Fix the Payment Processor or Offer Free Subscription Services Until it's Fixed

[CrystZ]

There's a maintenance notice on the JP Lodestone for players who use something that translates as "d payment".

Some think it refers to debit card payments. Hopefully they're correct and we'll be seeing a fix for the debit card issue by the week's end.

It's for D-barai which is the payment menthod for people using Docomo mobile network.

Oh well, so much for that.

Have to keep hoping that SE and their payment processor get this straightened out for those affected. Personally I use a credit card because consumer protections for credit card transactions in the US are significantly stronger than protections on debit card transactions but I know that they're not an option for everyone.

This is taking way too long to be fixed. I hope SE is trying to find a competent payment processor to replace this one.

Sounds about par for the course. International issues, SE sleeps. JP issues, FIX THAT SHIT ASAP!

I am seriously wondering if there isnt a bigger issue with the payment processor not being able to do debit cards and SE being contract bound to stay with them for a period of time. Probably just me needing a tinfoil hat but seriously what business willingly takes a hit to revenue like this.

I actually didn't try my CC because I was afraid to do so after what happened to me on the SE store, so I bought gametime cards from a 3rd party retailer.

I think that's the only real option your friends and the rest of us who have problems have currently .

Hey guys, just wanted to update that I tried a foreigner card to buy a fantasia and it still worked even if the billing address doesn't match your current address.

If you have an option like that, I would suggest trying it since the billing address doesn't seem to matter, at least from how it worked for me.
