How to buy Arcs/Arks Cash (AC) (Doctor Jim's definitive guide)

[Jim]

DON'T SHARE WEBMONEY CODES BETWEEN MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS. SHARING CODES MAY GET YOUR ACCOUNT(S) BANNED!

YOU SHOULD ONLY USE THIS METHOD IF PURCHASING AC THROUGH PSO2ES (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=218485) IS NOT AN OPTION!

★★★ ★★★ ★★★

DISCLAIMER: Read this spoiler box first
Sega's terms of service imply that people who live outside of Japan are not allowed to play PSO2.

Hey, guys. Jim here.

I feel like there isn't a guide out there that presents a reliable and COMPLETE method for purchasing AC, so I'm going to make the guide to end all guides. If you have access to the internet and half a brain, you CAN and WILL get AC with my guide.

This tutorial only definitely works for US residents, but I'm confident other countries will be fine as well. Please reply with your success stories! If you get stuck, reply here. PLEASE DON'T CONTACT ME DIRECTLY UNTIL YOU POST IN THIS THREAD.

•You do NOT need to falsify information in this tutorial.
•All of the billing info you enter will (or at least can) be correct and legal.
•You do NOT need to worry about whether your debit card will be accepted.
•You WILL have AC and be awesome because of this tutorial.

Here's a list of common things you will need to complete my tutorial...

1. Google Chrome
(Optional, but it makes the process easier... Actually, it makes everything easier. Why haven't you switched yet?)

2. An eBay account
(Recommended, but also optional depending on which method you choose.)

3. A working, confirmed Paypal account

4. About an hour of time to kill

5. SNACKS

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

LET'S BEGIN!

★ STEP 1: Choosing an address ★

There are two methods to choosing an address to register with:
(You only need to use one of these methods!)

•1: The easy method•
Sega doesn't appear to check the validity of your address, so if you're feeling lazy, you should be able to use any Japanese address you want. I've heard of more than one person using the Sega Japanese Headquarters address to register. (Shown below)

Postal code: 〒140-8583
Address: 東京都品川区東品川1丁目39番9号カナルサイドビル
Phone number: +81 3-5736-7111

•2: The Tenso method•
Tons of PSO2 players are using random addresses, so this method probably isn't necessary. It's just the way I did it, PERSONALLY.

What is Tenso, you ask? It's a forwarding service. They provide you with a REAL, LEGAL Japanese shipping address, FOR FREE. You can have things shipped there, and once Tenso receives them they'll charge you a fee to ship it to the states. Now, you're not going to actually ship anything to the address during this tutorial, but you ARE going to make one so you can register with it on Sega's website. [spoiler](Tenso's service is great, for the record. I definitely recommend them for importing Japanese goods.) During the registration process, you'll be asked how you want to pay for Tenso's service. Since you're probably not going to actually use Tenso's service right this moment, select Paypal, because this option doesn't require you to fill out payment info right away. (Credit card DOES require you to fill out payment info, so don't use that)

Click here (http://www.tenso.com/en/) to visit the English Tenso page. Create an account there using all of your real information. When you're able to access the "My Page" screen and see your address, you're done! Just keep that tab open for later.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

★ STEP 2: Selecting a Japanese alias ★

If you know how to, feel free to create your own Japanese alias. If you're feeling lazy, or don't know how, simply use the one included below.

The names are shown as Surname/Given name. This is the order you will enter them in the registration form.

Romaji: (This is just for your reference. You will not use Romaji during registration.)
Mikami/Kiyohiko

Kanji:
三上/清彦

Katakana: (phonetic)
ミカミ / キヨヒコ

Also, here's a backup alias, just in case you need more than one:

[SPOILER-BOX](Listed surname/given_name)

Romaji: (This is just for your reference. You will not use Romaji during registration.)
Shin / Shouji

Kanji:
新 / 庄司

Katakana (phonetic):
シン / ショウジ[/SPOILER-BOX]


You'll use your Japanese alias in the next step.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

★ STEP 3: Registering your address with Sega ★

Yes, you're finally ready to register with Sega. This tutorial assumes you already have a SEGA ID. If you don't, check out AIDA's PSO2 registration guide (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=210236). It's very helpful. Make sure you have your Japanese address/Tenso account handy. The worst part here is doing the Japanese CAPTCHA. To do it, you have to open the Wikipedia page on Hiragana and scroll down to the first table of characters. Pay close attention to details so you don't mix up characters like ぬ(nu) and め(me). If you get stuck, just refresh the page for a new CAPTCHA. (Getting it wrong won't always give you a new one) To help you get used to solving these, I have color-coded the solution in the screenshot.

Click here for the SEGA AC Purchase login page (https://cha.isao.net/profile_oem/OEMLogin.php?product_name=pso2)

Click here for "Hiragana" on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiragana)

Also, here's Syklo's guide to defeating kana CAPTCHAs (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203925)

3114

Once you defeat the CAPTCHA, you'll need to register your address with SEGA. I don't remember exactly how to register it manually, but if try to buy AC it'll automatically take you to the registration screen. If the website never stops you and asks for an address, don't worry, you're good! Here's the Sega account info screen with each field explained: (If you're not using a Tenso account, just ignore the image and paste in the postal code and address you have chosen.)

★ STEP 4: SO CLOSE! Getting your WebMoney voucher code ★

Ok, there are many ways to do this. Feel free to Google it. I have added funds successfully through 2 different methods. Both methods use Paypal as the form of payment, so your money will be protected from fraud, but always be careful when you're buying stuff online. Especially foreign stuff.

Be aware of how much WebMoney you're going to need...

1 WebMoney point = 1 Yen = 1 AC in PSO2

Simple, right? This includes tax and everything!

•Method 1•
Another method is to buy from SuTo Corp here (http://www.sutocorp.com/japanwebmoney/). You pay for your WebMoney code using Paypal, and once your order processes, they E-mail you asking for a scan of your ID or a bill showing your name and address. (I took a snap with my 7MP phone and it worked fine) If you use your ID, be sure to black out the ID# and expiration date. They ONLY need the picture of your ugly mug, name, and address. This method should get you your Webmoney code in 6 or 8 hours. NOTE: Sometimes Suto sells out of codes. If they are sold out, they'll give you the option of getting refunded or waiting until they restock. (Usually 24 hours)

•Method 2 (will cost a little more, but involves less headache)•
If you search eBay for "WebMoney", you can buy it pretty easily. I've used this method several times and usually end up paying about $68 for a 5,000 point code or $135 for a 10,000 point code.

The code will be in a 16-character alphanumeric format. Example: a1b2 c3d4 e5f6 g7h8

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

★ STEP 5: AC AT LAST! ★

1. Go back to the Sega Purchase screen here (https://cha.isao.net/profile_oem/OEMLogin.php?product_name=pso2) and click on "Cash Purchase ARCS (AC)"

2. Choose how much Arks Cash you want to buy (again 1 AC = 1 WebMoney; tax included) and choose "WebMoney" as the payment option.

