SQEX Attempt to Eradicate "Foreigners" from JP Server by BLOCKING/Convolute PAYMENT.

I'm not sure I'm ready yet to gamble my access based on the hope that I won't lose access to a 10 year old account that I've bought plenty of cosmetic items for so I could support the game.

I think this behaviour might actually be in violation of EU GDPR rules and the 'right to rectification' of personal data. I've reached out to the authority in my country and if it is a violation I will make a formal complaint and encourage other EU residents to do so too.

I think the only way SE will address this is if their hand is forced at this stage. They've known it was an issue for 10 years already and refuse to take any steps to fix it.

if you weren't hit by the invalid address screen.
You should be able to buy stuff still.
And Paypal supposedly does not share what country's card was used to do the purchase.
So that should be better

If you are able paypal can be used to buy Crysta which can be used to buy game time. I do not know if this would work for you but it might be worth having a look at. Since its an accepted way to pay by SE I don't see how its risky for you.

I'm starting to think this is a conspiracy of SE trying to get rid of the legacy players discount and to force the majority of their players to buy Crysta instead. If they don't fix this issue, no one will be able to convince me otherwise.

Please please SE fix the payment issue! This is such a priority!!

I would readily believe this is a colossal fuster cluck by SE and the new payment processor. I doubt very much there is a greater conspiracy. SE is really good at stumbling into fuster clucks as anyone that has been around awhile has seen.

I believe it will get fixed. How long it will take is a FAR bigger question

I hope so too. The thought entered my head, but I shouldn't be spreading silly ideas. I agree with you. I'll delete my original message, because I feel it's too far out there.

I would strongly suggest opening a ticket with Square Enix Account Management. I was able to get mine to work. I don't know exactly how, but I know others are still having issues. It's best to report it to SE so they can figure out what's wrong on their end.

When I signed up for the JP version of PSO2 in 2012, I had to give them an address. So of course, I used the physical location of Sega of Japan like every other westerner without an address in Japan.

you needed something similar for Monster Hunter frontier as well
