August 1st - New Payment System goes live!
Posted by Suzanna Soyinka on July 31 2012 04:54:04
Hey all, tomorrow is August 1st and the New Payment System we started distributing on the 17th of June will go live for all CCS regions.

A few things to keep in mind.

1.) Its a new system so we'll need to do some tweaking as it goes live.
2.) If you paid into August on the old CCS payment system, we will need you to contact us so we can set up the appropriate payment days in August for your sim. (Please contact us AFTER August 1st).
3.) If your sim deactivates and has no CCS service, please contact us so we can determine if you are registered with the New Payment System, it is possible that somehow in the last month and a half you missed all the notices and news about the New Payment System.
4.) If your sim deactivates but you do have the New Payment System registered, the sim in question may have the wrong owner assigned (the system auto-selected sim owners based on admin status) we've done our best over the last month to ensure we've manually checked questionable assignments and assigned the right owners to the right regions, but there could be some issues in that area, just contact me or She Juniper or Maldoror Bowman and we will be more than happy to assist you.
5.) If you are paying for your region via Paypal and have not, as yet, contacted me to confirm your Paypal payment email with me, you may need to do so to ensure that we have your database payment settings set correctly.
6.) Paypal payments are still accepted and if you are paying via Paypal, you are not required to use the New Payment System at all, the New Payment System is for Linden Dollar payments only.
7.) Some sim nick names on the database have been shortened to prevent an error with the current New Payment System dialogs, we will be making an update to the New Payment System soon and it will be available via the SL Marketplace.

Overall, there may be some hiccups as we transition over to the new system but all it takes to fix those is to communicate with CCS Administration and we'll be happy to sort out whatever the problem is. Once we get through the intial transition hump here, there should not be any problem whatsoever.

Also I must stress here that if you have not contacted me for a New Payment System in the last month and a half, and you are not paying your system access via Paypal, your sim will deactivate on the network as of August 7th, 2012. All sims found inactive on September 7th, 2012, will be fully removed from the CCS system. So even if you go inactive and don't notice, you will have a month to sort the situation out with us, any sim that has not, will be removed from the servers.

Thanks all, and lets get through tomorrow patiently and hopefully with as few errors as possible. But don't worry if there is an error, we'll fix it, just have to contact us and let us know what your problem is.
