Hello all, I never thought I'd have a problem like this, I am worried. =\

So I tried logging on like an hour ago, everything was going fine, went to FFXI screen on POL, and when I selected "Play", I got a message saying something like: "You have no content ID for Final Fantasy XI. Please obtain a new content ID or reactivate a cancelled one in order to play the game and/or use the playonline services."

What is this about? I sure as hell didn't delete or cancel my own IDs... when I went to check them, there were none at all, only the expansions were registered, but not my IDs... is this a glitch from the POL service maintenance? Said it was gonna be extended to september 2nd... or might it be a problem with my credit card? Any help is appreciated, I'm having a heart attack lol. ><;
 
Check your credit card... i would bet even money that it expired or was suspended.
 
Was billing already performed this month? I was wanting to reactivate afterwards so I don't pay $13 for like 1-2 days of play..
 
Whoa, Miros, I just saw you on last night. It happened that quick?
 
1st of the month.

Card got rejected.
 
This problem happens a lot. I know this b/c I'm kind of a forum whore, and read alla. 5 or 6 people on there have this problem every month. It's some kind of glitch. You basically just have to re-enter your Credit Card info. The annoying part is that sometimes it will glitch like this before the server maint is over... Which makes it impossible for you to reactivate until it's over. Which means there may be a couple days you aren't able to play. But it's just some kind of glitch.. Nothing to be overly worried about.
 
SE is very punctual about billing you on the 1st, yet ever since I can remember, they've always extended their registration maintenance by 1 to 2 days.
 
Well, I just switched which card they billed and everything is okay now. :) Odd though...the other card had the appropriate funds.
 
First time I got this message years ago, it scared the living hell out of me.

You have to link your content IDs to your PoL handles before you can play and it'll solve that.

***Whew ^^;

Good Luck hehe.
 
lol, phew. Thanks for all your replies, guys.

I switched to another credit card and re-entered the info. Reactivated IDs. It seems to be working fine now. :) Now that was scary. >.>;;
 
I have the same problem, I'll try the solution tomorrow.

Maybe this glitch just happened more often than usual?
 
Yeah this happened to me too this morning, and it happened to my wife a few months back too.

I should note for you that SE will get their money. You will be charged next month, even if its for 10 minutes of play. I highly suggest accepting that or not playing.
 
Yeah, I got hit by this today also. I'm reactivating tomorrow...
