I Think I understand whats happening on the PSN pre orders...
I also preordered on PSN last Aug 15. And today I am getting the "No valid or active...blahblahblah"
I downloaded the client before the open beta using my PSN pre order. I couldn't log in into the open beta because i didnt have my open beta code yet. But when I did get my open beta code, i was able to log in. That was on Aug 16.
Now as we all know, being in open beta doesn't guarantee access to early access and official launch.
It seems to me that my open beta access overrides my preorder. This is because my open beta came at a later date. And since open beta players are not granted/guaranteed early access, all I get is the "no valid blahblahblah"...
Now, i think a few solutions to this are the ff:
1. get a preorder that is dated AFTER the start of open beta test
2. change the date of my preorder as listed on my services list
3. find a way to change the date or delete(?) the open beta service in my services list (assuming that this does not erase/void my open beta characters)
any thoughts?
