For those of you that use Ultimate Game Cards

Nothing wrong with getting a deal, though tell me this.

Is it Square Enix's fault that ultimate game card closed down? I mean they have zero control over another corps actions and SE did make FFXIV game cards except no deals and im positive you could pay money to get that card.

so the 2 friends post and yourself and how long you played ffxi kinda seemed pointless to mention if you ask me I am not trying to be a ass

Then let me ask this back to you: How do you pay for extra services like retainers and such without CC or having your CC unable to registered as valid payment?

Don't know if you give this much thought, especially if your CC has no problem so far. But what if yours getting problem later on?

And don't you think that SE, given that it's "not their fault" as you said, should've prepared contingency plan before UGC went down with playspan disabled?

I'm working on company that provide services. If things like this happened, some department especially financial & IT will get no sleep for days until subscription issues got sorted out. Now... I don't know if this is a good thing or not, but... you think SE should take easy approach on this?

= you think SE should take easy approach on this?

Well yeah of course retainers are done with a CC but like I said before credit card company No Foreign Transaction crap is on the their side not SE's.

But you are right the retainer thing is a issue for that.

Also No I think SE should look into things to make it easier for fans.

I think SE messed up on a few things, I am even regretting on buying a house reason is basically this, just imagine a server merge if the population get low what will happen to the house you paid for but I agree with some of your statements.
