Error 401 and 601 CE Upgrade

[Falmie]

I'm back in the game!

Okay, I concur with AmmaUltman: Crysta works for me. My path was the following:

1. Log into Square Enix Account Management at https://secure.square-enix.com/accou...n?cont=account . Under Payments and Service Fees, click Add Crysta. (Or, in Mog Station, under Square Enix Account Settings, click Add Crysta).

2. I just wanted enough for one month (I plan on trying regular credit card again next month), so I chose "Specify amount of Crysta to add to your account" and put 1500. (Note, you actually only need 1499).

3. On the next screen, you can choose either Credit/Debit card or UltimatePay. Credit/Debit card simply spits out the same old 401 we've come to know and hate. UltimatePay worked for me!

4. Within UltimatePay, you have several options. I went with the plain credit card option, and used the same credit card which SQEX/Mog Station keeps rejecting with 401/601. Guess what, UltimatePay accepted it.

5. Back in Mog Station, the 1500 Crysta I bought showed up immediately. I was able to subscribe for 30 days of standard service.

Crysta is not an option for everyone. It doesn't even show in my Mog Station, due to region restriction. For some of us, the only option would be paying by credit card.
