Bought CE for PC but have no other choice but to upgrade 1.0 to CE and lose 30 days

This is fucked up, SE sent me an email saying the CE version I purchased cannot be applied to a 1.0 account. OKAY, fine. But wait, they refuse to give out any refunds so now on top of the CE I paid for, I have to purchase the digital upgrade for $19.99 and lose the 30 free days. OKAYYYYY, the least SE could do is offer the digital upgrade for free. Anyone else been put in this predicament? How are you dealing with it?

yup had same issue. Decided since i want to xfer to friends server, that i would register pc ce edition to new account and roll new toon on server. To be honest not sure how long till they allow server xfers even though they say mid sept
