For those 1.0 players who bought a pc copy of ARR thinking that's what they needed to do to get 30 days and preorder items. It wasn't, and the pc code you got is not going to work when trying to add it to your 1.0 account.

They told us all a month ago that 1.0 would not be able to register another pc code. But seeing as so many people bought them anyways because
A) They never saw this entirely misplaced post
B) They forgot about it and SE never reminded people or put it up on the store page like they should have.

My suggestion is to either get a refund, sell the new code to a friend (you were still able to use preorder codes and EA codes, just not the acutal game code), or contact SE support about the issue. If enough people tell SE about what happened maybe they will change the way the account works and let you use the code, even though the only thing it would add is 30 days.

Also, for those who had 1.0 (not 1.0 CE) but bought CE of ARR because they wanted the digital CE stuff, you also messed up. 1.0 players were supposed to use the upgrade feature on mogstation. Dumb as hell but that's how it works. My suggestion is the same as above.
