I have tried all that Sorbet... And I have tried everything everyone has suggested in this topic. From VPNs to different browsers and anything in between.

Right now I seem to have gotten up a step in the situation. Now I am getting an Error 401 instead of the usual 601. Which means it is because my credit card does not match up with my place of registration.

Understandable since I was working in the US when I got the game... and then I got posted to Shanghai (and looks like I am gonna be here a few years). But now for some reason I cannot even change my region setting... But then when I asked a friend back in the US to help me with the registration, he said he got the same error 401 as well which seems weird since I was his housemate for the last 4 years and have been using the same internet and everything since I left the country...

So to summarize:
Nothing in this forums works for me
Error 401 instead of 601
Cannot change region settings
Friend back at old home also unable to to help me subscribe

The only reason why it seems I am one of the 'oldest' posters here is because most of them have just simply given up and what not... Being in Shanghai is very lonely for a gamer and FFXIV held many of my friends whom I have played countless other games with for many years... I mean 'since-Ragnarok-Online' old. So not being able to play and meet up with them in FFXIV is almost like being put in isolation...
