As for servers, several of the servers were just merged with one another. I'm sure any one of those would have a larger influx of people.

The following is a list of worlds designated for the World Merge:

Kujata..............->...Valefor
Remora.............->...Leviathan
Midgardsormr......->...Quetzarcoatl

* Other worlds will not be affected.

Re: just got ffxi

well i am out of luck for now. pol wouldnt let me use my CC so i went to buy a green dot card... got a nice card is invalid error. looked on the pol support site and got a ticket # but i have to wait until tomorrow to call. can i use my mastercard without SC if i do it over the phone?

i saw something on allakhazam about bypassing the 3d secure stuff but it doesnt look like it works for people making a new account and i dont know anybody that plays on a 360 or ps2. sold my old ps2 with the hdd years ago.

Re: just got ffxi

sometimes you get the guy who will set it up, sometimes you won't SE support staff is about 70% retards, and 30% semi retards. Just call until you get a semi retarded person.

Re: just got ffxi

Creating account wihtout a "3D Secure" CC is a frequent scenario for SE; they even have a "knowledge base" article for it. Pretty sure the support personal will be able to assist you during the regular business hour.

KB Article: 54216
KB Category: [Account/Billing]
KB Sub-category: [Account Creation]
Creating an account using a non-3D Secure credit card.

If you received an error message while creating a new account which states that you need to use a 3D Secure eligible credit card, the SQUARE ENIX Support Center will be happy to assist you. To begin this process, please click on the “Additional Assistance” button below and you will be provided with a form that must be completed. After doing so you will be given a ticket number and the phone number in order to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.

Important Note: To qualify for this assistance you must reside within the United States or Canada, have a PC version of the FINAL FANTASY XI software and be prepared to provide billing information to our agents over the phone.

Re: just got ffxi

i just talked to them. ended up going to the bank to see about the mastercard securecode thing. the guy i talked to had no idea what i was talking about.. got home called again and got transferred to a supervisor to make my account there. super excited, then for some reason the card i JUST used is declined. im on the verge of putting this stupid ffxi cd under my tired and destroying it.. can i use a prepaid visa card or gift card to register a new POL account? or is that just for monthly payments?

[TheGrandMom]

Re: just got ffxi

The CC info is for the monthly payments, POL is free. I used a prepaid Visa/MC CC to play but that was before the securecode stuff.

[Kaasmi]

Re: just got ffxi

like the green dot reloadable debit card? or just a visa/mastercard gift card?

this is so frustrating i have been reading stickies for days now xD

tried the secure 3d bypass thing. apparently it only works if youre updating payment info, not creating a new account.
this might be a stretch, but when you look at billing info in POL does it only show the last 4 digits of your card? if so, would it be possible for somebody to make a pol account for me, tell me the info, then i get on and do the bypass thing to update payment info to my card?

Re: just got ffxi

after all this trouble and this retarded ass 3d secure stuff i am done with square enix. i just want the free month to mess around now. nobody i have talked to has ever heard of verified by visa or secure code...

[Kaasmi]

Re: just got ffxi

gave it one more try with a new card.. error 5311. sat on hold for an hour before i finally got to talk to somebody. he told me to just try again. told him thats what every single post has said and that it hasnt worked for anybody. asked if there was a way to get a refund and he said that requires a whole lot of other procedures he would have to do.. god forbid CS actually does some fucking work. for gods sake this is the most retarded thing i have ever seen in my entire life.
