Payment Method Registration Errors [Error Code 401 and 601]

[Orion31]

So far I have tried:

Visa (x)
Mastercard (x)
American Express (x)
Cysta-Paypal (x)
Crysta-Credit Card (x)

Got family in the US to subscribe (x)
Got Family in Singapore to subscribe (x)

With VPN (x)
Without VPN (x)

I have used 5 Mastercards, 3 Visa Cards, 3 Paypal accounts and 1 American Express Card.

The reason cannot be that I am in China could it? Who else is still stuck out?

You may also be blocked... they don't tell you this until you submit a support ticket but after the first error it's best to wait a few hours before trying again, if you don't and you do it again, you will get another error and there is a locked placed on your account to register new payments for 24 hours, if you do it again after the 2nd error, that 24 hours becomes one month. Each time you try and get an error you renew your 1 month lock on your account.

The stupid thing is they don't tell you this until you submit a support ticket and they send you an automated response explaining the lock. The next step is to either contact support via live chat or phone and they will tell you the same thing and they can't do anything. They may take your card number to maybe put on a good card list... idk? They took my card and that is what I figured. Anyways... after that it's best to not try and register or pay for a month from the last time you got the error.

My month should be coming up I think, but I'm gonna wait a few days extra just in case.

If you are desperate to play while your month lock is counting down and you have a PS3 you can buy the PS3 version and add that to your account for a free 30-day trial.

Anyways... I feel for you though and this whole thing is stupid.

That is utterly ridiculous! Especially if they are not going to tell people that in the error message.

And pay over twice as much as a sub? No thanks!

EDIT: If that happens with me then I am simply going to walk away from the game. No game is worth that kind of nonsense.
