Agent Thomas A: Hello and thank you for contacting SQUARE ENIX Customer Support. Just a few moments while I review your question, please.
You: Hello!
You: My gosh I have been trying to get ahold of you guys for days!
You: The live chat server is really messed up.
Agent Thomas A: Can I get your name?
You: My name is Ryan
Agent Thomas A: Ok Ryan, I will be escalating this. I do not have an ETA but once it has been resolved we will notify you via email.
You: Ok, one second before you disconnect. I have a few questions for you.
Agent Thomas A: Sure.
You: Why is it that the PC players are reportedly being fixed on the spot, yet us PS3 players are shafted with an undertermined amount of time?
Agent Thomas A: PS3 registration goes through Sony's systems, PC goes through ours. Its far more difficult on the PS3 end.
You: Ah, but when I had spoken to the Sony representatives, they said it was all up to you guys at Square Enix.
Agent Thomas A: I wouldn't have too many details outside of that unfortunately, but currently I can only escalate this to get resolved as soon as possible.
You: You guys simply can't generate new codes for us PS3 players and deactivate the old accounts?
You: Also, one more thing before you go: the 7 days that are being given out, will this affect our inactive accounts as well?
Agent Thomas A: If I was able to fix it right on the spot, I would do so for this case.
Agent Thomas A: I do not believe it will affect accounts that are not fully registered.
You: Ah, well that is kinda shitty. Considering I can't play the intended account due to a mistake on the registration of accounts.
You: Would you know why in the world they would even set up an option for a second service account when you can only play one at a time to begin with?
Agent Thomas A: You can play 2 at the same time.
You: Ah. So if I were to go buy a PC CE key from amazon, would I be able to play my account on the PS3?
You: I am talking about Service Account 1 of course.
Agent Thomas A: If you had 2 separate service accounts, yes.
Agent Thomas A: They are separate accounts that would have separate characters and require separate service fess.
Agent Thomas A: fees*
Agent Thomas A: But they could be played at the same time.
Agent Thomas A: If they were on the same service, you could play on either platform, but not at the same time.
You: Ah ok. So if I don't feel like waiting for this ticket to go thru escalation, then I can just buy the digital download code, register it to service account 1, and I will be able to play it on the PS3 even tho the key was for PC, correct?
Agent Thomas A: No, it would only allow access to the PC
You: Ah ok. Well that clears up everything. Thanks for answering all my questions!
Agent Thomas A: Thank you for visiting the SQUARE ENIX Support Center! Take care and hope to see you online!
