Please let those that already own FFXIV 1.0 purchase preorder privileges

The info blowout and the services announced today are great, but there's one thing that IMHO is missing.

The game's early adopters are going to miss on the mog cap and the caith sith pet unless they preorder a whole (and for most useless) new copy of the game, those that aren't legacy are also not going to get into the early access.

IMHO it'd be a good idea, like you're offering a Collector's Edition upgrade service, also to offer a service that lets those that got 1.0 "upgrade" to preorder status for a fee (i would say 5 to 10 bucks would be fair).

Personally, I got the 1.0 Collector's Edition on day 1 (preordered it months before release), and I'm a bit sore for missing the collectibles coming with the new preorder, but honestly it would be unfair to ask people to preorder a whole new copy to get the items and early access.

It will also be useful for Square Enix, as it would let them gauge how many of the old customers are planning to return (which is, after all, one of the main reasons for offering preorders).

Pretty please?

Well, I'll be pre-ordering another copy anyway, so it doesn't make a difference to me. So I'd be bias on this topic.

I Believe this is what you are looking for.

Thanks, I read it since it leaked this morning, but it says absolutely nothing about this.

That covers the Collectors Edition items but no mention of pre-order items - Cait Sith Doll minion and Moogle cap.

Damn, I'm Russian and I can not pre-order .... This is not fair .... I hope we are not deprived of at least Upgrade Serveise ...

Not sure how this is pertinent to the topic?

So if I'm reading it correctly, you want SE to give everyone who played 1.0, including the people who dropped the game shortly after it released to get all of the pre-order bonuses?

I think they make incentives for the exact purpose of pushing CE pre-orders, rather than handing them all out.

Plus the fact that Legacy, original CE-owners, and original players are already getting nice things as it is. My question would be, if I pre-order it, will I be able to connect the items to my account, even if I made the pre-order for another account.
