Saying I need a pre-order code for early access as a Legacy player.

No need to register anything afaik.
ALL 1.0 players can play for free between 27th of August and 9th of September.

I do hope this is the case because when I start up the client, it says there is no valid service account. Maybe it's only referring to the early access and I'll get a different message once release starts?

It's possible that they are restricting it now due to the load expected from players that do have early access.
A response from rep/dev would help to clear things up though.

I'm getting the same issue, but I have a regular account with EA.

Yeah, my spouse has the same issue, 1.0 non-legacy and the launcher says no valid account. Hoping it fixes itself by the 27th.
