Early Access - Is there a grace period?

[Kibo]

Is there a grace period come launch to give people time go get their copies of the game or will the lobby server just lolnope me once the game goes live-live? I won't have access to a PC at launch, PS3 is my only option but it might take an extra day for me to get a copy so I am curious if I'll just have to sit on my hands next Tuesday after early access comes to an end.

3102 me if this information is readily available somewhere obvious.

They said they will likely give a few days after launch but never said how many.
Info was in purchase thread on beta forum.

EDIT: from your profile, you seem to be a 1.0 player, which means you'll have 14 free days from the "welcome back" campaign anyway.

I had a scary thought - What if all the legacy players (me included) who bought PS3 versions to link to our accounts purely for the two bonus items are only allowed to access our pc versions for the duration of the "free" period". The pc client is only available for download for a few weeks apparently. Are SE intending to shaft us and make us pay for PC codes too to play on PC? Will we be tied to our ps3? i know that i never intend logging into my ps3 version!

PC players that have 1.0 were never required to buy the new PC version.

Yeah if you had a 1.0 account you get a free 14 days after launch as a welcome back. If you are new to the game they normally give a day or two to get your code in. Have not seen anything official on this yet however

Cheers Gokulo, the whole issue surrounding product versions has been so confusing with what and when can be registered why onehow!

Thanks for the response. I never did read that thread as I was all set already, being aware of the welcome back campaign, legacy benefits etc. Moving to PS3 was a last minute thing. Glad to hear the early access codes will remain valid for a bit after launch.

Does this apply to Endwalker? does anyone know??

Sadly, PS3 players may struggle to log in to Endwalker.
