Payment Method Registration Errors [Error Code 401 and 601]

[Zeyphr_Darkshadow]

this is extremely frustrating to say the least. i've been trying to reactivate my sisters account for the past 3 days. i've missed both raid nights, resulting on my static replacing me for those nights. I know this is an extreme and highly unlikely, out of this world brain exploder SE, but wouldnt it be amazing if people could put in their card information, pay for subscription, and play? Wow amazing right? You should try it ^^

edit: I called support yesterday and they did.... wait for it... Nothing! Yey!

I'm glad to hear that this error seems to have persisted since, launch? Without being addressed in any meaningful way. Especially since I have now received Error 406, which doesn't give a valid reason for even rejecting my payment in the first place. To boot, this is the same card I used to pay for the game and my first two months (the only months aside from last which I played).

I sure hope they'll accept their own Game Card codes, since I'm not going to wait the week or so from all those supposed extra 24 hour lockout periods I would have added from trying my card again and again. I'm glad that they've allegedly got the invisible lockout times too, because they're very clear on the amount of time that needs to elapse before retrying your information.

I hear there are issues with their own game cards.. Sometimes when used you are unable to use your retainer and such... It's getting ridiculous.

I've used the time cards, but because I cannot pay for the extra retainer service my extra retainers still exist in game but I cannot access them and they are currently holding a lot of items and several expensive glamors hostage.

I only have the 1 retainer.. So if I bought a time card from somewhere like Game or something... And then entered the code on FF14 Mog Station.. I could possibly get back online?..

Also where can I purchase a digital one?

[siverstorm]

Yes, it is slightly more expensive but buying a time card and entering the code on the mog station > account services will get you back in for now.

My specific problem with that route being that I spent like an hour finding a store that had a single one in stock. They have digital cards...but that involves purchasing them directly from SE with a credit card.....which is the entire problem from the onset.

Great.. So either way we're stuffed digitally... Only way in right now is a digital game card in hand?..

Pretty much, google around to see if any shops have the physical cards in stock, call the store in advance to verify. One place I called I specifically asked if they had the 60 day game time cards he said yes, I got there and he tried to sell me a new copy of the game...
