For those of you that use Ultimate Game Cards

[Kimikryo]

Game Cards are not the type of thing that can be done overnight I went through this exact same problem with Perfect World International years ago. By the time PWI got cards on the store shelves I had already moved on to playing other games. Even if SE responds to this yesterday it takes time to establish store acceptance and distribution routes. This is a game for the ps3 and ps4 so they would not get rejected; less popular companies sell game cards. Game Cards are advertising but I doubt SE even has an advertising department. They seem to like to skip it to save a few bucks and go on word of mouth. Just speculating and keeping the thread alive.

true but an answer would still be nice.
Playspan/UltimatePay probably dropped the bomb on their merchants when they did it to us just making things worse all around
still hoping for SE Crysta Cards

Question: Does this affect payment through Paypal via UltimatePay, or does this only pertain to the cards themselves?

Because if I can't pay with paypal, I'm kinda dead in the water in three months.

its the cards and ultimate points. if you just use it to pay with paypal(if you don't have issues with it) you shouldn't notice a difference.

Offgamers(you know something is up when a site like this is now suggesting alternatives) is now suggesting alternate cards on their UGC page such as Rixty and GoCash cards. which support most of the same games as UGC. and they also have the image below up
too bad SE doesn't currently support those cards as I suspect they would be good replacements


their date is a bit ahead since you have till the end of september to cash in the cards and the end of october to use any remaining ultimate point balance but I do understand their desire to urge their customers to take action
also a large trusted worldwide company such as Offgamers would be a good place to start putting the SE crysta cards(if they make them) in the hands of gamers

Unfortunately, OffGamers is also an offloading place for RMT sellers.

My sub ran out today. I used up my crysta to continue sub and tried adding a little bit more crysta for the next sub with plain credit card and ultimate playspan (credit card) and both of my visa credit card are rejected. 2 options, 2 credit cards, all rejected with error 401.

I dont know what to do anymore.

Edit: something just occured to me, if players are forced to pay for subscription through game time cards and not crysta cards, they can't pay for extra options such as fantasia and extra retainer service. So...crysta card, where?

Edit: I got myself another ultimate game card to add in more points after I tried the credit cards just now. The card was bought from an online vendor I usually buy my ultimate game cards for my previous sub payments. It got rejected. I think my account is being locked billing wise due to the failed CC payment attempts. I've heard people say that I'm invisibly locked out of it for a month and every time I try again while being locked (which will give me an error again), the invisible lock will be reset again. Is this true? Do I really have to wait 1 month? This is crazy.

goodness I hope not. I suggest you create a ticket for this over on their help site.

SE really you need to do something about your billing. you have too many credit cards that are perfectly good being rejected. it's disheartening

[Alukah]

Not a ticket, they use live chat for these issues, but they should solve it fast.

don't they only use live chat during their normal business hours of 9AM-5PM(PST)?(not sure if the time is still the same but that is what it used to be)
