I'm confused... [Payment options]

[Razor]

I apologize in advance if there has already been 369 and a half threads on this subject but...

I thought SE added more payment options other than ClickandScam and Ultimate Pay to avoid the mass exodus from XI? I'm trying to pay for my XIV account but all I see is still just Click and Buy and Ultimate Pay just like before. Isn't there a way to give SE your CC info now?

Didn't they add additional options? Or were they just talking about adding additional options? Either way, I'm confused and I have a bad habit of being horribly blind to features like these (lol), any help? SE, just take my money already! /sniffle

u could pay by Paypal, Debit Card or Credit Card under UP (please click on last tab on UP). I paid using Debit Card through UP without any problem but it is abt 10s delay for crysta topped up.

me? i opened up a paypal account years ago so I just use that.

My question was slightly more aimed at the fact the payment interface looks exactly the same as it did when the game launched despite press releases stating things were changing, but thanks for the advice nonetheless. I was kind of hoping I could just give SE my info like I did with XI and forget about it but I suppose PayPal works just as good in the meantime.

Greetings all,

I'd like to make a follow-up to my previous comment, as well as what was posted on the Lodetsone on 12/16 (Please note that we are working to implement additional payment options around the commencement of billing in early January).

As tonight will bring a close to the free trial period for FFXIV, I wanted to give you an update in regards to the new payment method implementation we have been working on. While the new payment method will not be implemented in time for the start of billing tonight, I want to let you know that we are nearing the end of the implementation phase and will be moving on to QA for it soon. While I can’t offer a concrete date for its release, I will keep you all as up to date as possible as we work on implementing this new payment method.

Alright, Thanks. So I'm not missing anything right in front of my face then. Shame it wont be ready in time for billing (might do some serious damage to the playerbase who wants to stay) but glad it is indeed coming.
