Thread: 1.0 Buddy pass works for ARR?

But I also think that SE wants to let new players that gave up on the game after the beta or never played it an opportunity to try it out and decide whether they like it or not. That's what I think SE hopes to accomplish at phase 4, other than further testing that is. And if you friend forgot his log in info, can't he just find it by filling out the forgot ID/password part at the log in screen? If he has a lot of emails he uses then can't he just try them all? Or the worst case, call costumer service?

Fair enough, I forgot that 4th phase beta was going to be open. About the forgotten info, I'm pretty sure he could do that if he was genuinely interested. Again, i just thought it would be a nice gesture on SE's part to have buddy passes/free trials in some fashion at ARR's launch, a kind of gesture of good faith. "We have rebuilt the game, please come see for free how much has changed. The first hit is free kiddies!" just like a drug dealer, they get you hooked then show you the bill.

If somebody was using a buddy pass in 1.0 do they need a new registration code in 2.0?

Will you be able to use digital upgrade on your account? I have a similar situation. For some reason when I got my collectors edition I decided to use my buddy pass and not my main code.

I thought you could not add 2 pc codes to the same service account?