3. Once you make your selection, you'll be taken to the WebMoney checkout page pictured below. (Use lower menu shown in the image. The upper menu is only for people who have WebMoney accounts.) This will deduct your purchase from the voucher code, which can be reused. (EG: If you use a 5,000 point code to buy 3,000 AC, the code will have 2,000 points left on it and can be used again in the future. DO NOT USE THE SAME CODE ON MORE THAN ONE ACCOUNT. Sega are now banning people for this.)
2838
When you see a flashing, orange box, your AC is already waiting for you in PSO2!!!



THAT'S IT! YOU'RE DONE!

ARCHIVED UPDATE: Thanks, *`*jill*`*, for the tip about using AmEx prepaid cards. However, it has been confirmed that AmEx no longer works. Bummer.

ARCHIVED UPDATE: Rhedrimond pointed out that you can use your English name for the Kanji and then convert your English name into kana using Google Translate. This method does not seem to work anymore.

As a heads up, the Sega page DOES accept English names for the first part. I just used full-width alphanumeric to enter my name in English, then translated it into kana for the second part. An alias is not needed.

Interesting. My Visa debit card I got from my employer wouldn't go through, and the ensuing research resulted in this tut. I'll have to try one of those though. That would be very convenient. Plus, taking the middle man out would save money. Edited, credited. Thanks!

[Ryoma_cast]

this thread should be stickied. i was able to set up my tenso account, then webmoney, then buy webmoney points from the seller mentioned on ebay. he was fast and reliable as well.

[LionHeart-]

Took me most of the night + other things, I've manage to buy some ducking AC. It 6am in the morning, so apologies for the sloppy work beneath me, I am writing it out in memory.

1. http://www.cn-usa.com/?cmd=welcome
2. Register for an account and follow the procedures for it.
3. http://www.cn-usa.com/?cmd=buy&loc=193646 or search for 'Webmoney'.
4. For example: http://www.cn-usa.com/?cmd=_sale&item=Webmoney1000 Then where it says 'Select payment method' I choose 'Paypal checkout'
5. Pay it through PayPal and it all should be good, for now...
6. Check your email address that you registered Paypal / CN-USA or both (I used two different ones.) There should be a message showing a screenshot of your 'Webmoney' with the 16x code with it. This is shown via email or your CN-USA account.
7. I'm not sure if this is for buying webmoney or just to use/have money on your CN-USA but you 'may' have to validate your account. A message would of been sent via email or on CN-USA. I used the Paypal one and the phone activation (You don't talk to anyone, a automated voice just says a 4 number digit :]).
8. After you've done tying all the loose ends (I hope), time to get some AC!!!!
9. https://cha.isao.net/profile_oem/OEMLogin.php?product_name=pso2 and http://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/hiragana.htm
10. Once you've logged in. Choose 'webmoney' within the 'Payment method'. After certain number of 'next's'... You'll be directed to webmoney website, where you will have to input that 16x digital, numeral code you got given to you via email/CN-USA. A confirmation will concur that it will work.
11. That's about it, I hope it helps and congratulations on getting some AC!

Now I can go to bed! (^__________^; *Thinking.... Why didn't I buy the 2000wm instead of 1000wm >_____<'';*

I'd like to add that if you bought the 2000 WM one, you'd be given a message on how you're over the limit of your purchase allowance and would need to use other validation methods as the ones they list aren't enough.. (like sutocorp they ask you to take a picture of your bill statement/photo ID or credit card with the 8 first digits blocked out) to get the "maximum purchase limit". Took me about 4-5 hours to get my WM code from them.

I'm not sure if this applies to other payment methods as I used google wallet.

[Darki]

I've been using CN-USA, and you do get the codes instantly once you go through the validation process. You don't even need to have a WM account, so for me it's a much easier method to buy AC.

[Silver Crow]

Has anyone tried using Liberty-Rise payment method on SuTo corp?

[Jim]

this thread should be stickied. i was able to set up my tenso account, then webmoney, then buy webmoney points from the seller mentioned on ebay. he was fast and reliable as well.

Thanks for the input! Knowing that this thread helped at least one person makes writing it worth the time and effort it took.

[Bigsten]

Great guide, but good luck to you all with that bloody jp capcha:-o the charactors are so messed up its almost impossible to match them up!!

[Gany]

For the capcha just use this software keyboard and copy/paste the hiragana (yes they changed it from Katakana to Hiragana, and there's also a time limit) into the box.

Link: http://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/hiragana.htm

This makes entering the capcha MUCH easier.

Is this guide still applicable for buying AC?

It's been like 6 months since I made it, but most of the information is still valid. The only thing in it I can think of that is wrong is that the CAPTCHA uses Katakana now instead of Hiragana. (Or rather, WAS wrong because I just updated it.)

Give it a try. If you have trouble, feel free to PM me. I'm on here all the time.

[Nikoshae]

I'm a little nervous about the whole captcha thing ... took me quite a while just to get an account together D:

[Jim]

The people on this forum are very helpful. If you have a hard time with the CAPTCHA, even after reading the thread I have linked in the OP (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203925), you can probably just share the CAPTCHA image under the Quick Questions thread (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=195866) and see if someone will solve it for you.

Still, always try to get better at doing them yourself. Even I have to try 2 or 3 times once in a while, so don't get discouraged!

[Blackheart521]

I think this would be applicable to this thread, If I took a screencap of a bank statement on my bank account's website do you think it would count as my proof for SuToCorp? ^^;

[Jim]

I think this would be applicable to this thread, If I took a screencap of a bank statement on my bank account's website do you think it would count as my proof for SuToCorp? ^^;

Yes, that's definitely relevant to this thread.

Honestly, I don't know. I don't remember what the website says you have to do to prove your identity. I just remember that taking a snap of my ID and blotting out the actual license # was the easiest method for me. If you have a cell phone and a photo Id, it's the only way to fly.

[Nikoshae]

So, can I just get a pre-paid AMEX to use for it? I did want to get Premium to try out for 30 days. My main goal is getting the Blitz Ace costume lol ... whether through the AC shop chances (gatcha?) or by eventually affording one someone else happened upon lol ... but yeah. AMEX works, yes?

Off track here a bit but...Honestly, it's much easier to get a few hundred thousand Meseta than getting costumes in the AC Scratch that you want... just saying, plus not sure if I'm right on this or not but I don't think you can get Blitz Ace in the AC Scratch at the moment (That's Afin's outfit right?) ^^;

AmEx is rumored to work. But only the kind you order online that actually has your name on it (https://www.americanexpress.com/us/content/prepaid/american-express-prepaid-card/home.html). I have one now, so I'll probably be trying it out before Monday. Gotta get my lazy ass out and buy a refill card for it. haha

You should never aim to get anything you actually want from the AC scratch. It should be used to get stuff you can sell in your player shop. (so obviously, premium is needed) Then, you can use the millions of Meseta you earn to buy the stuff you want. You're paying 200 yen for a random item from this list (http://pso2.jp/players/catalog/scratch/ac/20130123/), and the chances of getting anything you actually like are abysmal. haha

[Jim]

Turns out I'm going out tonight. I'll get a Green Dot MoneyPak and load my AmEx while I'm out. I'll post an update tomorrow night.

Don't bother, they stopped taking AMEX a while back so it's not going to work.

YEAYUUUH!

