Legacy user on PS3: "no valid or active service account is available to play"
I can't log in to FFXIV right now. It says "no valid or active service account is available to play final fantasy xiv: a realm reborn".
I am a Legacy status member, having done the beta test (including phase 4) on a PS3. My square-enix.com profile has the "legacy" icon next to the FFXIV account, and it says the account is active. I have two FFXI accounts (canceled) but only one FFXIV account there. So I have only one active account whatsoever, so I'm apparently not subject to that multiple-account bug.
I have not linked my PSN account to the Square-Enix account, because I can't find out what that does or why anyone needs to do that. Even if I did, I don't know how to do that. I don't know if that's relevant. Is it?
I was not informed of any further registration that I'd have to do, of any kind. I thought the same account with the same software would just continue to work right now. And of course, there's nothing for Legacy users to purchase.
Some people are talking about having to purchase (or re-purchase) the game, use the resulting registration code, and process a refund!
