Standard 1.0 / Legacy -> phisical CE purchase

where can i upgrade my 1.0 account to the ce?

If you have a 1.0 account, and bought the CE Physical Edition your screwed till they fix it (if they ever). They want you to pay another 20 bucks to upgrade digitally for whatever dumb reason.

from their web page listing all the pricing options for the different versions of the game. If people stopped to read about the different versions, as in find out why there are 9 different versions of the game to buy, we wouldn't have this problem to begin with.

** The Collector's Edition digital upgrade offers customers the ability to upgrade their standard FFXIV account to digital Collector's Edition status via the “FFXIV Service Center” website that is scheduled to be opened at the launch of official service, which then grants the in-game bonus items included with the Collector's Edition. Customers in possession of the Collector's Edition for either version 1.0 or A Realm Reborn will receive these Collector's Edition items without needing to purchase the upgrade.

Not sure what you are talking about here. There was no notice on the purchase page on not being able to register a physical copy of the CE edition with our 1.0 accounts. Considering it comes with a bloody registration code.

Than this is the wrong thread for you, you can just do it through the account manager or Mog'whatever thing they are calling it.

Either way, this thread is about something entirely different.

I do have something to add to this discussion though. I wish they would offer a different set of CE items for those of us who buy the CE Upgrade and the PS3 CE edition for the Collectibles that it comes with.

In the same boat, give us the option to redeem the codes on existing 1.0 accounts.

Yes, but they only mention 1.0 accounts that already have a CE. The main problem is for people who have a 1.0 standard account and want to upgrade now using the new physical copy of the CE. Forcing us to use the digital upgrade means that essentially they are forcing us to fork out an additional amount of cash to get items we already paid for... Which is just plain stupid and bad business practice if you ask me.
