Guys be aware! For early access...

[psyhcicwars]

You shouldn't have access to the game with your 1.0 account if you haven't registered your early access on it. The only exception is if you are legacy. You can, however, use your early access code on any service account, and can even make a new service account for early access. And I guess you can technically have two service accounts with access to game at launch. But the early access code will only work till August 30 so only for 3 days...

no i mean with my 1.0 account i will have access at launch without preordering. i just want to use preorder code on my account that has no ffxiv options, but use the EA code for my 1.0 account so i can start this weekend. ill probbally let friend use the other account at launch.

You can't split your preorder code from your early access. Your preorder code gives early access and preorder items to one service account and only one service account. If you want items on one account and early access on your other, you will need two preorder codes. Since you want to use your 1.0 account for early access, I suggest you use it on your 1.0 account.

My problem is like I posted in TechSup; after hearing about all the wrong codes and PSN issues and stuff and comfort of us to play I put EA on my laptop but Im a 1.0 user but I played PS3 phase 4 and linked account but I want to know if I lose my minion and hat now.

1.0 account holder, bought PS3 CE and registered successfully for early access, linked accounts, but my PC account still gives the message that I don't have an active service account. PS3 side shows the 'wait for early access or official service start'. Is there a particular time when accounts in this situation will be updated so we can play on PC and should just wait, or do I need to contact support to get my account looked into?

After I patched the ps3 version I was able to patch the pc version within seconds after linking my account on ps3. Before updating and linking on ps3 I was getting the no active account message on pc.

Also noticed the ps3 patch is 2.5gb while the pc one was 1.5gb. Wonder what the difference is?

Since I cannot make a thread yet, I am going to post a note here for those that do not know.

While the servers are in maintenance mode, the PS3 launcher (or PC) has been updated for EA. Best to go log in, accept their ToS, unlock your EA content, and install the new patch. It's 2.5 gigs so have fun.

Sorry guys, simple question:

If I bought two early access codes for both my ps3 and pc, I won't be limited to either or, correct? I already registered both codes, but I won't be able to update until tonight. Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,

I'm having a similar issue with my wife's account. She is a Legacy player(original CE), who played 1.0 B3 and B4. when we launch the client, it says "No valid or active service account..." We have checked her account on SE management page and everything looks fine. Is there a work around for this? I thought all a Legacy user had to do was "login".

[JillyBean]

I would just wait. I have a read someone who had the same issue but it fixed about 30 min after he posted it. So I am assuming that they are working on it to get everyone with 1.0 account that got the ps3 version access to the pc version.

good to know!

does it work the other way around...?

This is my question, too.

Legacy account, have P4 client on PC and PS3. Preorderd PS3 CE from Amazon in May. Applied p-o code to PC. Able to update PC but PS3 says no valid service account. I've linked my PSN in P3 andi thought again in P4. Did it unlink after P4? Do I now have to wait for the my physical box and Mog Station to open to add myPS3 reg code to update PS3?

Did I screw up? I play onPC but i thought since the code was from ps3 I would have access on both.

Hmm when I registered my PS3 Collectors from Amazon I clicked on PS3 in the website. Then when using SE account in the PS3 ARR Client I check to add my PS3 code and items to ARR 1.0.
