A confused 1.0 player looking for adviceFollow

Hi all,

I'm kinda confused about the early access for ARR. I purchased the game back when 1.0 was active and played for around a month. I also set up a subscription to the game for that length of time.

In 2.0 I have a legacy character (which is my character from 1.0) and that's on a legacy server now in 2.0. My question is, will I get early access at all or do I need to pre order a key and apply it to my account I'm using now? Will SE allow me to register another key on the same account I'm currently using? I'm not sure if I get early access or not. I did play in the other phases of ARR.

Can anyone please confirm?

Thank you

I didn't even pay for 1 month in 1.0 and I have early access.

If you have legacy account status from 1.0, I believe you do get early access. To qualify for a legacy account, you must have been subscribed to the game for 3 or more months in 1.0 after it went pay to play, and applied for the status.

If you don't meet the above criteria, then you don't get early access to the game. You will need to pre-order to get a early access code and then apply it to your account. The key you used when you registered your 1.0 version and the early access code are not related at all, so you should have no trouble.

This flow chart is nifty for deciding on what version to buy:

Thanks,

Like I said I only subbed for one month I think so I'm not sure if I get early access or not. Is there anyway to check through my SE account?

Hmmm, I'm not sure to be honest. I'm not a legacy member ; ;

Unless you pre-ordered ARR or paid for 3 months during 1.0, you do not have early access. You might be mistaking Open beta going on right now for Early Access.

Yes, you can pre-order a PS3 copy. That will give you access to early play, and you can redeem the 30 days that come with it. If you pre-order a windows version it's the same thing except you can't redeem the 30 days because you can't register 2 Windows copies on the same service account.

So I take it PS3 and PC versions are the same? Like if I play a character on the PC, I can then go and play that character on the PS3 version?

Nope didn't pay a cent into 1.0 and didn't do the pre-order either. I have a legacy character and have been playing in the early access this weekend. Up till this morning where I got hit with the 3102 error.

I did purchase the 1.0 CE though.

The tattoo is for every 1.0 characters.

And Bludot, maybe they messed up with your account and gave you early access for some reason or other, I don't want to call you a liar. But please don't spread misinformation. For everyone else, it requires having paid for 3 months.

Now I'm confused.
So I have the 1.0 CE, I didn't pay the 3 months. But I do have a character that has the big LEGACY title beside it. Does this mean I don't get early access?

Well according to Pulazka's flow chart I should get early access because I had purchased the 1.0 CE

But where my confusion now lies is in the point that someone has mentioned you needed to have paid for 3 months of game time.

Yes my phase 3 character was removed. But my original 1.0 character from 2010 is still on my account with the LEGACY thing tagged to it.
