FFXI is quitting me

In Soviet MMOs... MMO quits you!

Just got this in the morning:
------------------------------------------------------
Dear Ascule,

Thank you for using the Square Enix Account Management System.

Due to a processing error with your payment method, all continuous options for the following service account have been cancelled. The details are as follows.

Date: 12/30/2011
Payment Method: ClickandBuy Account
Service Account Name: PlayOnline / FINAL FANTASY XI
-------------------------------------------------------

I'm kinda amused by this turn of events. I figured that I'd stay on FFXI for events, especially since Voidwatch actually needs a full alliance and we're having trouble even with full mule turnouts. I was going to stay with FFXI at least until I get a picture of how SWTOR would be like at level 50.

I guess SE made that decision for me. I was dreading having to go through their website and figure out how to suspend the account. Their website is very needlessly complicated, with too many different, unnecessary things. What's an "option service"? How do you activate an account? How do you pay? What is Crysta? ClickAndBuy? Square-Enix Member? Do I need a PlayOnline subscription?

So... anyway, this kinda makes it a lot easier for me since I don't have to login to cancel anymore. I'm still debating whether I should bother trying to reactivate. On one hand, I think the Linkshell probably needs the manpower... maybe... on the other hand, there really isn't that much to do in XI right now except grind through skinner box events.

Meanwhile, in a galaxy far far away...
Photo time!

The Hutts really do have more fun. Girls playing in the fountain at the mall :o
Yay, go go Corso! (Romance is in the game! This is my smuggler alt being seduced by her companion)
Mayday! mayday!
I'll take the droid... that's not in pieces!

You didn't just start playing FFXI again, did you Tal?

If it makes you feel any better, I'm trapped on Bahamut for the next few months. :p
