I read that you need paypal for this and I cannot use paypal because my husband's bank blocked it before and now my husband won't let me use paypal any more. Last time Paypal did not require that charge to link the credit card but after that happened the bank automatically blocked it and my husband will hit the roof if this happens again because of some game I am playing.
I just want to use the credit card option but I live in Europe. Does any one living in Europe who activated an FFXIV account done so easily without phone calls and the other problems. This is one of the main reasons I have not yet bought this game. I read one thread where this chap said the only time you need to make that phone call is if you want the extra services otherwise the credit card option works easily enough.

They don't use paypal, they use clickandbuy for CC transactions.
"During the registration process we may seek to authenticate your payment details by placing a small amount on your credit/debit card.
This transaction is purely a pre-authorized charge and no funds are taken from your account. After 3-5 working days the charge will be automatically released."
This is the problem if they do this the bank will block the card immediately and my husband will have to get them to unblock it and I will catch hell.
No I definitely cannot play this .Thanks for the link.
My husband works like 12-14 hours a day he does need me to give him an additional headache. He is not a mean person just that I do not want him to have to call the bank. The funny thing is this bank is the bank he works for. They are very sensitive they block the account like crazy for anything suspicious.
It is okay thank you for the help I will not get the game. Before paypal was how I paid for things but since they wanted that verification charge and it triggered a block I cannot use them any more.

I don't understand. They'd block a $.32 charge from Paypal, but let a $12.99 subscription to Japan go through?
When Codemaster was using paypal I tried to renew my LotRO sub after the new charge thing came into effect. The bank blocked the verification charge Paypal made and no charges were allowed until my husband got them to unblock the card and the paypal charge never went through. So the same thing will happen again with the click and buy. That is how the bank operates. I have never gotten a verified paypal account after that incident.

Call ahead to your bank and tell them anything from Paypal is legitimate for a specific date(s).
I will check the shops here in Rome for the card thing. Thanks and it is a credit card.
I cannot make the call he has to and the time it will take me to explain everything to him I might as well not bother him. The game is not worth him having the hassle of calling the bank.
God I feel like I made him out to be an ogre , he is not one. Just gets irritated if this happens again.
I just managed to get under an hour worth of gameplay last night, so I have not seen all that much yet but it sure is pretty! Also the controls don’t seem all that bad.
I will be playing more tonight, hopefully more than an hour heh.
I've yet to get a character above lvl 9 because I keep rerolling race and looks. Still, I managed to figure out crafting and to get a better idea of mining.
I think with this game one has to say to themselves "today I will x" and that becomes your goal. Even if it is just wandering. I say that becuase of the longer travel times or longer craft times.
last night I did some levequests and then decided to just wander around to see what I'd find.
I ended up finding a nice cave/dungeon which seemed relatively easy to explore until I came upon an entirely different creature.
called a "something" gnat. Goop gnat? Well whatever it was it was about as large as I was and sort of hovering. as I was trying to take a screen shot I noticed that it noticed me. Not being too worried as it only conned yellow (what's the worst that could happen) I slowly put my hands to the keyboard and as it one shotted me.
That was pretty good for a laugh.
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
Actually Sovrath, my advice would be to have no goals logging in, otherwise you will just logout disappointed.
I'd also say, to have fun, edit your Chat Filters and filter out how much xp and sp you are getting.
Yes, I suppose that is good advice.
I was more thinking about the mentality of "today i will craft, then levle up "here" then discover "this", etc.
As opposed to "today I think I'll wander, today I'll learn to craft or try to craft, today I'll look into selling.
When I log into a game like LOTRO it is so quick to do things that one becomes used to doing skirmishes, then doing some quests, then perhaps going to x place and wandering then back for a quick crafting, etc.
but with FF XIV it takes longer to do things and I wonder if people who are used to doing many things might get frustrated?
Don't know. But I like your idea of no goals. I think it fits well.
Also, what does "'unofficial' world of Eorzeapedia" mean?

Hmmm. He's either that addicted to it that he's spending all of his spare time in immsering himself in Eorzea, leveling up all the professions he can get his hands on, or he's too shocked by the gameplay hurdles and walls he hits himself against, stunned to posting silence while trying to recover from the traumatic, soul scarring experience.
Ah well, we'll have to wait a few more days to find out, I guess

Sorry guys for no update, I actually did not get any time to play last night because I had go caught up with some work and was far too tired to do anything by the end of it.

Let us know what server.
I'm starting to think I should role on the unofficial role play server as role players always make it a bit more interesting.

I've found the RP servers on any MMORPG to generally be the ones with the most diversity in its community, also with generally a more mature community than other servers. Often there were also a lot of fun player created events that you wouldn't encounter on other servers.

Good luck in your endeavor
Drop the next-gen marketing and people will argue if the game itself has merit.

OP must be addicted something fierce.

You don't need to sign up to them or anything, you sub like any other mmorpg...they just use a 3rd party to do so.
I hope that helped

Buy crystal and pay the bill with them.
It is either click and buy or the paypal option from what I am reading here.

He who keeps his cool best wins.
No they will block everything.

A. I hope you are using a credit card and not a bank card online.
B. ClickAndBuy does do the random charge under 5 dollar to test the card.
C. You can get Crysta by buying game cards at your local megastores.

There are many cool monsters to find in ul'dah but are all red at lvl 22 =/
I managed to see even a version of the bomb monster of final fantasy (Named grenade) but didn't go near it.
Yes, I suppose that is good advice.

Frog, it's been 2 days. Can we have an update whether you're still playing this game? Also a first impression would be nice.
