Changes to Path of Exile's Account System

Timing?

So can I play my PS4 POE acct on PC? T the hard drive failed and needs replaced by Sony, which will take 2-3 months

So when I merge Xbox and Steam accounts and have 2 sub-accounts and later ask support to transfer all the mtx from the Xbox sub-account to the other one, what happens when I buy another mtx on Xbox again? To which sub-account does it go? Will I not be able to transfer them again since it is a one-time action?

Lets go

Q: If my account is permanently banned in Path of Exile 1, will I be able to use it in Path of Exile 2?

A: No, you will have to create a new account.

is that even allowed under the TOS? i thought that is ban evasion. otherwise, pathofmatth could just have made a new account and carry on. or is it ok because it's different games?

He's reformed, don't hate.

This is not fair to say, it is because of Sony not GGG. I'd put money on it you actually don't play this game either.

If someone wants to merge their PS and PC account why can't you just add their PS mtx to their account? It's got nothing to do with Sony at that point, they have no say in you effectively gifting the player what they've rightfully purchased, but onto the merged account.

Why are you sending it to sony? You can change the hdd on a ps4 in a couple minutes with a youtube guide.

Whilst I've not seen the contracts, and so this is all a best guess, I fully expect this is entirely Sony PS T&Cs imposed on GGG and therefore outside their control. I also expect GGG have asked for an exception and been told "no".

Sony are notorious for wanting their percentage of PS-related sales, and prohibiting use elsewhere would not be surprising. Gifting to PS users seems at least likely to involve giving Sony a cut now of a PC transaction long past, which sounds commercially difficult for GGG, but more likely is just not possible even if GGG wanted to, as Sony may require the sale to be via PS not simply being written a cheque. This would seem like fairly standard corporate behaviour to me.

I would also expect GGG to be bound by confidentiality as part of the contract, so they can't tell us. Since that's common enough in contracts with such companies, esp. when they have such leverage over their platform/product.

So excited for the new changes and ofc for Po2

"Unfortunately, any purchases made on PlayStation platforms cannot be used on other platforms, and purchases made on other platforms cannot be used on PlayStation platforms. Note that these purchases can still be on the same sub-account, but the microtransactions will be marked as unavailable when viewing them in your stash."

I have xbox and I test POE1 before POE2 (about 3-4 weeks ago). I like game and was told that microtransactions pass to POE2. So I buy 200 coins. I just buy PS5 for a POE2 before delay.

It's possible to get a refund 200 coins to use them on account on PS5 if is not possible? Or I just lose money before EA?
