Its correct...EA was only till 30 august the rest of the days are an offer for players coming from 1.0 but you have to buy the game unless you re a legacy player.

People coming from 1.0 using their old account doesnt get 30 "free" days...i dont know why but you can search its a known situation. If you use a new account youll get the 30 they but you can use your characters or items
