My legacy account could not be recovered according to SE. I spent my alpha and all betas there. Started my ffxiv 2.0 career there. Bottom line. I am offended from it as well. Hyperion used to be the Crown Jewel. The only problem IN post beta days was the market board hack, (lost 5 mil to that myself,) on an alt, and everyone was a bard in the AM/WP days.