[Nikoshae]

So, I have webmoney. I log in to my Sega account, go to purchase AC, and I'm confronted by a page asking me to put in my address, phone number, and so on ... as well as my name in katakana. I have a feeling this is where Tenso steps in, and I took care of that, but I don't understand the address. I fear inputting this incorrectly, and Sega suspending my account or something.

Also, how do I make katakana of my name? I didn't quite understand the original instructions.

[Nikoshae]

I figured out an alias, got the katakana for it ... everything looked fine on that page ... but when I go to proceed (the bottom left button) I get this error:

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s180/Eternamente926/error.png

And I cannot translate it. What does it mean?

Edit: I think I figured it out. I was putting my name in English in the first two boxes. I need a Kanji alias, but ... I don't know how to make one ~_~;;

[kabutozero]

so is this the easiest method right now of charging AC? I don't like that verify nuisance , seems too much complicated , but I need a 30 day shop pass D:

[Ichipoo]

So I tried purchasing Webmoney from SuToCorp three times already and they keep refunding my orders because my PayPal is "unverified." Don't know how much information I can put in it to be verified as I already put in my full name, address and Credit Card information in it. I even sent them a picture of my ID with my address. =\

[Ichipoo]

Yes it does, I think the reason why my PayPal is still considered "unverified" is because I haven't linked my bank account to it yet, I've only linked it to my credit and debit cards, yet that isn't enough?

[Terrence]

You have to let Paypal take a small amount of money from you and once you receive your statement, a code next to Paypal withdrawal has to be copied on your Paypal account to verify/certify your account (you're refunded shortly after, of course) !

[PucasKitten]

Thank you for the guide :) I mixed this guide with another guide and it worked awesome! i used cna-usa and got the code in seconds after going through the verification process.

[Maverickhey]

I was trying to purchase Webmoney through Sutocorp, but I want to use a visa gift card. Paypal is lame and doesn't actually let you use gift cards... for anything really, so I was wondering if there was any methods I could use to make this work in my favor. Answers appreciated.

[Alisha]

try cn-usa and use google checkout?

Thanks for the guide X3 used SutoCorp, had to mail them 2 webcam shots of some letters I got with my name/address on them, but after that, they took my paypal twice now with no issues and gave me the codes like within an hour <3

[Vintasticvin]

Both methods worked and currently waiting for my sutocorp voucher code to come in.... once you buy AC you just cant stop T_T

[Sara-hime]

ok im trying this method but it says i have to verify but the site links to go to the verification pages wont work someone help me plz.

I had trouble with the verification links, but just sent them a "increase my spending limit" message on Live support and it was increased an hour and a half later. Now I didn't use Tenso, so I'm kinda stuck on using an address for Sega's registration page after choosing Webmoney. ^^;

[Du1337]

Since April 1st it is asking for this Proof of Identity stuff? Anyone known with this?
And that Webmoney picture is diff than the new site... But it worked.

I am at the Purchase page and I really dont know what I am doing wrong... Rpolly something with those stupid names in both styles...

This is what it gives me.
Number of characters in the last name is invalid

that action is obligated? and is that the reason why the purchasr page doenst work?
Im kinda stuck right now... Anyone that made it work, can he or she get on this thread?

[Doomlion]

So I just tried to buy the money from SuTo, and even though they had taken my money, I got refunded for whatever reason. They didn't explain why in the e-mail. Any ideas why?

[Zaven]

Hello, there are two reasons for that, that i can think of.

The first being stock rupture, wich is probably not the case because i bought a code last night.

The other one is that if you never sent them your IDscan , they will refund the money and send you an email asking you to send the IDscan then do an order again.

Have you been asked for an IDscan, is this your first purchase at SuToCorp?
In any case, the guy is very understanding and you should have no problem getting through this, so no worries.


Edit : I'm curious about the Email, it just says "we refunded your paiment" and that's it? Never got something like that from them and i use them for a year now :/

Edit : Oh, and don't hesitate to contact him. He WILL answer to you, he always does. Let me get the address for you just in case but you can just hit reply on your email.

Edit : [email protected]

Keep us informed please.


---------------------------------------


Edit : This is a mail i received a long time ago.

Konichiwa Zaven,

Thank you for your email.

Please resend your scanned ID using your REGISTERED PAYPAL EMAIL.

Thank you again and looking forward to hear from you.
--------------------------------------------------
Best regards
SuToCorp Customer Service

So if you DID send an ID but not from your paypal email but from a different address (like you have an adress for paiment and an address for gaming), then that too could be a reason for your refund.

[Doomlion]

I didn't get any e-mail to send them an ID. Do I just send it to some e-mail address?

[Zaven]

No, i suggest that you simply ask them what is happening. Waiting for an answer is not something enjoyable but again, they will tell you why you got refund.

I'm sorry but i don't think you can gain time by doing something before asking them what is happening. Sending the ID might speed up the thing if that's the reason but i can't recommand someone to send his IDscan just like that if it is not asked.
Also, once they will answer to you, i'm pretty sure things will go very fast because that is just how they work. Well, it always has in my case. I waited for them to get my email, but then we could fix the issue right away (like when i sent my ID card because they asked, i then got my code right away).

Good luck and keep us informed.


Edit : you have a verified paypal account right? otherwise you would have tell me. I'm talking specificaly about the part when paypal charges you a dollar or two (can't remember) then refunds it, this is done for security check. The thing is, THIS process from paypal can take a few days, because you have to check the paiment on your bank account and there will be a code to type on the paypal site. If you never done this, that could be the reason.
If i'm not wrong, that is the definition of a verified paypal account and sutocorp is strict on this point, you need a verified account. Although, i'm not sure the paiment would have been made in the first place if that was the problem, but im not sure about that.

Edit : Send your mail to : [email protected]

[Doomlion]

Alright, welp, I'm trying again. How quickly am I supposed to get the e-mail asking for confirmation of ID?

[Crimson Exile]

Alright, welp, I'm trying again. How quickly am I supposed to get the e-mail asking for confirmation of ID?
Cn-usa takes like 24 hours to confirm you and get webmoney. I have used it 2 times and got a total of 5000AC

[Doomlion]

Well, they gave me the refund within like... 6 hours last time. I didn't get an e-mail asking for ID that time.

I checked my bank account, and money was taken out for it both times, which means that the payment went through. So I'm not sure what's wrong.

[Du1337]

I give up... dangit...

Numbers of character last name is invalid, how can I fix this?

I tried my first and last name and changed them around but it doenst work...

I use Google Checkout and it takes from a few seconds to an hour to receive my code.

[Rololf]

Um...I can't create a Tenso account. <.<
On the ToS page it keeps giving me the "Service not available". Help please...

Edit: switched to Japan language and it's fine, except the whole page is in Japanese ofc. @_@

[.Jack]

I use Google Checkout and it takes from a few seconds to an hour to receive my code.

I just refresh (once or twice) that link you get once the payment is complete. That gives me the code instantly.

[Rende]

not sure if it is allowed here but u can pm me if you need AC codes. transaction through paypal. rates are on par if not lower than sutocorp. just offering this to people who dont want to go through the hassle of confirming id and making jap address etc

[.Jack]

How can you skip the making up the "jap address" part with this? As far as I know it is required in the SEGA website.

