Changes to Path of Exile's Account System

I linked my POE account to Steam, If I purchase the EA from Steam, will the main sub-account have access to EA or it's only available to the sub-account from Steam?

OG account name holders should be number free and only those made after this change would have a number. Isnt it going to be a scammers paradise now?

I dislike this change a lot.

Agree 100%.

At the very least they should have had a discriminator of #0000.

It's so frustrating that GGG almost always demonstrate ingenuity when solving problems within the game, yet issues and solutions outside of the game (eg. these awful numbers and the whole Playstation MTX garbage) often seem poorly thought through, implemented and communicated.

I’m absolutely against this change as well. It feels so poorly thought out to implement this without a proper solution like keeping a discriminator (#0000) for all legacy user. This just makes the system unnecessarily complicated and opens the door for abuse. It’s especially disappointing considering how thoughtful GGG usually is with in-game decisions, yet changes like this outside of the game feel so messy and poorly executed. It’s a downgrade to the overall user experience, and it didn’t have to be this way.

As a PS5 Player im realy sad right now.
No EA Access for my purchases on the platform of my choice and no xMtx.
Oh boi.

-edit

Nvm just got EA Access on both platforms.
Just semi sad now :).

I only use steam and pc yet the client crashes without any error information when trying to access the character select screen...

it's not their fault, Sony fucking hate cross platform and has been dug in on this for a while.

Huh? He was wrong in the first place, cross-progression wont work for PS5-PC but cross-play will work, think people are getting confused.

I think you might be the one confused.

Cross-progression and cross-play works across PC, Xbox Series S/X, and PS5.

MTX purchases made on PS5 will not be available on PC and Xbox, and also for the other way around, purchases on PC and Xbox will not be available on PS5.

Question about merging accounts:

I had to make another account for Settlers of Kal, because steam was given me a hard time recovring my account, but now i have both my account; from 2013 and one made in 2024-

Can you also merge Two PC accounts? :}


Edit- Just seen reply from GGG- I will submit a support ticket

GGG very disappointed with how this discriminator system has been implemented.

OG accounts should have had the option to choose their numbers or had 0000 or 0001 applied.

What the hell sort of connection do I have with #3750!?

Just wanted to say:

Other games with cross save ( psn exclusive skins) are available on pc.

I rather spend 100€ on poe 2 then buying all over again.

I´ll probably move on. GGG u fuk around to much,we all know u always sht on psn users. it was and will be always like this.
