[Dev] Go Live Billing Options

[AnaviAnael]

Thanks for the info, Catapult. You guys are stuck between a rock and hard place. Perhaps if this topic gets enough attention, SE will do something. (Hey, here's hoping.)

Free to play with options of buying content i like better for this game. That way i only pay for what i play not by the month.. No trolling please about it, i know alot of people dont want this to happen =p

I just remembered, I seem to recall that Wada gave an interview after the release of next year's projections, in which he commented on the possibility of hiring people to develop their own in-house billing system. I may be misquoting though, or have the source wrong. Anyone remember this? Or know the source?

If this is true, YES PLEASE! I'd rather pay them than some company that has a spotty reputation.

Well, I don't remember for sure, which is why I'm asking if anyone can confirm. Perhaps it was an article in nekki? Nikki? Something like that. Fail brain is failing.

If this game goes p2p with current billing options I'll just go back to XI. I am not comfortable with click n buy and that alone is a deal breaker iny books. I really hope SE changes it up or I'll end up quitting a good game for no reason.

I'm in the same predicament, except I wouldn't be going to FFXI. I love playing FFXIV and would like to continue doing so for the next 5+ years, so I would be very disappointed if I have to stop playing because of the rediculous billing options. I have no intention of using the broken crysta system. It's really the ONLY deal-breaker for me.

Click and Buy is a no go for me as well for sure

I opted for the Click and Buy account.
I had to update my credit card details for the account; stupidly tried to do it at work thinking I knew which password I had used but it ended up that I couldn't remember it, so I contacted them for a password reset to my registered e-mail address.... it took them 6 hours to send a simple password reset so that I could access my account.
Yes, it was my own fault, I fully accept that, but I did not expect it to take them that long to do something so simple. Makes me worried for the time ahead when they are actually charging me.... Fingers crossed that it was just a one-off. Oh, and I'm pretty sure at the time that I could not find a telephone number to contact them on (e-mail correspondence only ><).

This topic already should have enough attention, sadly tho the Devs seem to be ignoring this one and concentrating on something less important liek adding missing genders to the game... Seriously WTF... Content, Optimization, and Billing should be at the forefront of everything SE is doing in this game. Hi were going to release 4 MMO next year and have crap for a billing system, yeah the brilliant Managers behind this one truly never thought things through, please explain to me how they even currently have there jobs.

Is this Quietus from the formerly-Fairy server?

Yea, who's this lol?
