Payment Method Registration Errors [Error Code 401 and 601]

[MCAshe]

I got this message from the Email support ticket I submitted after hours when this first started happening:



So since I tried multiple times, not having been informed of the consequences, I guess I get to go a whole month without. It sure would have been NICE if they had actually put that kind of warning IN the error message. "Don't try again for 24 hours, or we'll permaban you!" .. yeah, that would have been pretty neat.

It's so awesome that the lock is UNKNOWABLE too. Am I locked out for 24 hours? a month? 2 years? Nobody knows! But, if you try to reactivate before the unknowable timer runs out, we'll refresh your lockout, just because we love you!

It's crystal clear that they don't want anybody playing their games anymore.

Unbelievable.

Awful service... i'm now trying to pay my moth but in mog station appears a message error 601... if i keep trying may be i will see the same as you... block for a moth that's incomprehensible and absurd... better when they cheked crysta with paypal... good one square... :/

Tried again today. Another error 401. I guess I really am blocked for 30 full days. It might be less, but since I don't know how long the block will last (and neither does Square Enix, apparently), it's not worth trying before mid November because if I attempt it before the 30 days is up, they might just renew the block for another 30 days. Amazing!

Call me naive, but I would have guessed that "receiving money" would have been a little higher on their priority list.
