Walk of Echoes

It might be good to update the blog while waiting to Walk of Echoes #9 to be ready.
Summoner rules there and it's nice to be one finally. One has the impression to actually be useful.

It's one minute and everybody is buffing. Let's go to fight!

- Update -

Fought and won. Only japanese players seem to be still interested in WoE.

Anyway this is just a quick reminder to say that yes I am still around, I am still playing.
Working on COR +2 and BLM +2 armors.

Doing a lot of quests and missions and in dire need of Nyzul Isle floor 100.
Drop me a line if you're on Cerberus and fancy some mission fun :)

More updates to come for the next weeks. Promised.

Square Enix total failure

We all know that Square Enix customer service is not the best, we all know that their account/polID handling has always been quite disappointing.

So it will come with no surprise the fact that, for some mysterious reasons, my character and my content ID are gone and at the moment I cannot play.

The issue started earlier this week when I tried to do the transfer in order to obtain the staff of 1 week warp. The Square Enix account refused to be linked citing the fact the billing cycle was yet to start and suggest to wait next month.

I contacted promptly the Support and they told me it's a known problem and that I should be a able to transfer in a couple of day or the beginning of august.

I waited a few day more, knowing that I should wait for next month - effectively losing the possibility to have the item but never-mind.

It came then august and I tried to do the transfer but the system prompted me with the fact that I had to pay outstanding fees (what fees since I paid july already?) . Never-mind then, let's pay this fees.

After paying the fees I did the transfer, reactivated the account and the characters and also bought some crysta to pay for august.

Imagine my surprise when - after all this - I tried to log in and I got the message

You have no Content ID for FFXI. Pleas obtain a new Content ID or reactivate a cancelled one in order to play the game and/or to use the Playonline service

Of course my sudden reaction - beside the rage -was to contact SE Support. Which I did through the chat system. The wait was almost 4 hours... every 20 or 30 minutes after being in queue, the chat would close in my face saying that there was no available agent.

After maybe the fifth or sixth time I tried to access the chat, finally I could speak with an agent.

He told me that this is a known problem and that nothing could be done. He didn't even apologize and he closed the chat on me before I could ask him further questions about this problem.

After spending like 4/5 hours of my time waiting for this lousy answer, I was a bit frustrated so I pick up the phone and I called Square Enix US to see what I should do.

Again I stayed on the phone waiting for an agent to answer me 1:38 minutes but then I gave up, I was sleepy and tired and very angry - not the best state in which to call a customer service.

Today I woke up and my crysta balance was billed for the month of august, but yet there is no content ID to play even if the account is activated and the characters are active too.

I can't even post in the forums due to the fact that I don't have anymore a content ID and characters to post with.

Something that should have been smooth and simple became as usual a nightmare.

Thank you again Square Enix for your wonderful Service.

Please, my dear friends out there, pray for me. I have a terrible feeling this won't go very well :(

Long time no see

Ok, let's face it, it's time to come back.

Although I never really left, the last post is quite a long time ago.
A lot of things to say but also a lot of time for it. I just want to let you know that I am indeed back and I am still trying to find my way, always lost wherever I go.

There's so much to discuss reall - Abyssea, the new armors, my BLM - but for the moment I will keep it short.
FFXI is still a wonderful game and I am glad I am back.
This time might be for good!
:)
