    It's official news. Not a joke...
    you may have been typing as I was editing. As I added to the last post--I googled on it when I saw it pop up, and the only hits I got last night were the post I saw at FFXIAH. When I goggled it again just now, I got hits for FFXIAH, Alla, FFXIVPRO...and then further down playonline.

    The point still remains though--it should have been included on the announcement here. All that got posted in the forums was the addition of the option to enter an exact amount of Crysta--nothing was stated about the Credit Card billing option being delayed.

    The news post was posted before the thing about crysta in the information section. They stated both the info about Credit Card billing and Crysta at the same time in said news post.

    (Well, I don't see the time stamp on the news post, only the Information post, so I guess I can't really be sure of that.)

    You even quoted it yourself, what makes you think it's not real?

    It's been there for a while. Why would you use google to find something at the official site? Google is not 100% perfectly current. I suppose I could have posted the link with the quote, but come on, I don't make stuff up, and I don't use FFXIAH as a news source.
    Never claimed you made it up, nor did I claim you used FFXIAH as your source. It's just that FFXIAH was the only place I saw any mention of the delay on the CC options. I see stuff like that injected into posts all the time as a joke on announcements--sort of a tongue-in-cheek translation of what the official announcements really meant.

    And yes, you should have provided a link to the post. You of all people should know the value of quoting a source on someting new and important like that.

    Still should have been copied over in the announcement here as well. Who knows why they only selected the top portion of the announcement to post here.

    What do you mean still should have been copied over in the announcement here? You're really trying hard to fault SE as much as possible. The NA community managers were likely off due to the holiday.

    Frankly I'm surprised we got news at all given the holiday.

    It's a half-baked attmept to communicate....the biggest problem with the forums. Remember when the shift happened at launch? They stopped posting much of anything at the POL site--you HAD to come here to get details on ANYTHING for a while. Some people eventually just simply stopped going there for announcements, and came here instead.

    They REALLY need to work on streamlining their communications. If they want to make it one central portal, then do that. If they are going to use both, then they need to make sure the both of them present the same info--not half-and-half like this.

    You noticed that too? Everything they do is very half baked - every single thing - except Abyssea I wonder what else do you do over there behind the corporate offices.... They seems to not want to take advantage that the fact they have forum and able to get a good reading from their playerbase on what they want.

    And the only way to avoid click and buy is to have Paypall account - but you still have to buy Crysta through another vendor and set account with them instead of paying direct to SE.. like how it used to be.
