Thread: Standard 1.0 / Legacy -> phisical CE purchase

There not getting a single cent more from me unless they fix this crap (apparently they don't care anyways).

I am not optimistic one bit.

I had to buy the CE edition as well, there was no way to upgrade at Early Access, and there still is no way to upgrade it for me. Also, no more Legacy status which I had in Beta, like wth SE. A MOD needs to respond to this thread, this is a ridiculous issue.

so i have an 1.0 account, if i want to use the code, i need to create a new account?

Yes, or register another FFXIV Service Account in order to get your CE Items... But doing this means you don't get your 1.0 character or anything else you have made on that account (Beta Phase 4 characters/Early Access and so on).

Can SE just fix this please it's so annoying, just want to register my CE ARR code and get my in-game items!

from their web page listing all the pricing options for the different versions of the game. If people stopped to read about the different versions, as in find out why there are 9 different versions of the game to buy, we wouldn't have this problem to begin with.

** The Collector's Edition digital upgrade offers customers the ability to upgrade their standard FFXIV account to digital Collector's Edition status via the “FFXIV Service Center” website that is scheduled to be opened at the launch of official service, which then grants the in-game bonus items included with the Collector's Edition. Customers in possession of the Collector's Edition for either version 1.0 or A Realm Reborn will receive these Collector's Edition items without needing to purchase the upgrade.

Not sure what you are talking about here. There was no notice on the purchase page on not being able to register a physical copy of the CE edition with our 1.0 accounts. Considering it comes with a bloody registration code.

Yes, but they only mention 1.0 accounts that already have a CE. The main problem is for people who have a 1.0 standard account and want to upgrade now using the new physical copy of the CE. Forcing us to use the digital upgrade means that essentially they are forcing us to fork out an additional amount of cash to get items we already paid for... Which is just plain stupid and bad business practice if you ask me.

That's great that they put that notice on the site that launched a month or so ago. I still ordered my CE back in May. In addition, it doesn't say anywhere that if I buy the physical CE for PC I can't apply the code to my standard account.
