[Aion]

the only company that refuse to take its customer money...lol

This is sorta good news... from the German community rep!

Wir planen, detaillierte Informationen zum Billing-System zu veröffentlichen, die alle eure Fragen beantworten sollten (auch das Gehilfen-Thema). Habt noch etwas Geduld bis dahin
We're planning to make detailed information about the billing-system public that should answer all of your questions (including the retainer topic). Till then, please have a little more patience.

and...

Was das Antesten des neuen Patches (1.20) angeht, so hat jeder Spieler Zeit, dies kostenlos zu tun, wie Yoshida hier ankündigt.
With regards to testing patch 1.20, every player will have time to do this free of charge as Yoshida has announced <here>.

Wir wollten es den Spielern ermöglichen, Patch 1.19 und 1.20 noch in der kostenlosen Spielzeit zu erleben.
We want to make it possible for players to still experience patches 1.19 and 1.20 in the free-to-play period.

Which means info will be coming and we shouldn't lose our heads just yet, nor are we getting billed before 1.20 is well-implemented.

So fingers are staying crossed.

the getting billed after 1.20 is already quite an old news, jsut that ppl flip and never really "read" and "understood" it thanks for the info.

Only if you have sufficient logic to put 1 and 1 together...

I wonder how many players are forced to quit due to the terrible payment system after Jan 6th!? Lol I'm surprised they haven't come up with better options like direct payment before officially announce charging us. SE really have the guts doing so.

You said it. Although the German rep has said they're still coming, this was not a very good PR move... and heightens scepticism that those alternative billing methods are indeed on the horizon.

Hi guys, OP back!

So... we were supposed to get more options, presumably in Oct-Nov...........

So it's almost Jan, and the game is going pay to play..........................

Not that I'm going to pay until 2.0 anyway, but for those of you that are, I'm concerned that you're stuck with this convoluted payment system (if you're even in a region that can pay at all!).

Where was it stated that it wouldn't be active by time they start payment?

Where was it definitively stated that it would...?

People seem to be under the assumption it wouldn't be active by time payment for XIV goes live, despite it never being stated as such.
