Error 601 payment? NO MORE. Fix in here

Paying $20.00 for a month of service instead of $12.99 is NOT a fix to this problem.

ultimate game cards give you crysta. You get 20 dollars worth of crysta with that 20 dollar card. You then spend 12.99 dollars worth of crysta on the sub, anad have 7.01 dollars worth of crysta left over. You don't magically lose that extra 7.01 dollars worth of crysta.

you have $7.01 left over

AKA you paid $7.01 extra.

Why does this community INSIST on being argumentative.

Right, and the 2nd month you'll spend another $20 and have $14.02 left over.

Then on the 3rd month you'll have enough left over credit where you won't have to pay that month at all. This is using the previous math of $12.99 ($20 - $12.99 = $7.01) a month.

We're not saying it is an acceptable workaround for the company, but we are saying it DOES work and that you do still retain the excess value.

The 3rd month is basically a freebie because of what Valarice said.

It seems for Australians we can not buy Crysta. Our account information page only has Crysta info and the link to buy Crysta ends in an Error code 11000.

Kinda wondering whether I should bother with this game

Gah! Face palm. I'm not trying to draw anyone into pointless arguments here, but, at best, it evens out. There's no "freebies"! Gah! That makes it sound like SquareEnix is doing us a favour. We're still running around the long way so that our beloved friend SquareEnix doesn't look stupid.

What they're doing is stupid. What they're not doing is stupid.

This is all amidst a wide, clean, clear canvas of a successful relaunch. The game has really been not that bad. I would still like to play again sometime soon. But that canvas is getting so speckled. It's really getting hard to see a worthy product with all this shit flying around. This one just hit me in the face is all. And it stinks.

Lol Yes obviously. However if I want to buy another month after the first one, I would only have $7.01 dollars, and so I would need to buy yet another $20 card in order to purchase enough Crysta for the second month giving me $27.01. Then I spend the $12.99 and I am left with $14.02. Now on the 3rd month I re-sub, I will be left with only $1.03. So it would be time to spend $20 again. - I would never break even, and there is nothing else for me to spend Crysta on (for FFXIV). So eventually when I decide to stop playing, I will have some amount of wasted money left over. Hence, paying $20 dollars for a month of service that costs 12.99 is NOT a FIX to the problem. But go ahead and do the math to figure out how many years of service I need to buy to break even. As frustrated as I am by not being able to pay, I could use some more idiocy to make me laugh and lighten my mood. Thanks.

I fail to see what you are trying to accomplish. The money left over is used for the next month. So unless you throw a fit and quit, (Which seems to be the case anyway) you still are paying for what you use regardless. The service sucks, we get it. To sit there and (stomp, scream, whatever else you're doing over there) throw yet another fit about a fix, which works mind you, is the "idiocy" you are speaking of. Take that moment and laugh at yourself now.

On topic: It works. Takes 5 minutes of your time to do. The service sucks, stop beating the horse. Do it or shut up about it being cheap, etc. If you want to wait, then wait. But there is no point in throwing fits about something that can have you playing in 5 minutes.

What if there is no "next month?" What then? Would we get our $7 back? Paying $20 for a $13 sub is not the answer. Not to mention the hoops you have to jump through just to use it.
