No Valid Service Account - NA PS3 Only - Any Updates?Follow

It's a link to SE support explaining to people who got banned what it means when they receive the message "There are no valid service accounts". Since this is in the sub-forum of the [BANS] part of their knowledge base, I don't think it applies to just anyone. If you haven't registered a game to your Square Enix ID then you'd get the same message.

Sorta off topic, but I recall someone who actually had been banned posting a screenshot of what they saw when they tried to access their Square Enix account through the SE ID system. Their service account wasn't invalid, but where it normally said something related to the status of their account (I think it was 'active' or 'continuous' maybe), the banned account said 'unusable'. The person could still post to the official forums, but couldn't log into the game. Struck me as odd, but SE works in mysterious ways I guess.

I wouldn't read too much into what that message says in the link. Not having a valid service account could apply to everyone who applied and was accepted to beta testing, but never actually registered a full copy of the game to their Square Enix ID.

I went and looked immediately after reading this..

Now I'm worried.. 5 hours... e.e; It's crunch time. Hopefully this is resolved soon.

ya i just went to buy the game on psn and its gone.....kinda pissed this is happening few hours before beta....its gotta be serious if they completly removed the game. there losing money

FFXIV:ARR is back on PSN :)

I'm getting that thing about an invalid ID or whatever. I've preordered my physical copy of my PS3 version from Amazon. I hope the message about not having a valid ID and saying I should buy the digital version of the game goes away by the time the beta starts.

Did anyone else have to reasign their PS3 account to their Square ID?

Got home from work after letting the client download all day. Installed it and when I went to set up my account I got the "no valid account error" thing. Tried it like 2 or 3 times and finally it worked. Downloading the update now. Good luck everyone else with this issue.

It is working now. I am halfway through the DL.

It says it's only 1827mbs currently, there might be more to it though. Will update.

Mine still says no server available when i try to link account :(

Same issue for me with the service account.

I chose to add to existing in the hopes I could load my P3 character(PS3). Sure enough, I loaded him, changed his voice, and am now stuck in a loading loop. Keeping my fingers crossed though. PS3 load times in P3 could be excessive. I'll keep y'all updated.

This morning at 5am mountain time (4am pacific, 6am central, 7am east) I completed my update, created my character, and logged on to the Ultros server with my North American PS3. From my experience, the "no valid service account" error has been resolved.
