Was surprised to not see this posted anywhere, but Tanaka-san posted on the JP forum about this, so I'm just gonna repost here for those who may not know.

unfair, I could not get help when the system would not let me donate.

I still do not get why it had to be though crysta it is inconvenient and bugged, Why couldn't I donate though pol or something?

[azjazo]

Yep I tried to donate too, the system is unintuitive and crashy... hope we can donate just charging to our FFXI accounts :/

[Rianon]

What's the problem that happens? I just did it, and it took all of 5 minutes to complete. I used the Click and Buy option.

What's unintuitive about clicking 3 buttons and logging into paypal? /confused

[azjazo]

I dont have a crysta account or the likem, so I had to create and all that jazz, also dont have paypal, so tried to use my CC that I use for FFXI, and then in a random step, the service was down.

So maybe not unintuitive but a hassle, sorry for my lack of vocabulary, I dont see the spanish section of the forum.

If you noticed, you can continue to donate and receive the item in the future. You can still even get in on the initial distribution.

I had issues also because of the whole credit card thing. So, I had Paypal take money from my checking account and then bought Crysta to donate. I wouldn't wait long to do this though. It can take a couple days for Paypal to receive the funds.

This is very cool! A nice thing for SE to do for those who donated

Dreams do come true! I'm gonna get a moogle hat! and it has a green instead of yellow ball thing, which is way better!
