Square Enix Account Transfer Period Extended

In order to implement payment option improvements, we have extended the transfer cut-off date from the original deadline of August 31 to mid fall 2011 (specific date to be determined). The following improvements will be implemented to the billing system: -  New credit card payment option for Crysta [Available Now] - The ability to specify exactly how much Crysta you want to buy [Early Fall] - New recurring payment credit card options [Mid Fall] Although the transfer period has been extended, please note that players who complete the transfer process prior to August 31, 2011 will be rewarded with a special in-game item for FINAL FANTASY XI.
