Payment Method Registration Errors [Error Code 401 and 601]

[Richiealvian]

Sadly I had the same issue, contacted commonwealth bank and said it was not on their end and I got billed AU$1.45 6 times, (yes I was that impatient. The thread 401 said it might have been because my details were incorrect so I tried again thinking I might have hit the wrong key or inputted a slightly off date) What my bank rep said was there might be some regulations from their side because it was an overseas company which might be the problem. In the end I resorted to a website to buy game card and it worked perfectly, at the same price too. (20 euros for 60 days)

Now I just hope all those pending 1.45 does not come through, or even worse the actual subscription later on resulting in me subscribing for 2 years or I'll be extremely mad. I'm willing to put up with this crap because SE has my respect from many, many years ago (From final fantasy 4..) but I sincerely wish they can be more professional in this matter. I had extremely troubling issues during the early access as well regarding region and service account.

Other Australians who can't pay, get a 60 day FFXIV time card from a place like game.co.uk. They will email the registration number to you after a couple hours. I think it's a few dollars more expensive but it works flawlessly and at least it gets you back in the game. Make sure you have the EU region game.

SE should have worked this problem out in 2 months so by then we can forget about stupid time cards.. I hope..

I tried this. It's been 13 hours for me and I still haven't gotten it from that site. When I checked the page it now says to be released on TBD. I don't know if this is region specific, or if SE, in their quest to screw over people trying to pay them out of pure idiotic spite, made game.co.uk stop sending out the codes.

Lol they don't have enough collective braincells in their overpaid asses to even realise this is a problem.

It said TBD when I bought it as well but after about 2hrs the code came through. Don't know if the weekend will stuff them around but I would think this sort of purchase is pretty automated.
You did get the purchase receipt email right?

Yes, I got that after an hour. It's been something like 15 hours since that though so it's either not automated, or SE is cracking down on people trying to pay them.
