Three new accounts.

Beyond that, I'd prepay a few months to avoid having to do it every month. $28 per month, so three months of FFXI would be $85 worth of Crysta. Overall, infinitely more complicated than giving them my credit card and telling them to charge me once a month.
So, instead of having to open 2 new accounts, one of which you will probably never use after you open it, you open a third one.

Which is my point. It is still one extra account that you need to open, not three extra accounts.

This system will be in place regardless of you opening or shutting down your account, if this new system will mean the lost of 50~100 players, all well. I know that you guys think that SE hasn't researched the effects of this new system and what it will mean to everyone, but I'm sure that somebody did their research.

Besides, my solution is best for those who are afraid of everything, if they want to continue playing that is. If they quit, they were going to quit soon anyway, they needed an excuse to make themselves feel better (I don't know why, people are like that I guess).
