I do not recall hearing this back in the day, but thought I would post this anyway.
I went to play FFXI again for awhile with a few friends, just off and on, and was having problems with my old play online account not letting me in.
I was doing my research and found this incredible link:

You can become a member again after unsubscribing from PlayOnline. If you return to PlayOnline within three months of unsubscribing, you can restart the same service without having to complete the regular registration process. In this case, use the "For PlayOnline Members Only" when launching PlayOnline after a reinstall to log back in using your existing PlayOnline ID and PlayOnline Password. If you return to PlayOnline three months after unsubscribing, you must register a new PlayOnline account. This means you must purchase a new copy of the software to obtain a new set of registration codes. |
Is this legal? That does not sound reasonable, nor does it state anywhere on the box that you must continue to pay or else you'll have to buy a whole new copy of the game -- solely for registration codes (Not to mention I never canceled the playonline crap, I only canceled my content ID for FFXI).
Does anyone else have/had this problem, and if so, were you able to get around it by calling Squenix ? I'm gonna give them a buzz tomorrow, but this seems unacceptable, and possibly close-to illegal to me.
