Funny thing...I was able to use my debit card to pay for my account but when I tried paying for my girlfriend's account as well, it gave me the 601-401 errors...

I think they have a system in place so the same credit card can't be used across multiple accounts for security purposes or something like that.

That's silly. I've had no issues with this for other P2P MMOs; it is like they do not want my money.

And sadly, because I was declined once or whatever, that account is down for 24 hours or something along those lines..

It really isn't so silly. This is a safeguard for credit card fraud.

Just tried again since it's been 24 hours since I first tried to get in. Entered the correct information and still getting Error 401/601.

Well, guess it's back to Guild Wars 2 until they fix this disaster of a payment system. Assuming this doesn't get swept under the rug.

I used to work at Sony Online Entertainment in billing support and this issue came up a lot. For some online transactions, a $0 authorization charge is sent to the financial institution to verify that it is a valid account. Based on my experience there, many banks/financial institution automatically decline $0 authorization charges (by default) until you specify that you are okay with this. At the time, I had many customers calling back saying everything was working fine after contacting their financial institution and sorting it out. You have to specifically mention $0 authorization charges or else their customer service won't know what you're talking about.

Now this may not be the same issue everyone is having, but it doesn't hurt to call and find out.

It isnt. we assure you.

It could be for some as every financial institution is different. The only ones who can say it is or isn't going to be a problem is their banks.
