1.0 account holders who purchased the physical PC CE get the shaft?

I don't want to have to buy the digital upgrade when I already paid for the in game items. Can a dev please respond to this?

I've only bought 1.0 and got a canceled pre-order code from amazon, and got all the CE / Preorder items about 10 minutes ago.

You bought the 1.0 CE right? I'm talking about us who bought the physical ARR pc CE, which has the in-game item codes tied to the game disc, and you can't register two game discs to one account.

My understanding is that if you were a 1.0 account holder, C.E. or not, you do not have to buy a copy of the game, period. We will have until Sept. 9th to register our payment information to set up a sub. Maybe I missed something? I ordered the physical collectors ed anyway, just for the non-virtual items, but I can't register the included codes that come with. If I'm off-base on these assumptions, someone else chime in.

yes its ture if u have V.1 and u bought the ce V.2 physical box for the Pc u can not upgrade your V.1 account if u put the code in it just gives u a second accout instead, the only way u can upgrade V.1 is to Upgrade Digi when they put the web page up for it

I know that, I just want to get the in-game items I paid for without having to drop another 20 bucks for the digital upgrade.

They should be giving out free digital upgrades to those with 1.0 accounts who bought the PC ARR CE then. I really hope I get a response to this here, their customer support doesn't have correct information half the time.

But how hard can it be to make it so u enter the code and it upgrades to V2 from v1 it can't be that hard

Yeah, I didn't get the 1.0 collector's edition, I bought late (and only paid $20 at Best Buy) so I went and ordered the PS3 2.0 collector's edition. Hopefully I'll be able to redeem it but... crossing my fingers. >,<

Players who have 1.0 non-CE edition need to buy the "Upgrade package" to get the goods, or link your 1.0 account to a PS3 CE account.
If a 1.0 non-CE wants the physical bonus + digital they need to either buy the PS3 CE version or the PC CE version plus the digital upgrade package.

I think they've confirmed this will work. I'm doing the same thing with the PS3 CE.

Bump in the name of the twelve.
This is about people who just bought the physical PC ARR CE, not the 1.0 CE.

Yeah, if you have a ps3, good for you... But I don't, and I'll be shelling out another $20 to upgrade my 1.0 standard acct to CE because SE is trying to make money again. It's annoying, but I can't do much about it, though it can't be that hard to auto upgrade a service account from standard to CE by putting in a CE code.

Stupid 1 post a day limit...

If you log out and back in, you should have mail. People were on the courel mounts and had the cait with dolls. But if you logged in before they were available, they don't show up until you log out.

You are right, because the items are in the game code and you have already the pc version registered. It would be different if you bought the PS3 version.

Keep the physical items and resell the game with the unused code.

1.0 non-legacy CE owners do not need an upgrade. All you would get is a chance at EA.

Again, this is about people with 1.0 accounts that didn't buy the 1.0 CE, but bought the ARR PC CE.

I have been a member since launch of 1.0, played for ~1 year, but stopped before Legacy started. So, I bought the game 3 years ago and didn't really need to upgrade to early access, but I payed $30 anyway JUST to play 3 days early. So far, 3 days of Error 1017.

Final conclusion: SquareEnix stole $30 from me. (and probably a bunch of other people just like me)
