Store Lag

[LA_MIKE]

Is there any way to reduce the lag preventing the Store from fully loading?

I begin with a black screen. I hit the Home button and wait forever until the store's background image loads up, but with no links or other information. I have tried relogging, and using other characters. After a long while, I can see some store links, but the farthest I can get is Checkout. There's no Place Order button loading up to complete the transaction.

You know, I decided to click around the blank areas and seemed to have found the final invisible button. I got the spinning turbine (processing) cursor, but then this little gem showed up:

"No additional transactions can be processed at this time, please try again in 24 hours. For your protection and the protection of the community as a whole, we limit transactions volumes per day for all players."

I just can't *wait* to find out how messed up my account must be at this point. Probably pointless, with 15 copies of STK. Heh.

I haven't received any email receipts, however.

(Isn't there a way to order over the phone?)

((Finally, the Home button does not show up if I try to access the Store from the character selection screen. Only in-game.))
