Playonline Id Recovery
This weekend I tried to re-sub to Final Fantasy XI. To thisday, I still have uncomfortable flashbacks about the PlayOnline launcher andits steel-toed kicking aimed at my nether regions, but I had resigned myself toweathering a new flurry of attacks in order to participate in stabbing thekneecaps of some Notorious Monsters with a co-worker.
So i recovered the SE ID/Pass and PlayOnline ID/Pass but all characters have been deleted. Not blaming Guildwork directly, but it is the only somewhat fishy thing i have used in my 8 years and this is the first strange activity ive had so take care. Run PlayOnline and let it update. After the update for POL is done and restarted it will ask you if you’re a New User or Existing User. Select “Existing User” and fill in the Member Name with whatever you want, and the PlayOnline ID and password with “1234567” (or, alternatively, whatever you like), and save the settings.

It had been about a year since I had last camped Vana'dielso I was not gobsmacked to discover I had forgotten my password. No worries, Ithought. I can just try the few passwords I have been using for the past 10years for various accounts (MMO, banking, pr0n and etc). It's sure to be one ofthose. However and dramatically, regardless of how many variations of capitalletters and key smashing I tried, my PlayOnline ID would not accept aPlayOnline password. Determined not to be defeated by the recall capacity of myown cerebrum, I hit the FFXI website in order to search for knowledge in adatabase, a knowledge database if you will.
'How do I change my password?'. Hmm, not quite.'A message states that my PlayOnline ID and PlayOnline password arewrong.'. Close, but no cigar. 'How do I purchase a Content ID?'.You're asking me?? Somewhere in the area of 10 Q's and A's concerned with theterm 'password' sat before me, but none would dare own up to offeringhelp in regards to retrieving a forgotten password.
In between bouts of pounding alternative passwordcombinations into the PlayOnline launcher I got around to emailing FFXIcustomer support with my conundrum. 3 full days later and I still have noreply. Backtrack to earlier today, and taking a deep gulp of computer fan-blowndust I took the plunge and dove into the web-based chat program advertised as athird alternative to the knowledge database and email on the PlayOnlinewebsite.
Now, I've been around the virtual block a few times, so I'vedipped my toe in a few and varied chat programs, web-based and otherwise. Butnothing had quite prepared me for the 30 minute wait-fest that followed, aflash of text appearing every 2 minutes letting me know that the chat programwas having errors connecting, as if that were not already apparent. I was aboutto minimize the window into the depths of my monitor's background once againwhen a ray of hope greeted me. 'Hello, this is FFXI TSR Xxxx. Please waita minute while I review your ticket.'. You can take a minute, take adamned leap-minute if you want, has anyone told you how beautiful you lookright now?

Verifying my rightful existence through 6 craftily createdquestions designed to weed out everybody but me, I then waited like a 7-yearold listening for the lunch bell. After a pause between my comments that mademe question whether this TSR was actually trying to talk to several poor foolslike myself at the same time I eventually was presented with a reply, and atbest, closure.

'I'm sorry. This account has been deleted due toinactivity.'
Oh, that's a shame, I thought to myself. Most MMO companiesonly really ever delete low level inactive characters in order to free up space,and many still offer account recovery if you are graced with a caring customerrepresentative. Before the NGE debacle I had re-subbed to SWG briefly and myCreature Handler/Bio Engineer that had been sleeping for over a year was stillthere upon log in, eager to be ganked by rabid durnies once again. Rest inpeace, my little WHM/BLM.
'Ok, well, can I delete my PlayOnline ID and use thePlayOnline registration key (note: essentially the CD key) to create anotheraccount?'
Pause while the TSR talked to another helpless fool.
'I'm sorry. Only one PlayOnline ID may be created foreach PlayOnline registration.'
'So, I can't create another account? Is there some wayI can get a new PlayOnline registration?'
'In order to obtain a new PlayOnline registration youwill effectively have to purchase another copy of FFXI.'
'...'
Sitting there, peering at what was typed before me fromevery sideways, upside-down and inside-out angle, I tried to ponder why mewanting to give a monthly fee to Square-Enix was proving to be so difficult.Looking over at the computer game boxes lining my shelves I mentally checkedoff all the games, besides the apparent FFXI, that allowed me to keep playingit as long as I held the CD key. I arrived at 100%. Before closing the chatprogram and squeezing my dreams of my new Taru-taru RDM /panicing for money inthe middle of Jeuno out of my head, I left the TSR with a helpful tip in thehopes he/she had some super-duper powerful conduit to the upper management.

'You know, you might want to reconsider makingregistration keys one-time use only. I'm sure this needlessly complicated andinane business model has lost you a number of potential customers that havebeen looking to re-subscribe on a whim.'
So, apparently the moral of my little adventure is thatSquare-Enix doesn't want my disposable income. So I ask, is there anybody thatdoes?
