Yes I think I am stupid.

I wanted to upgrade to ps4 so I did it. However, when logging in the game I see I have no characters. After that I see the "Character data ps3->ps4" and I go in to see how I can do it. It tells me I need to export my data from my ps3 account (which I no longer can access because I upgraded to ps4).

So... Is there a way I can get my character to the ps4 or am I just stupid and need to start all over again? Thx for the help
