If i return....

[maclax]

If i activate my old account from when the game first came out, do i have to buy it again? i bought the collectors version. Do i still get the bonus items that came with it?

Unless something changed recently, no, you wouldn't have to buy it again. And you'd get all of the CE bonus items that were released later.
The fat chocobo has redeemed the once-regretful purchase I made all those years ago.

I believe you do need to purchase another ps4 version if you want to play the game on PS4. However, you can play your PC account on your PS4,just need to link them.

And what do you mean by buy the game those years ago??And I don't think the game FF14 has anything to do with your FF11 game as they are two....separate games.

Probably means the original version of FF14, which was released in 2010. This game is only considered "a year old" because the original version is ignored in discussing its age.

One last question fpr anyone who plays on ps4. i have saved my trial account name and now i cant figure out to change to my new "old" account name. I am certain it is an easy fix i am just missing the easy solution. Thanks again folks.

You're meaning the Hermes Shoes right, which was a bonus that was offered at the start of 1.0's service if you linked your FFXIV account with a current FFXI account? Only if you had that item on your old 1.0 character, you will still have those shoes on your character when you transfer that character into ARR. Eligibility for that item ended a long time ago however, so it's no longer offered, meaning only 1.0 characters which you got that item for will still have it - any new characters you create in ARR will not get Hermes Shoes sadly.

Your 1.0 character will also have everything they had in 1.0 (baring a few exceptions of items that were scrapped in the change over), along with their gil, levels and classes (although again, during 1.0's lifetime there were major changes and the original 'physical level' system was abolished, so any levels you gained with that disappeared, plus if you ever leveled the Sentinel class (SEN), that too was scrapped).

These pages give a list of everything that was removed from 1.0 into ARR.

Welcome back to Eorzea in any event!
