Non-Legacy 1.0 Player can't play now...

I have no idea what to do... I bought the original 1.0 version years ago for $60 and I still have the case and registration code sitting in my desk...

When I try to log on it now tells me that my account is not registered or active, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to register it. I was under the impression that since I bought the $60 1.0 version already, I wouldn't need to buy the game again... Anyone know what to do? I can't find info on this anywhere.

I bought XIV for 5 euros back in V1.0 right before A Realm Reborn got anounced, and I just downloaded the client and logged in with my old account without any issues.. Did you try log into the square enix site with your account?

Yes it lets me log in wherever it's just saying I don't have access to the game for some reason.

Firstly you need the new client. 1.0 client is useless.
I'm not sure where you download the client now. Maybe via Mog Station.

New client can be downloaded here: http://hosted.gmgfarm.com/ffxivsetup.exe

I have the new client... I have a level 20 character... I was playing yesterday.

Now I'm just confused about what you're asking >.>;;;

did you ever register your 1.0 key? I had an unused 1.0 key and was able to successfully register it to my existing service account as soon as the mog station went live. just make sure to "add/register new platform".

Yes I played back in 1.0 so I did use it back then. I tried to register that code just a bit ago to get into the game but it was too short and didn't work.

And you used your existing 1.0 service account when you played beta and early access in 2.0, correct?

Try setting up a payment method, it wont take any money yet but has fixed the issue for some of suddenly not being allowed in.

sounds like you have more than one service on the same account? Log in via mogstation and check the status of them. The one that has FFXIV registered should be active, however a service with only beta (for example, creating a new one for PS3 beta) will not be active.

Yes. Well I only had early access through the PS3 since I was forced to buy another copy of some sort in order to have early access. But yes.

They played yesterday which means that they had an account yesterday.
I think you need to contact support.

yeah, although you should receive 2 free weeks to play as a 1.0 user, you may need to setup a subscription with either a CC or game cards.

Actually just added my credit card and still not working >.>. I have been having nothing but problems with this game, sigh.
