How do I change an EQ2X install to an EQ2 Live one?

[ET3D2]

<p>I bought Sentinel's Fate on D2D, and installed it. I already have an EQ2X account, but didn't have an EQ2 Live one. I though I thought I'd get 30 days of EQ2 Live sub, but from the subscription info on my station account it shows 14-days. Still, I figured I'll try Live to test some more character combinations.</p><p>I remember someone mentioning on the EQ2X forum that he managed to get his EQ2 Live install to work with EQ2X without downloading everything, so I figure it's just as easy the other way round. The only problem is I can't find that post. Anyone knows how I can do that?</p><p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I may be wrong, but I think the thirty days free is for new accounts. New accounts by SoE's standards are new usernames so if you opened the account using your EQ2X username I htink you're out of luck. You could call CS to see if they can do anyhting to help you out.</p><p>Welcome to live <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" /></p>

When you move over your EQ2Live install data files to EQ2X, it actually converts them to the EQ2X format... I don't think the process works in reverse.</p>

<p>I would suggest contacting customer service and explain you accidentaly entered your product key into eq2x and you wanted to open a new account on eq2 live service. Hopefully they can move it over to a new live account for you so you can get your 30 days free and play the game on the real servers.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies. Yes, my purpose was to save time (and possibly space, if I could just move the files between the versions). Unfortunately just installing the EQ2 launcher I get a communication error, so I didn't go through with anything else. I guess I'll just stick to EQ2X for now.</p>
