Played 1.0, do I get Early Access?

I played 1.0, beta tested 2.0, do I get Early Access? When I login, I get two separate screens, one saying wait for Early Access, then it immediately going to screen saying that the account isn't authorized (sum of those words, not precise).

Will I really have to re-buy the game in order to join my guildies on Early Access?

If you payed for 3 months in 1.0 you are considered Legacy and get early access. If you didn't pay for 3 months you are just considered 1.0 and do not get early access unless you buy one of the new pre-order packages (note the digital upgrade does not count as pre-order).
