Lost free 30 days for accidentally registered to the wrong service account?

Guess the post on reddit is wrong too

From what I have seen it seems to have only happened to 1.0 accounts. I bought the game fresh and didn't even worry about my 1.0 account and was able to register just fine by clicking add platform. I think it's because they didn't intend any 1.0 players to buy the game again unless they were buying a ps3 version. Which is why you only get the option to add a ps3 service.

*Actually now that I think about it I remember readin something a few weeks back that the only way 1.0 players would get early access and the free 30 days is by purchasing a ps3 version of the game and applying that code. Dumb as hell but makes sense with what is happening

Ah ok, I am not 1.0 account, but the add platform button was misleading hence I didn't click it, should have I guess then I wouldn't have end up with two service accounts now.

That's probably it. I cannot add a new code to my 1.0 account since, well, that's already a full game. I have no need to activate a game which is technically already activated.

In other words, people who bought ARR again despite being 1.0 players (in order to have the early access) effectively have a copy of the game (and thus a registration code) that's completely useless (...and can be resold if you weren't dumb enough to add a second service account).

Yeah, dumbest account system ever.

I was a beta player, since phase 3 and it worked just fine for me.

They published that after loads of people doing it wrong. The account system is a real mess!

You sued Add Platform right? The one on the Bottom left corner?
