Thanked 1,553x in 984 Posts Gil: 1,768 Bank: 17,433 Total Gil: 19,201 Donate  | Unusual POL behavior after update I'm not really posting to ask for a solution, but merely to see if I'm the only one with this problem or not.
Today when I tried to login, I first got a POL update. Which was odd, but not altogether uncommon. After that, I tried to login, and was notified that my account had been cancelled due to non-payment. Which would have been fine, but there is plenty of money in my account (enough to pay for it several times over), so I'm not sure what that's about.
My main problem comes when I try to reactivate. I just get a "Now Loading" screen for a minute or two, and then I get a POL error. Nothing in my internet settings has changed from yesterday when I was able to play just fine. And I can play other online games, and access the internet with no problems. So I haven't the slightest idea what could be wrong.
So is anyone else experiencing this, or am I just lucky? |  | ::Quote Selected::  | | | 11-02-2006, 07:37 AM | #2 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Brentwood, CA Posts: 15 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

So I've got another few hours before it'll even be worth it to try again. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 11-02-2006, 07:43 AM | #5 (permalink) | | Senior Veteran Oracle of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 4,416 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 102
Thanked 1,277x in 774 Posts Gil: 2,419 Bank: 79,083 Total Gil: 81,502 Donate | Re: Unusual POL behavior after update Sounds like the two issues are unrelated. The update was to be expected and fix another issue. A billing cycle just started/ended and there's always people who have their cards rejected at the beginning of the month.
As for problems reactivating: Registration Server Maintenance Extension (Nov. 2). Try again in about 3h. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 11-02-2006, 07:44 AM | #6 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Brentwood, CA Posts: 15 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

Edit: Ah crap, I thought I was gonna be the first to point that out; then I waited 6 minutes to make my post.

Thanks for responding though.
Everyone here is so dang helpful, but they all got post-blocked by NT. XD Seriously, thanks everyone who replied with the completely obvious solution that I managed to miss.  | | | ::Quote Selected:: | |