[Rende]

oh yeah, i made a mistake. yes the jap address is still required i guess

[.Jack]

I was wondering if there was a change made that I was not aware of. Alrighty then. :-)

[Rololf]

Ordered 2000 WebMoney Point from SutoCorp...then got refunded instantly. @_@
They said my Paypal is unverified, which I'm sure mine is verified from a long time ago...anyway sent them an email to ask about this...
Why everything have to be so hard? D:

[moorebounce]

You still have to fill out your info for Sega on the ID you plan to add AC to. So you still have to make up a Japanese address and phone number.

[Rende]

Yes I made a mistake, you will only b bypass the sutocorp confirmation. I will make a simple order form soon for people who want to buy from me since I have received quite many pms expressing interest.

[doomdragon83]

I placed an order with Sutocorp, do I need to send my photo to them or do I wait until I get an email from them? They already sent me an email stating that my order status is paid but I haven't gotten anything else yet.

EDIT: Nevermind, they sent me another email asking for my ID.
EDIT: Finally got AC, all thanks to this guide and posts, thanks!

[ukhenry]

well ive just orderd 3000 web money lets see how it goes this guide helped thanks just had to use my head a little now lets see how long it takes for them to get me the code.

[ukhenry]

Silly me my paypal wasn't verified did not take them long to reply and refund my payment, sorted it out now and doing it again

[Pyrii]

suto seem to refuse to sell 10,000 webmoney even though they list a price, and when I e-mailed them essentially their reply boiled down to "Deal with it"

I really wish there were more TRUSTABLE options and at decent prices, CN-USA is awful for price and trust (I've used them in the past, when I had problems they just didn't care). Sutocorp seems to be the same, just cheaper because you're paying directly in yen.

I haven't really encountered a problem with sutocorp; they did run out of codes yesterday and they emailed me asking if I want a refund or if I was willing to wait, since I spend the weekdays at work anyway, I didn't mind waiting it out. I got back home from work tonight and got the email with the codes so yeah if anything just buy 5000 points increments instead.Also, Paypal converts the Yen to your currency, I paid about $59 for my latest purchase.

[Du1337]

Is there anyone that made it work in this last month? Please holla... I really failed on this but I really want to make this work...

I made a Tenso and a Webmoney account. I gt stuck at the Alias part.. I really dont get it... I clicked where I need to fill in my name in both Japanese writings... Wich keeps failing.

[BlankM]

I used the example name on the page and the address of SEGA HQ. Had no problems getting AC.

[Pinocchio]

EDIT : i found the solution myself , it was a mistake with the adress , i got my AC now ^^

[Du1337]

OK IT WORKED!!!

IT WAS HARD... DANG... BUT

If u really cant make it work. Send me and email [email protected]

I will get on MSN with u or something and make it work.

[Yarika_JPN]

Hi everyone,

Im new on this forum, actually read it every day but new account owner.

Im a Canadian in Japan. Living here for now 7 years.
I can speak English, French and Japanese.

So I was interested now to offer my help to anybody who wants to get AC or WebMoney.
There are many places where they sell Webmoney to foreigner, but some are expensive and some got long annoying verification procedure... hard to choose where to buy.

And on top of that nowadays fraud are common on internet.

If you need help to navigate in that, please PM or e-mail me!

My profile also got information about me and include my website.

Regards,

[kabutozero]

hmm I checked your ebay store and your webmoney rates are almost the same as cn usa

2000 wm cn usa = 24 euro
2000 wm in your shop = 23 euro

it's not really much of a difference is it? , and supposedly cn usa is the most expensive

[Shyral]

To the OP:

Thanks a bunch for this guide. It helped me complete my first AC purchase today!

[Magicbob]

Has anyone verified The American Express Prepaid Card yet?
Also on Tenso, on the My Page It shows:

"From 1st April 2013 Japanese law has changed to require all forwarding companies such as Tenso.com to obtain proof of identity from their users. The legislation detailing these changes is known as the 'Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds'."

Will this affect anything or do I just ignore it?

[Maronji]

I make a tenso account yesturday and bought some webmoney and had no problem redeeming it and using that address for my sega account. I did not give them an ID either. I think you need to give them an ID if you are going to buy something to get it shipped there. However you do need to give an ID for sutocorp for buying webmoney.

Thanks for the guide OP.

[xxmadplayerxx]

Great Guide !

[Magicbob]

So I'm just now getting around to posting about it, but I DID get t to go through. Just to clarify since this guide is a bit outdated. I'll put up all the steps on this one that I used and that were relevant to my method that I used to get AC.

THIS METHOD ALSO USES PAYPAL, SO IF YOU HAVE ONE, MAKE SURE YOU'RE CARD/ACCOUNT IS VERIFIED! OTHERWISE IT WILL TAKE AWHILE TO RECEIVE THE AC.

1.) Make a Tenso Account, this is definitely needed to use on the PSO website once you log in to purchase the AC.

2.) You'll need an Account on CN-USA as well.
---> http://www.cn-usa.com/?cmd=welcome

3.) After making an account on CN-USA you can either search "Webmoney" or just click here: http://www.cn-usa.com/?cmd=buy&loc=193646

4.) After purchasing WebMoney using Paypal, You should eventually get an email providing you with the Pin Number to the WebMoney you just bought.

5.) 9. Now for the hard part.... Time to actually get into the PSO Website... https://cha.isao.net/profile_oem/OEM...duct_name=pso2
And here for the Capcha: http://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/hiragana.htm

6.) Don't forget to get a JP alias, which is explained in the main post on Page 1.

7.) Once you've logged in. Choose 'webmoney' within the 'Payment method'. After certain number of 'next's'... You'll be directed to webmoney website, where you will have to input that 16x digital, numeral code you got given to you via email/CN-USA. A confirmation will concur that it will work.

8.) That should be it! Enjoy your Premium/Outfits/Storage Space/Ect.

I Myself have confirmed this method to work. It may be different for countries outside of the US. Thanks to LionHeart- for a lot of the steps I used. I just added a couple of them that he didn't include. Have fun guys, hope this helped, at least a little bit.

To make things a bit easier, just checkout using google pay which takes most credit card no matter where you're from, AFAIK. There's no need to have a webmoney or tenso account when you pay with google. Use that code directly in the SEGA site to add AC into your account.

If it's your first time buying from CN you will have to do some sort of verification. IIRC, they'll send you an automated phone call or text with a pin number. Once you do that, you should be good to go and have your code in a matter of minutes.

You'll need a tenso account info to register WebMoney regardless as Sega needs that info for billing when purchasing AC. A WebMoney account if you want to split the AC among different accounts.

As for verification, using Google Checkout doesn't need verification and will allow you to bypass the verification process.

This is the part where you fill in your jpns adress I take it? I had no idea it was called a tenso account as it's not mentioned in the bumped buying guide that I saw.

You'll have to fill this out if you're a first time buyer.




As for verification, using Google Checkout doesn't will allow you to bypass the verification process.

I'm not sure what I just read here.

CN has to verify you on your first purchase. Google has nothing to do with it. Once you've passed that step, you will never have to bother with that again. Any future code purchases you will have in your CN account (check order history) in 1-2minutes.

