Mog Station error 601 & 401?

[Levi_Z]

I want to say thanks to all the people who have posted their advice in this thread and the other one in the Tech. Support forum. I have had this problem since release and have been following the advice of other people as it came in. You have been more helpful than the troll-ish Mod post in the tech forums which offered no support or ways to fix or go around the problem (eg. Tell us what to say to our financial institutions who are supposedly blocking us, put the error code in the FAQ on the account site, etc...).

I am currently overseas kinda isolated and everything I tried doesn't work (Kittra's workaround seems to be good but Paypal doesn't offer me the option to pay with debit). The only way that seems to work is buying Crysta using Ultimate Game Cards. My account is under the 48 hour block (48 hours according to the Playspan FAQ) and it's a long way around, but it still worked.

I bought the Game Cards from this website: http://www.pcgamesupply.com/index.php. They allowed me to pay for the cards in the currency of my choice and I had no problems using my credit card which SE and Ultimate Pay declined. Follow the instructions and you will have your card in about 5 minutes. Note: You will have to enter your phone number and have them call you immediately to verify your purchase. It was harmless and simple.

After you get your card PINs, go through the Mog Station system to add Crysta according to the amount of money on your game cards (eg. I added 7000 Crysta because I bought 1 $50 Card and 1 $20 Card). Go to the Ultimate Pay option and it will bring up the menu which I'm sure many of you have seen. I used my current country as the country setting and selected "7 More Options" and then "Ultimate Game Card". Punched in the PINs for each card separately and it added the Crysta with no problems.

I hope this will help those who are overseas and can't get their credit cards to work. As stated before, it is a long workaround but I figure it is the only way to get your account paid off as SE doesn't seem willing to change anything at this time.
