I think I screwed up...(PS3)

Like many other PS3 users, I was given an EU early access code. After three days I got sick of waiting for a fix, so I thought I'd outsmart them and create an EU PSN account. Of course it accepted my code then.

But afterwards, I started thinking I already linked my char from 1.0 to my NA PSN account during open beta. I sure hope I'm remembering wrong, but somehow I doubt it.

Right now it shows early access only on the new account I made, so I'm pretty sure I'll have to create a new character for early access, and wait till Tuesday for my main. Can anyone confirm this?

If we didn't link during open beta I'm fine with playing ARR permanently on an EU account.