[blace]

Tenso is the most common site used for shipping in and out of Japan as a P.O. Box of sorts and it gives its registered users a real physical address and phone number, which are all needed if you wish to purchase AC with Sega for the first time.

I never had to go through a verification process until about a month ago and I've been using Google Checkout as my payment option. It could've changed with some restrictions set up by Japan.

[Kawie95]

Not that I condone hacking, but you can also disable the JavaScript validation (remove the onclick event from the submit button element using Inspector on Chrome) in chrome on the Submit button for the name/address form. I am running into a server post back error complaining about my last name though. This bypasses a giant complaint list alert, so maybe Last name is just the first of the server side errors :) Anyways, might be helpful.

I tried using all english values, except my phone number for my zip code. Also tried translating/swapping my first/last name and gave up because I dont know what I am buying.

What is AC used for?

Do they actually ship anything to the address?

Thanks!

[blace]

AC is for for cash shop related items and AC scratch.

Items that cost AC range from additional mags, inventory space expansion, tickets, etc.

AC scratch for the much coveted clothing, hair, lobby actions, accessories as well as grind reductions, element change tickets and so on.

No more Mesenta in the game found from killing stuff? or is this just for people who want to buy money rather than find it in the game?

I havent played since Dreamcast really. Tried Gamecube and Broomops PC version a while back, never got into it since.

[blace]

Meseta is still around for buying items. AC is only for additional stuff like backpack space and new clothing.

This is still not needed. Get a random address and use that. There's no need to go to tenso and make an account. I see people telling other people that they "have" to make accounts in places. It's not necessary. At least not when it come to buying WM from CN.


I never had to go through a verification process until about a month ago and I've been using Google Checkout as my payment option. It could've changed with some restrictions set up by Japan.

It's a standard requirement that CN asks for before you get your first code. I've gone through this process with a few friends buying AC for the first time. If they've changed their ways, I'm not aware of that.

To be on the safe side, it's better to have an actual address in the off chance Sega actually looks at the info and needs to confirm it. Haphazardly entering a made up address makes you look more suspicious.

This was quite some time ago, about a month or two after PSO2 was out of beta that I had purchased AC without needing to verify. As I said in quote, it needed me to verify just last month for purchasing WebMoney.

I never said it's required to make the CN account, it IS however, needed for the PSO2 Website, since it requires a JPN address. If you guys find another way to get a JPN address, more power to you. However, it takes maybe 5 minutes to make a Tenso account, so why not just bite the bullet?

I should have put use a "real" random jpns address I suppose. I wasn't suggesting people to make a fake one.

Google anything in japan and you'll find an address in less time without having to create anything. And btw, they have your IP address so they know where you're connecting from ( as in not in JP unless you're using a VPN). They know you're not in JP. Just use a "real" random address and you should be ok.

A friend I'm getting back into PSO2 has had the same issue. And their support isn't very good. Time to just wait it out, or get Paypal to force a refund.

If the recommended retailer on the site is anything to go by, it'll be the same as buying a game card at a local gas station or grocery store. Base amount+sales tax.

1 WM pt is equal to 1 yen, so 1000 WM pts are 1000 yen.
The mark up we pay, is basically a brokerage fee, which covers additional fees like paypal, credit card surcharges aso, and of course some profit.

[Zalana]

I'm thinking the same thing because, I think someone is blowing smoke up my ass about them getting it for much much cheaper.

Still not a single word from them.

[Meta77]

Took me most of the night + other things, I've manage to buy some ducking AC. It 6am in the morning, so apologies for the sloppy work beneath me, I am writing it out in memory.

1. http://www.cn-usa.com/?cmd=welcome
2. Register for an account and follow the procedures for it.
3. http://www.cn-usa.com/?cmd=buy&loc=193646 or search for 'Webmoney'.
4. For example: http://www.cn-usa.com/?cmd=_sale&item=Webmoney1000 Then where it says 'Select payment method' I choose 'Paypal checkout'
5. Pay it through PayPal and it all should be good, for now...
6. Check your email address that you registered Paypal / CN-USA or both (I used two different ones.) There should be a message showing a screenshot of your 'Webmoney' with the 16x code with it. This is shown via email or your CN-USA account.
7. I'm not sure if this is for buying webmoney or just to use/have money on your CN-USA but you 'may' have to validate your account. A message would of been sent via email or on CN-USA.

10. Once you've logged in. Choose 'webmoney' within the 'Payment method'. After certain number of 'next's'... You'll be directed to webmoney website, where you will have to input that 16x digital, numeral code you got given to you via email/CN-USA. A confirmation will concur that it will work.
11. That's about it, I hope it helps and congratulations on getting some AC!

Now I can go to bed! (^__________^; *Thinking.... Why didn't I buy the 2000wm instead of 1000wm >_____<'';*
does this method still work? I want to get premium but trying to find fastest and easiest way.

[Umberger]

does this method still work? I want to get premium but trying to find fastest and easiest way.

I purchased a WebMoney code from CN-USA a couple of weeks ago. Got my code very quickly (something like 5~10 minutes) and didn't have to scan in an ID or anything. Paid with PayPal, no hassle.

[Zalana]

I received my code from sutocorp only took a day but, I'm never in a rush anyways.

[.Jack]

does this method still work? I want to get premium but trying to find fastest and easiest way.

This is probably the fastest way to get WM codes as far as I know. You will have to verify your location at first if they still do that. After that when you buy from them again there's an instant buy option and if you use google check out, you'll have your code in a few seconds.

[Meta77]

quick question help please im trying to buy some ac but I did every step but forgot my secret questions cause i was trying to change my address. is it necessary to have the tensho or whatever its called address to buy ac?
1. http://www.cn-usa.com/?cmd=welcome
2. Register for an account and follow the procedures for it.
3. http://www.cn-usa.com/?cmd=buy&loc=193646 or search for 'Webmoney'.
4. For example: http://www.cn-usa.com/?cmd=_sale&item=Webmoney1000 Then where it says 'Select payment method' I choose 'Paypal checkout'
5. Pay it through PayPal and it all should be good, for now...
6. Check your email address that you registered Paypal / CN-USA or both (I used two different ones.) There should be a message showing a screenshot of your 'Webmoney' with the 16x code with it. This is shown via email or your CN-USA account.
7. I'm not sure if this is for buying webmoney or just to use/have money on your CN-USA but you 'may' have to validate your account. A message would of been sent via email or on CN-USA. I used the Paypal one and the phone activation (You don't talk to anyone, a automated voice just says a 4 number digit :]).
8. After you've done tying all the loose ends (I hope), time to get some AC!!!!
9. https://cha.isao.net/profile_oem/OEM...duct_name=pso2 and http://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/hiragana.htm

is there any way on the world to get cash without increments of 1000? for example paying for 500 or even 300 cash only

[Shinamori]

Anyone know of any good prepaid CCs to use with this?

[Rhypht]

So I followed the guide in the OP, and I'm at the part where I put in my information on Sega's site to buy the Arks Cash. However, I'm getting this error whenever I try to submit it:

http://puu.sh/3r5lX.jpg

I'm thinking it has something to do with my address, but I have NO idea what it says. Anyone else run into this issue?

