Payment Method Registration Errors [Error Code 401 and 601]

[Mikeyeli]

OK, I FINALLY got thru to SE Support on Live Chat, and actually got, what appears to be, a helpful explanation. My account is on a 30 day block, because of excessive attempts. Why 30 days, only SE can answer why they think that is appropriate. Personally, I think this is absolutely ridiculous, 24/48/72 hours would seem reasonable to me, but, apparently, SE thinks that's necessary.

This isnt clear to me, is your account on a block, or is the specific card on a block? So even if I try with a new card, ill just be making things worse?

Also, why cant they give this information here in this thread, the 30day block, is the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard when it comes to trying to pay an mmo.

His account is what's being blocked not his card but even if you try any other type of card it will still give the same error no matter what type of card you use. The reason SE is doing this stupid block account shit is so they can limit the amount of gold farmers because acording to them there system is working the way it should but it is actually blocking legitimate players and making them lose money and it seems that they are fine with this

Got off a call with a se support center. They say it is the players fault for getting there credit card banned, and the only way to pay is to get the prepay cards.

You have offically pissed me the f*** off! I want my money back for the game!!!

The ability to pay with ANY credit card is blocked from your account for 30days. So in essence, yes your account is blocked from any time of debit/credit type payment. If you try with a new card, you will increase your blocked time on every single attempt.

Ok peeps, im off to play GW2 while I wait for Wildstar to come out, a real shame cause I really liked this game. I wouldnt be so mad if Ultimatepay was an option in my country, but alas SE hates money.

Thanks everyone in this thread for being so informative...Peace!
