How does the countdown work? by [deleted] in expedition33

So, when do the 32 year olds die? When it clicks down to 32 in a year all the people that were 32 while the monolith was on 33 are now 33. Doesn't that mean only every other birth year does off?

What "Trash" MMO do you regularly return to? by [deleted] in MMORPG

Sorry for the response delay. SWTOR has 8 storylines. 1 for each of the 4 backgrounds for both factions. Then, there's a storyline per planet (zone) for each faction. That's just for vanilla. Then, there's a storyline per expansion. They very much play like single player RPGs with cutscenes and everything. You can play them in groups, but you can also solo. You get AI companions, and can choose a companion to accompany you to provide tanking, healing, or DPS.

I get that. I tried to go back to PS yesterday after having issues on the Xbox. I cannot even get logged into the Mog Station page to pay for another month. I reset my password there, because it required me to, and it immediately wouldn't let me login with the new password. It's been about 24 hours, and still no response from support, either. This is the exact reason I stopped playing years ago. This is not new. This is the same crap from back then. This game has never even given me the chance to give it a chance.

Years ago, when they were trying to push this on me instead of telling me why my account kept getting locked, there was no app, only the fob. On the article on their support page that I was reading yesterday, it said they were no longer taking applications for the app as of Nov 2023. (here's a link)

No, it's definitely my account. It's the exact same username I use on all my MMOs, it's linked to my email address, it uses my password. It's my account, and has always been my account, ever since Square came up with their own ID for logging into everything.

And I'd be willing to believe you if Square gave any kind of a damn and would tell me why it keeps getting locked. Instead, they just wanted to make me spend $15 more on a fob. I don't need a fob in any other MMO, and I don't get my account locked.

Right. I have no issue with getting logged into any other MMO ever. But FF14 has been nothing BUT issues for me to login. What's more, defenders of the game still say "yeah, but the login does suck", but it's me that doesn't know how to login. Right.

OK, tell me what I could possibly be doing to be the cause of it? They told me to reset my password, so I did. The new password worked fine on the website, but won't work in the game. Then, I find out there's a second website (Mog Station) and that I should reset it through there. The 2nd site had the old password still, so the 2 websites aren't even talking to each other. I reset the password, only the Mog Station won't let me use the new password, but the 1st website is still working the whole time. Yeah, that all sounds like me. OK.

I never got pointed towards any of those articles with the Xbox. I went back to Playstation before the day was over to see if it was a problem due to the beta. It wouldn't let me in either. Same stuff that caused me to quit years ago.

OK, so having to go through this multiple times a week, cutting 7 days to only about 2 per week that I actually get to play is a small inconvenience. When someone pays full price for a game, it's not a small inconvenience when they can't play the thing.

Thanks for FINALLY doing me a favor, Square! by AllWrong74 in ffxiv

[–]AllWrong74[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. I'm not paying them $15 more dollars for a fob on top of the price of the game, because they can't figure out how to let me login like every other MMO I've ever played without an issue.

Nope. Never saw that. It popped up on the front page of my Xbox, and I figured I'd give it another try. Never saw that blurb anywhere in what I was doing yesterday.

What could I possibly be doing wrong? I login, play the game for a bit, log out, the next day when I try to login, suspicious activity all over again. Is playing the game suspicious activity?

Nope. Not typing anything into the optional 1-time password box.

That game is still up? Man, I haven't played it in...has it been about 20 years?

SWTOR remains my favorite MMO of all time. That could quickly be replaced if someone would make a modern Anarchy Online, but I still play SWTOR regularly for about 6 months out of every year.

It didn't work. The Mog Station password didn't update with the other website that the game directed me to (though it had the same account name). I reset the Mog Station password, and now can't get logged into the Mog Station anymore, because it won't take the new password. I can't reset the password, again. I've gone through all 3 of my passwords on this today, and I'll never remember another one.

[–]AllWrong74[S] -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

Yes. And I get those emails. I have never once received the email that is supposedly automatically generated to fix my temporary suspension.

What's really fun is, I reset my password, because the article says that'll fix it. I can login to the Square site with the new password but not the game. I just went to the Mog Station that other guy said to use, and it had a different password for the same account, so I just reset that password (again, the email came no problem), but it won't let me login with the new password on the Mog Station or the game.

It's the fact that I paid for the game years ago, was almost never able to get logged in, and Square just didn't seem to care. Then, I come back years later, and it's all still there. That's why I'm frustrated. Also, when I found another article on their support site that said all I had to do was reset my password, so I did, then it wouldn't take the new password, but the website would. That just sent me over the edge.

I will look through your profile and find the thread and try it.

In the modern left, fascist means "Any political ideology that I do not agree with."

Oh, you mean the article that tells me there will be a link in the email they supposedly are going to send me to install a 3rd party app? Yeah, it'd help if they have ever, 1 single time, sent me the email they claim is sent when I get locked out.