[Will_Nonheim]

I have to ask, does Sega accept cash from one source (like say, Webmoney, whatever) being utilized on two separate PSO2 accounts?

My wife and I have separate PSO2 accounts, so I'd like to get some AC for the two of us from only one source to lessen my hassle.

I bought AC yesterday and from what I did it should work if you do it through Webmoney.

1. Make a Webmoney Account
2. Add Funds too it
3. When you go to buy AC choose Webmoney and sign in and it will only take out that amount from your account so you should be able to use 2 different accounts to take it from there.

Most of the guide seems up to date except for the Webmoney page since they changed how it looks. You can also add other ways to buy the Webmoney like CN-USA.com.

[AgemFrostMage]

Bumping it just in case =)

It is important to remember for the tensu half width and full width numeric. If it is full it doesn't go through, so use the narrower numbers by looking at the big Tenso numbers, typing them with IME activated, then hit enter and scroll to the smaller ones. Keep the TS or whatever full width. But... I have the maintenance work message -_-

Getting this error on the SEGA site when trying to register the address info from Tenso.

http://i.imgur.com/HvKM66z.png

It's been a while since I had to do that, but it looks like it might be an error with the name you're using. You sure you're using full-width characters? You can't type your name normally like "Perry James", you have to type it like "Ｐｅｒｒｙ Ｊａｍｅｓ". Does that make sense?

If it does make sense and you have indeed tried it the correct way, you may need to simply use a Japanese alias. Here's the one I've been telling people to use:

Names are listed like this:
Surname / Given name

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Romaji: (This is just for your reference. You won't register with this)
Shin / Shoiji

Kanji:
新 / 庄司

Katakana (phonetic):
シン / ショウジ

Let me know how if you get more/different error messages.

[prime046]

I tried my name using the full-width characters but I suppose it's not working for me. I will try to use your example one posted and hopefully have better luck.

Edit: Changed the name to the one used in your example, worked just fine. Thanks again!

After reading through your guide I am still having difficulty registering.
I created the Tenso account just fine, I get past the captcha, click on the button that says Buy Ark Cash. I choose Webmoney, and then on the next page it asks for my info. Here is a picture of how I enter the info with the error that I am receiving.

I have heard of people having issues even when using full-width Roman characters. Try replacing both the Kanji and phoenetic names with the Japanese alias I included in the guide:

Romaji: (This is just for your reference. You won't register with this)
Shin / Shoiji

Kanji:
新 / 庄司

Katakana (phonetic):

Using an alias shouldn't hurt anything. I'm using one myself. Let me know if that works.

Yeah, pretty much what she said, unfortunately.

[darkwraith007]

I wonder if it has been posted, but perhaps trying to use a VISA or Mastercard prepaid credit card might work instead of American Express (AE)?
I know why they dropped AE support. AE as a company has been notorious for being hostile/unfriendly to smaller businesses and charging absurd fees for using their card. That's why most merchants don't even bother accepting it.
I honestly wish they'd just go DIAFF as we're just fine with VISA/Mastercard. Discover has those fancy rewards, however those rewards come from the pockets of merchants and they pass those on to you (and everyone else) via higher prices; thus it really doesn't benefit anyone!

[Syanas]

How reliable is eBay for webmoney? I took a look and I'm not exactly sure why the digital cash ones have a delivery time of up to a week or more.

[Chdata]

I gotta say, sutocorp was quite a hassle only because I had to get my paypal verified which took me a day or two.

Actually, I haven't gotten my code yet since I had to respond to them just now.

[Chdata]

Sutocorp worked successfully for me, but it's a huge hassle if you don't have your paypal verified already.

At least they stuck with me and everything. And yes you need to send a screenshot of your ID or whatever.

Probably going to try a different site I was recommended next time though.

[Syanas]

Does anyone know how buying webmoney from eBay works?

[pkemr4]

will useing CN-USA work?

[Tetsuo9999]

CN-USA is a reliable site, despite what the poorly translated Engirsh might make you think. I spent several hundred dollars on Cera for DnF a few years ago, and they always sent the codes instantly; never had any problems with faulty codes or anything. They do mark up the cards quite a bit over what a native Japanese player would pay, but all of these sites do that.

What's a good way to get an address to use for this besides making a Tenso account? I'm thinking about transferring ships.

Yeah, they're a pain. My Paypal's not verified, and they just stopped allowing unverified Paypal accounts, so I've taken my business to eBay user mick227.


Does anyone know how buying webmoney from eBay works?

Works great. A little pricier than SutoCorp, but completely reliable and headache-free. I buy my codes from eBay user mick227. He's prompt and will send you the code in an eBay PM in <24 hours.

Never tried them. I should do that whenever I decide to buy AC again.

Any other Kanji/ Kana names that can be used?

[Chdata]

I can vouch for jpwm.net.

Instant and easy, use paypal.

Also when I bought 3k AC from sutocorp, it costs $39.77 ($38, but extra because of currency conversion).

3k from jpwm.net was $40 but I didn't have to go through currency conversion, so I think the rates are ok.

[Rexob]

Great write-up! I already have a verified Paypal so that was not an issue and sent in my photo ID asap to Sutocorp.

Sutocorp takes a bit longer to get the WM code. If you don't already have a verified Paypal you'll have to wait for that first, and send in a photo ID.

CN-USA costs a bit more, but I received my code immediately without needing a photo ID.

I think for a quick one-time purchase CN-USA is easier if you want your AC NOW. Sutocorp over the long-term though is cheaper if you don't mind waiting.

*CN-USA does eventually need a photo ID & copy of your credit card / statement for verification - you can block out most of it.

[Lexx]

Play-asia.com now sells webmoney digital too.
2k is 26.9$

[KuroKanden]

So I've recently purchased a 2000 Webmoney Card, but I do not see a 2000 option on the WM redeem page, only 1k and 3k.

How exactly does this work, if I may ask?..

2k = 1k+1k

Never heard of jpwm.net, but sounds promising. I'll probably try them next.

I was aware of CN-USA, but haven't gotten WM from them yet. I remember having some sort of headache with them forever ago, but can't place it. Need to try them again.

Also, thanks for the tip on play-asia. The more options, the better. I need to add a list of links to the end of the OP.

Basically, what Chdata said; redeem 1,000 AC twice.

[Rexob]

I'm really happy with CN-USA, they do cost slightly more than anyone else, but the delivery is instant. There is a bit of a headache once you reach a "Buying Limit" and they'll need to verify your email, phone, location via Google Maps, ID, and credit card #.

Getting of the information together is a bit of a hassle, but they verify it almost instantly. I have made multiple purchases from them now and don't mind paying a few extra dollars ~$3 over sutocorp to have instant delivery. Every once in a while they'll want to re-verify my geolocation, but I receive the WM email instantly after logging into Google for that.

Hi new member here. I just have a question regarding webmoney purchase via prepaid card.

is there anything special you need to do when entering character in the 16 char cold field?

I just bought some from Play-Asia and the code doesn't seem to work, not sure if you have be typing in specific language keyboard or something.

