Upcoming Changes to Payments for NA

[Zykin]

Man I'm a little concerned about this myself. I'm Canadian so I already have to deal with currency conversion when paying my subscription. Now I may be subject to some tax? Maybe not???? Idk the lodestone post wasn't super clear and I know there's obviously big prioritization for the USA because that's where their offices and stuff are located. But like...idk if I'll even be able to pay my subscription if I keep getting hit with more fees. I'd love for Square Enix to clarify - on top of some more transparency regarding the payment processor issue. But who knows if that'll happen :')

This is such crap. They've operated fine and dandy for what, 11 years now without needing to do tax and now, SUDDENLY, this is a thing? They haven't even fixed the Visa Debit card issue yet, which DEBIT is a major form of payment within the United States, many folks don't use Credit Cards, it is wild they think it is OK to have people jump through hoops to pay.

At this point, I am going to offload my 3 extra retainers (they only bring me junk anyway) and load up on subscription time cards and go that route.

Many states are requiring taxes. It's not SE just deciding to do it. It's law.

You can expect to pay about $3-4 more per month for the subscription alone, and then usd value+30-35%=CAD value +13% for anything else like retainers or mogstation. yeah thats really expensive. so a $50 mogstation mount will cost you about $75. everything will be close to 50% more expensive than the usd value on their website.
