For those of you that use Ultimate Game Cards

[Wildsprite]

Come on SE make Square Enix Crysta cards. call em Final Fantasy Crysta Cards to get attention for all we care but please make them, it would make a lot of us very happy and it would make you money. we know you like money. here the design part wouldnt even be that hard you could even re-use your existing game card designs like I have demonstrated in the pics



so how about it? let those of us who prefer to use Crysta or have no alternative due to whatever reason buy it in card form.

bumping in hopes someone from the community reps will respond.
c'mon SE. Square-Enix Crysta Cards would be a hot seller, I'm sure of it.

just wondering for a fact check: how big is the ratio between credit card user and non user? Seems like despite the trouble, SE still think they can survive from CC payments.

[Wildsprite]

I'm not sure, I do know that quite a lot of players were getting UGC as gifts to exchange for crysta to play the game. and there are those who can't get their CC to work for whatever reason...so Crysta Cards would be a great alternative. I have 1 friend who preferred the UGC cause she could just grab it while grocery shopping.

Maybe. But I'm beginning to think that majority of players using CC for payment. Maybe more than 80% of whole server population combined. Otherwise, there's should be pages of ppl ranting about this problem. :?

And sadly, maybe we're like very lesser group that only deals with payment alternatives, hence became one of reason why UGC/playspan discontinued.

Personally I prefer using Paypal and we can now use it to buy a digital 60 days time card. I have a fake/debit credit card too that I got recently that I use but I prefer PayPal. It'd be best of course to be able to use PayPal directly instead of buying a time card with it.

Yes I agree majority most likely pay with CC or use the SE time card. Any game the forums users are a small percentage of the actual player base.

the time cards are a good option for those that aren't Legacy(they give you 60 days time nomatter what), don't use extra retainers or want fantasia. but what about Legacy accounts and those who do use extra retainers or want more fantasia?
as a legacy account holder I do not see those time cards as an option for me, not when $29.99 USD would get me 3 months of time. not to mention I prefer to keep crysta on my account so I dont have to worry when my time is up. my preferred payment for crysta was the UGC but I could fall back on paypal if needed.

Square Enix Crysta Cards would be ideal. I wouldnt be surprised if a lot of players even paying with CC would use them.

Keep in mind it takes a corporation a fair bit of time to set up payment methods with 3rd parties. There is alot of internal discussion and debate that goes on to find the right solution. Many departments within the corporation must collaborate such an issue and come up with the best solution. As a corporation, money is key. You can't just throw money at a 3rd party payment system willy-nilly, or it could bit you in ... you get the idea. Be patient, they already said they are looking into it in a post on the lodestone when Ultimate Pay was removed.

point taken, I just wish they would communicate more with us on this.
