Resuming Account after a Year

[KoLAddict]

So I'm thinking of coming back for another round with FFXI. I've given it two shots so far, and while I enjoyed it both times, I ended up quitting due to different reasons.

Now I want to come back, my question is, will my character still be there? I never deleted him, I just canceled my subscription so I wouldn't be billed.

Is there a way to check and see if he's still available?

Log in. Reactivate your content ID....if you can. If you can't, then you'll have to contact them and see if there is any way to reactivate:

Log in where? I haven't started playing yet, and am not sure if I will want to if I have to level my guy from scratch again. Do they have a spot on their site somewhere I can check?

...

Start up the game program, log into POL = log in.

Continue to the screen where it has the PLAY button and choose the option below it that says Content ID.

Choose the option REACTIVATE CONTENT ID.

If it lists your characters name then it will allow you to reactivate your ID and you'll be able to play. If you do not want to reactivate and want to think about it, just use the BACK button and exit.

This will require that you have the game installed. Since you didn't really expound on your situation, I do not know if you do or do not have it installed so I am assuming you do. If you do not then use the phone number listed above and see if they'll give you the information you require.

Re: Resuming Account after a Year

Thanks for the info GrandMom, and of course I just checked this to make sure my account/character was there; too reactivate come Feb 1st. Unfortunately it appears that my account isn't there and I need to reactivate it by inputting new CC info, and of course I got hit with the 3-D Secure compliant card, and yeah the card I've used for years of course is not supported.

My bank is on the Mastercard 3-D Secure site as a registered supporter, but I suppose this card being several years old is not, so I need to either get a new card issued or try and contact POL support and see if this can be bypassed a different way.

At least this came to pass with enough time to hopefully get it resolved before I am to return, cause if I had this hit me the day I wanted to log in and play...oh that would not of been pretty. While slightly annoying to do all this, I still wanna play badly...so this won't deter me from getting back into Vana'diel!

The "Return to Vanadiel Campain" is now on all the time so you can use that to get back in if you can't do it by normal means XD

Re: Resuming Account after a Year

Well that was far less painful that I thought it would be, plus SE POL live-chat picked up immediately which is rare. Anyway after confirming my identity with them twice...rofl They updated my account and my character is now available to be resurrected, however I still don't have a 3-D Secure CC yet.

I called my bank and the lady I spoke with had no idea what I was talking about even though they are a registered member of this new service...hehe They're looking into it and plan to call me back, but I'm assuming that since Square-Enix are doing this with FFXI already, it'll definitely be a feature to have compatibility with; for FFXIV too.

I'd suggest looking into this if you have not already!

You can get around that VbV bullshit.

Re: Resuming Account after a Year

Yeah I know about that by using a console, but I only own and play games using a PC.

Re: Resuming Account after a Year

At least ya didn't say skin a dog...I like them more, and my 2 Labs watching/reading this post wiff me would've bit me...rofl

Anyway, no thanks on the 3rd party bypass, I'd rather go through the trouble of doing it legit and making myself and my CCs even more secure...thanks though.

Re: Resuming Account after a Year

my CCs even more secure

(Mhurron just bought a nice silk thong with your CC.)
