Ok on the last day of beta 4 I was one of the lucky people who got disconnected and then received a message that I was still logged in. So since I had a PS3 code I decided to try that. I remember them asking if I wanted to link the accounts and thinking that would be a bad idea, so I said no, but yet trying to access my beta characters gets me the message: This service account cannot be used in the current environment. Use of an account from multiple platforms requires proper registration for each platform. Visit the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station (http://sqex.to/Msp) for more information (3108 in the lower right corner). I go there and they tell my the site is unavailable until after August 27 launch. Luckily I seem to be able to use my legacy characters, though I haven't actually tired to get into the game with them yet. I wanted to play my beta characters since they are on the server where some of my old friends are playing this weekend. Sorry I'm not more helpful to the people who have already posted to this thread.
