I need some help with this. I bought the game with 1.0 and it is showing registered and not cancelled with a date of Jun 12, 2012. I thought I was ready to go with EA, but I am getting the 2nd screen. Do I have to buy the ARR version of the same game?

08-23-2013, 10:33 AMrsparrowkUnfortunately you do if you are not legacy, if you pre-order through Amazon you will get a code almost instantly and then you can register it with your 1.0 account. If you do this MAKE SURE when it ask you if you have an account you click yes and log into your 1.0 account before submitting your pre-order code. After you submit your pre-order code you will get another code from SE with a 20 digit code...Then submit that and you should be good.Quote:

08-23-2013, 10:58 AMLebronJamesYou'll see if you're eligible for early access after that installs. It's the same as the beta phase 4 client!Quote:

Register your EA code. Think they woulda made a simpler way. First you have to obtain your EA code/collector edition items. You should still have your order confirmation from SE scroll to the bottom where you see your SKU number for your Pre-order bonus package copy and paste in the b boxes found here http://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com then you will get you EA code/collectors edition items, it will also be emailed to you. Then just follow the onscreen instructions to register your EA code. I used option 2 (the alternate method)
-
08-23-2013, 11:18 AMrsparrowkYea the only way you get a free account and early access is if you are legacy (not really free since you paid the 1st time for it) but anyone other way you will have to buy the game for EA.Quote:

08-23-2013, 11:46 AMZephelRight. But I was more wondering along the lines of the free account. I remember reading somewhere that 1.0 owners got 2.0, but for EA of course you had to preorder etc. I checked my account and I have an active service account..yet the client is saying otherwise. This is where my confusion lies...Quote:

It shows I am ready for early access, but when I check with SE Account Management it shows nothing that I have it registered. I am guessing it will fix this all out sooner or later though.... I hope.

I have a strange question. So...if i have a 1.0 code unregistered will that work the same as an ARR fresh code?
Would it still work for early access?
Or do i need to purchase a new code only? -
08-23-2013, 09:15 PMrsparrowkI honestly wouldn't know. I think it should work for ARR since they are giving 1.0 ARR free but I don't think it would work for early access. On top of all that I don't even know where to register the key.Quote:
