    About billing and why crysta exists

    Just thought I'd make this post after reading a topic further down about the billing and everyone complaining about it.

    Think of Crysta as a means of making the game more accessible. The way I see it SE probably plans on making game cards for Crysta available in stores similar to the business model of WOW. If people can get pre-paid cards they can get at the game without having to need a credit card more people will be able to play, and I think that's the whole point of crysta. Personally I'm using the crysta method because I don't like having to watch my account every month to make sure the transaction goes through.

    I just wanted to spread some light on this topic. It's all about making the game available.

    It will probably be available at some point, I just don't think it's at the top of the to-do list. The game is still in it's infancy and all the marketing isn't even being thought of at this moment.

    well, there also the potential of attracting the younger crowd, and having their parents foot the bill(and take it away when nessesary)

    It might or might not available at some point, what are people that wants to play supposed to do?

    i am a victim as well, CnB rejects every single of CC and doesnt accept crysta at my country, i had to ask a friend from other country to help me for payments..

    Do you know because of this issue alot of people from my country that wants to play had to buy the game twice? because they dont have the luxury of overseas friend that are willingly to enter their CC for your game? so they had to buy another box to get the reg codes, fake a country origin to the one that has crysta access.

    could u imagine how frustating that is? to people that claimed they really are mad about that this game is so bad they wasted 40$, we lost 80$ here. big bravo.

    While I see your frustration I don't understand why you purchased the game if you knew there was a monthly fee that you might not have the means to pay, not that it matters at this moment because the game is free to play till further notice, but you were aware of it and you still bought the game. Next time I suggest further research into how it works if you don't want to pay with a card.

    Don't get me wrong I feel bad for you that your out that money, but it is your responsibility as a consumer to learn about a product before purchase. The info was out there.

    i might misunderstood your sentence, but where did i say i do not wants to pay?
    everyone was well aware about the payment fees but there was never any warning that "sorry your coutnry doesnt accept both crysta and CC"

    the game doesnt let us PAY with any method was what i am saying

    if i were to buy game, i would research the game, reviews, screenshots, systems, etc
    but not the payment system, why would anyone ever thought of paying for a game subsciption fee could be such a pain in the ass?

    You did misunderstand. I meant that you should have learned if you would be able to pay for it. I didn't say you wouldn't want to.

    And the fact that you didn't look into it before hand means you only have your self to blame for not learning about the product before you spent your money on it. Sorry but that's just logic.

    Anyone remember the adventure packs from EQ2? There's your reason for Crysta.

    I imagine SquareEnix plans on introducing smaller content you can buy to add to your gaming experience.
