SOLUTION!

Buy the Game from SE website and Register the PREORDER Code under your account.

This takes about 10~15 minutes

Go back to the Email you had and find the Link to Order.

Cancel the Order. your account will not be billed as it takes 2-3 days for the company to process the order.

This only works on Preorder codes. so idk if it still works now. i had 1.0CE and my account never was deactivated but i didn't qualify for Legacy status. I did this on the 1st day of Early Access and Cancelled on the 2nd day cuz i was getting 1017 error and STILL AM!..

Thanks for the Free Mog cap and Cait Sith pet.
