Charged for the game 15 days early, never purchased 1.0, screwed by CS. (livechat)

From what I can tell, they told you that you are entitled to the 30 days if you register the code.
You have been able to play because you technically are a 1.0 player, and you've been playing based on that starting with the early access, which you had to put a code in for.

He's only entitled to the 30 days if he registers it on a NEW account. He can't register it on his current account because for some reason, Square is handling 1.0 trial codes as if they were purchased codes.

Technically, he didn't even need to purchase ARR. He could've payed $15 sub fee instead of $30 game fee and gotten 52 days of game time.

That's what I meant, sorry. Since other people posted in the time it took for mine to go through, I didn't see the point in editing to fix it. XD

That is because 1.0 trial codes ARE purchase codes. They were complimentary upgraded to full paid accounts due to poor sales. They basically gave all trial code users a free copy of the game.

Buddy Pass codes were full versions of the game from the beginning. There is no 'trial' code. There are only game codes and you can subscribe or not subscribe.

Buddy Pass came with a 'trial' but it was always true that after the trial was completed you could opt to pay for a subscription without paying for the actual game. Mainly because Buddy Pass codes were full copies of the game to start with. (I have one and used it from the CE)
