Happened to me too. Different country region locked out. My country isn't in the selection to boot..

Previously I was paying my sub fine since Sept 2013 and account expired yesterday. After that it's just goes downhill all the way, credit card, crysta, ultimate game card, PayPal, gameroff (3rd party agent from my country), tech support chat. Non of them worked.

However SE said they will get back to me. Truthfully I don't have much hope considering the replies this thread is getting. Hope we will draw enough attention for them to do something about it.

MeanwhileI will be seeking put a ffxiv game card from the retail store to see of any of it work.