Thanks

for CN-usa the limit is like 120$ i think and it resets montly on the 1st i think

I tried to buy some webmoney yesterday and I was told to email or fax them a Photo-ID card and both front and back of my credit card. Is this common when buying from a foreign website?

The website is as follows:

It seems like we have to go through a lot of hoops to buy AC.

Almost every website require some kind of ID verification. Sutocorp and CN-USA both require something similar.

Yes, a photo ID is often required. I sent mine to Sutocorp and had no trouble with it at all.

If you're skittish about E-mailing a picture of your ID, you can always go the eBay route. It's a little bit of a markup, but it's virtually headache-free, and sometimes faster than Sutocorp.

UPDATE: The guide is now up to date, including the (now optional) WebMoney registration. PM me if you see something inaccurate/unclear/outdated. If you have trouble purchasing AC, please post here before you PM me.

Sorry, i didn't really understand from this guide - if i'll purchase web money prepaid card from play-asia, all i need to do is to open and log in to cha.isao.net page and i will be able to use my code or i need to do something else, like i have to fill my address details, name etc.?

When you log in to cha.isao.net, specifically through the PSO2 Account Management Page (https://cha.isao.net/profile_oem/OEMLogin.php?product_name=pso2), you will see an option to purchase AC called "Cash Purchase ARCS (AC)". It will only appear in English if you're using the Google Chrome web browser. If you aren't using Google Chrome, god help you.

Have your WebMoney code and Tenso account handy before clicking that link. At some point during your first purchase, the website will ask you for your personal information (address, etc). That information comes from your Tenso, as pictured.

[fangorn77]

Oh, ic now. Thanks!

[Stonecold]

Well, I`m sort of lost now. Can`t figure now, what use the WM account will be, if we still buy pre-paid WM voucher to add money? Isn`t it the same as buying with that voucher said cash?

My first thought was, that account will allow to be refilled from ordinary credit card, but no, it demands mobile e-mail, etc... and we still have to use pre-paid cards.

Basically, you don't need a Web Money account. You can simply use the WebMoney voucher code you bought from eBay/Sutocorp/etc to buy AC.

The only reason this guide explains how to make a WebMoney account is because I used to think it was necessary, but learned later it was not. I figured there was no reason to fully remove the information, so I left it up for reference.

I edited the section on WebMoney accounts, so hopefully it'll be a little more clear to others who read it.

Let me know if you have any other issues.

[Stonecold]

Ah, thanx.

BTW, I used http://www.jpwm.net/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=63_64 to get JWM coupon. Not sure if they are cheap or not, but this site do not require any passport scans or whatever.

[r00tabaga]

I wanna buy a costume w/AC but I don't see any in the costume shop. There were only like 20 total. Am I in the wrong spot?

[blace]

AC costumes are limited to scratch only. Your luck is decided by the games already terrible RNG.

Or checking the players shop alternatively.

[r00tabaga]

WTF?!? I wanted the Kireek looking one. Any guess as to how much that's going for in shops?

[blace]

The parts are out of rotation so the arm, torso and legs may be around 200 to 300k while the head could be as high as 5 million.

[r00tabaga]

That sounds like a horrible business model. I was gonna spend money......now I'm not.

[blace]

Those are average prices from players alone. You won't be able to get it lower until Sega puts the parts back on rotation.

[r00tabaga]

Does the entire library of costumes cycle around this scratch rotation? It'd be so much easier just to buy what I wanted w/AC.
Thx for the info. I might buy the Special Edition Vita package just to put those 2 outfits for sale towards my Kileek!

[blace]

From availability to pricing, it all revolves around the scratch.

[stukasa]

So, my Kanji name is:

Ｐｅｒｒｙ Ｊａｍｅｓ

Then, I translate "Perry James" from English to Japanese using Google Translate to get my phonetic name:

ペリー ジェームズ

(Google Translate gave me the translation without spaces. If you aren't comfortable with kana characters, just translate each name separately. Remember, your last name in English will be your first name in Japanese.)
I tried using English letters for my kanji name but it didn't seem to like that very much. Should I just go ahead and come up with some random Japanese alias instead? Does Sega ever actually ban anyone for inputting a false name?

[Topic Cheese]

This guide really worked wonders for me. I thought it would be impossible to ever get anything good on this game.

I don't think a Webmoney account is really needed, because if you just buy codes from retailers (JPWM, SutoCorp, CN-USA, Playasia), you can see recent AC redemption on the Japanese login page.

[Jim]

A lot of people have had trouble getting the full-width Roman characters to work. You should be fine using a Japanese alias. In fact, I'm using one.

I included one alias in the guide for people who are feeling lazy, but the safest way is to simply create your own. If you have trouble getting it to accept your alias, or if you don't know how get kanji and phonetic names that match, just post here and I'll help.

Correct, a WebMoney account is not necessary. The guide actually says so in multiple places, including the WebMoney account creation segment. (which is only included for reference)

Still, thanks for the feedback. Hearing that the guide is helping people motivates me to keep maintaining it, and to keep working on my other tutorial projects.

No, if you already have an address linked, you probably don't need Tenso. I usually recommend that you just try to buy AC and see if it lets you. Then, if it stops you and asks for an address, that's when Tenso comes into play.

[Jim]

Lol, will do, ill post later the results

Yes, please do. That would be useful to know.

[Xanlarel]

Just did, its not the tenso address, still getting the same error.

[Jim]

Hmm. Are you using a different E-mail address as well? All of the info should be different if possible.

[Xanlarel]

Yeah, completely different mails\address(real address tho)\names in the new tenso.

Been trying to translate the error

[Xanlarel]

im having some trouble with this, and really all im planning to do is just get like 500 AC I think, enough for me to transfer ships and that's mostly it.

think im stuck on Step 5.

Which part of step 5, specifically? Are you having trouble getting a prepaid WebMoney code?

sorta- I think the hassle I was giving myself was I trying to fill credit information about needing a mobile email that I didn't really have to do. insteadj just buy points and put it to my account [which I made account that's not a problem]

but the last problem I think I have now is..prices. suto has cheapest ya for 1,000 points. but honestly all I want to do is buy 500 AC. [nothing more] for the need of ship transferring my character and I don't want to carry extra AC or money around [that I can only use for AC anyway]

I hear u said some sort of method where u can share points with a friend If you made purchase? is that possible to do with suto.

Yes, you can share a code with a friend. It's very simple. Just buy a 1000 point code from Sutocorp and spend 500 of it on AC. The amount is subtracted from your code, and the remaining 500 points will stay on it. Just let your friend use the same code again to spend the remaining points.

Last time I checked, it was 700 AC to change ships, not 500. Has the price gone down, or could you just be a little mixed up?

Cost me 350 to change ships so I'm not sure if I got a special deal or something but that was within the past 2 weeks.

[Mizioki]

where do u normally go to buy the transfer ship..thing? so I can find out how much it is now. because usually all I can find online now is 700 ac to transfer, from news like a year ago..

also if anybody is planning to buy AC like 1,000.
i'd love to buy 700ac off you and you can have the rest of the points lol =|

[Jim]

Interesting. I need to look into this and find out if it's a permanent change. What ships were you transferring to and from?

