Payment Error 401 - Confirmed work around

[Bobrangi]

For those experiencing issues with the payment error 401 - here's a work around, which i can confirm works for those whose accounts are registered to 'Europe & other regions';

Purchase a game-time card from http://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/ (at 1st the site appears dodgy, however i received my key immediately & it works)

Then access the Mog Station and renew your subscription using the code from CJ's Cdkeys

Voila - you can play again

Not sure if this breaks any forum rules (linking other sites etc) but given the issues i've had and the fact it's taken me roughly 5 days to find one that works it's a risk i'm willing to take

We shouldn't have to use work arounds to subscribe. SE needs to fix their crap billing system.

The problem is that I want to buy 30 days, not 60. And as already mentioned, workarounds like this really aren't acceptable. It should be as easy as filling in your CC info and press OK.

I've never seen anything like this. If it isn't resolved quickly, I'm not sure I can support a company without a reliable payment option.

I can confirm that this works, at least it worked for me. The game code you get from that site, is case sensitive when you type it in.

This also work with error 601, which is what I was getting.

Does it work for NA region too?

im already sitting on a $20 ultimate gamecard that didnt work for crysta....id like some more proof this actually works. anyone else try this?

nvm...i see its EU only

I'm not buying 60 days of playtime for a game that currently doesn't warrant it. I love the game, but I'm not convinced it's going to hold me for that long.

As a result of my card being locked out, I simply won't subscribe. WoW is still good, and actually the 5.4 patch is quite fun. I'll go play that till 2.1. I might come back. I might not.
