    1 Service Account for Multiple Regions?

    Hi there,

    Bit of a story first to get my position across and get any feedback from y'all...

    Lately I have been contemplating buying a new version of FF14 because I currently own an EU copy of the game but now live in the US - and every time sub renewal comes around (and for the expansion purchase) the sheer number of hoops I had to jump through was insane. For starters SE won't accept my US credit card and I have to pay for time in those imaginary crystals - but my US card won't allow the purchase of those crystals without first refusing and then calling me to make sure the purchase was legit. Then it's about a 50-50 chance that the next attempt works. I can't really buy time cards because I have to buy EU time cards which are scratch off, as the US digitial codes won't work for my game - so I'd have to get a family member in England who couldn't care less about my gaming to relay the code.

    Buying the expansion was also a nightmare because the US SE store wouldn't sell me a EU version of the game, and the EU Amazon store wouldn't send my copy overseas. So again I had to get my family's input which, as a now 31 year old, I'm loathe to do for things such as video games.

    Now as SE won't switch my SE Account region from EU to NA (whyyyyyyy?!123) I am left really with the only option of completely rerolling on a NA account and just blazing through stuff again in order to future proof my sanity by avoiding all the aforementioned annoyances.

    Now my question becomes simple to answer - can I buy a NA version of the game and add it as another service account on my Mog Station, or is the Mog Station / SE Account tied to EU? I really want to keep my SE username "Buckles" as that is my character, my link to the game since it came out.

    Also I am going to lose 8 (soon more) veteran bonuses because of this nonsense so if I can link an US copy of the game to my current SE / Mog Station account is there a way to bequeath it with the same level of veteran rewards as my current sub?

    I know it's a long shot but after all the time invested in my current game I am fine with losing what can be replaced - but a few of the rare things I am sure SE can find a workaround given the situation they created with multiple regions. I mean it's 2015, we just saw actual, close up images of Pluto -- surely either switching an account - or the bonuses from one account to another held by someone with the same name, ID, bank details, chromosome, DNA and good looks as mine can be done.