You change ships on the character select screen.

Side note: When you change ships, everything about your character will be moved over, including your inventory. However, your bank, your player shop, and (I think) your room will be left behind. (Transferring will not cause you to lose premium status; that carries over to all ships.) Make sure you have all of your important items on you before transferring.

Thanks for the guide! I didn't have any difficulties with identity confirmation for SutoCorp, they took my photos of passport and credit card even in Ukrainian language!

[Mizioki]

any news on if any prices for ship changing has become cheaper/or same?

and also from the idea that people usually have to do this, do much people ever ask for anybody to exchange points with? like ''hey I bought this many points, but I only need this many, I wanna sell the rest to somebody who would want it'' kind of thing.

Unfortunately, no news on whether the ship-change price has changed permanently. I'll post here once I know something.

As for your second question, I'm pretty sure that arranging real-money transactions on PSOW is against the rules. They have good reason for banning it though; RMT can be dangerous if you aren't dealing with people you know and trust.

found out. its 350 AC. I think permanately. and you can change ships only once every 24 hours. and from second question I ment outside of PSO. but the intentional use of the money would go in towards it. never though I figure its possible :P

This is a handy guide but what about paying for Webmoney through Play Asia?

I've noticed they got 2,000 and 5,000 Webmoney pre-paid cards and digital codes up for sale.

[Iaolia456]

Hi, I'm a new member here

I purchased 1000 ac by using web money. Like a normal I press the big orange in webmoney website to confirm purchase the it link back to pso site and it say network congestion please try again. I check the purchase history and nothing there also check in game AC too and the balance is still 0. But balance in webmoney wallet has gone and I didn’t get the ac. Webmoney also sent me a receipt to my email.

My friends also purchasing AC at the same time but they has no problem. I also try to purchase another 500AC and it work fine.

What should I do?

Thanks

It's tough to say, honestly. Hopefully, the transaction was just being delayed and the AC has gone through for you by now. Is that the case, or do you still not have your AC?

I bought the 2000 Webmoney from Play-Asia a couple of days ago for 30 days Premium and I got the code and everything, worked with no problems on my end (I'm a UK resident too.), arrived to my email in a matter of minutes.

I've done business with them before in the past and it's been positive. Customer Support reply times seem to depend on timezones.

They're a good seller, can be just slow at times according to feedback on the items.

[nanakatrin]

Is there a way to not use paypal and buy from play-asia? I haven't tried yet because I still want to take the same route everyone else has taken. Paypal is taking awhile to confirm my identity (the last missing piece to the puzzle of getting my account complete) and it's become a hassle to make a paypal account in general. If it wasn't for pso2 I would probably never make a paypal account.

In any case, all payment method requires you to verify your address or ID at some stage, like when you apply for a credit card, set up a moneybooker or paypal account. Not sure about western union, iirc that was popular for money laundering, so they have higher fees and you are actually sending money, not paying/buying anything, in a sense.

Yes! Thank you so much~~ I didn't use paypal to purchase the AC and it worked! Play-asia needed to call me to verify my order they were so nice! I didn't have international calling and they made sure I got the call. I am in love. In your face paypal. (I'll still use you paypal after my account is completely verified >_> <_<)

I skimmed that message, but Tenso are just people who sell WebMoney codes. If they refuse to sell them to you, you can always go somewhere else like eBay or PlayAsia to get them. Tenso have no control over your PSO2 account and characters, so you're safe. :)



Edit:
Also, I went ahead and did a few minor updates as long as I'm on here:

-Updated color-coded CAPTCHA image to an image using hiragana, instead of katakana like the old CAPTCHAs did

Hmm, did you used the tenso address on your play-asia account? Because if you did, you should not have done it. Play-asia is based in Hong Kong, Tenso is a japanese forwarding services located in japan. If you used a credit card with playasia and your tenso address, it will look suspicious and your credit card company/bank will look into these kind of things and ask around.

No. I used play-asia for webmoney digita codes alone. sorry for the vague info in my previous post.

For Tenso, I used it for SEGA ID address as instructed in the guide. I also used it at GenkiBack, a local store which sells mobile phone and accessories so when tenso receives it for me, I can get nice straps for late christmas presents to friends when it arrives to my doorstep. I'm still asking tenso now what would happen to my straps now that they killed my account. Though, I'm using my paypal to pay for tenso services... i thought that wouldn't matter to SEGA?

:(

[MahouShoujoA]

Hey this guide helped a ton. I just finished manually entering all my Tenso information on the SEGA ID and now im just waiting for my webmoney code to come in from Play-Asia. Just a question, when i input my address from tenso do i include the TS###### part at the end? Not sure if that would look suspicious or not. And would you reccomend following through with sending Tenso your identification? I dont plan to actually use tenso to buy anything but i wasnt sure if they would close your account after a certain time if you didnt use the service/ didnt have the proof of identity set up

Edit: The reason im asking is that the poster above looks like his account got terminated related to the lack of proof of identification (At least thats what it sounds like to me) But in his/her case they actually used tenso to purchase something else.

[zamoth]

It's supposed to interrupt you at some point during your first AC purchase and ask for your address. If it doesn't, that's no problem; just makes your life a little bit easier!

[Redpeanut]

Okay cool, also do you know of any other legit and trusted sites to buy WebMoney points/card from other than Ebay? I'm kind of inpatient and hate waiting for items to be delivered so being emailed the codes is better for me.

[Jim]

Actually, nearly everyone on eBay will send you the codes in an eBay private message when you purchase them. Usually within 24 hours of your purchase. You can always read the description and/or send them a message before buying to be sure, but I've never heard of anyone actually mailing out the cards.

[johno2]

So i just purchased some webmoney of suto. Will they ship too my email adress or home adress :/

Suto E-mails the code to you. It should be sent in less than 24 hours. If it isn't for some reason, E-mail their support; they're usually pretty helpful.

They should disclose the reason as shutting down your account and saying they aren't able to disclose it is suspicious.

Steps 1 - 3 are no longer necessary, and can be removed entirely.


Oh, nice, that's good to hear! I'll rewrite the guide and make everything neat some time soon.



This part:

should be removed ASAP, as SEGA has starting flagging accounts that share webmoney codes, and banning them under "suspicious activity".

Will do, I'll edit that immediately.

According to AIDA, they aren't confirming the addresses, so you can try registering with any Japanese address, like Sega HQ, or a KFC or something.

If you decide to get your own Tenso address like I did, the country you're forwarding to should be the country that you live in, not Japan.

I skipped steps 1-4. Went to ebay to pick up 2000 webmoney, then clicked on the link in step 6. But there are no steps there to finish. Should I refer back to steps 1-4?

GUIDE UPDATED: January 24th, 2014
•The guide has been majorly rewritten, and irrelevant information has been removed
•Added "Easy method" for choosing Japanese address
•Removed information about translating your name into Japanese. IT NO LONGER WORKS!
•Completely removed WebMoney registration from the guide, as it is unnecessary and was being included for reference only
•Removed information on sharing WebMoney codes with friends. SHARING CODES CAN NOW GET YOUR ACCOUNT BANNED!
(Thanks to AIDA for letting me know the guide needed updating.)
