing verification does not result in new charges. Please review your fees in the viewer before throwing stuff like that around.
