Hello everyone,
I've got an issue with my PS3 accounts. Yes, I've got two of them and now I want to get rid of one of them buuut....
Both accounts are used on one console.
1st Account - connected to DUST since the beta and because of me being a EVE player no Plus Membership is needed
2nd Account - connected to DUST for the last few days. No PS Plus member either.
As long as my PS3 is activated/ registered at Sony's both accounts can be used for playing DUST but as soon as I deactivate the PS3 under the 1st account's management and activate it under the second account the PS3 tells me that the license has to be renewed and I'm forwarded to the store where I have two choices:
Paying 0.99c to play the Demo or becoming a Plus Member.
My questions are:
Why doesn't DUST work with my second account even though it has already been used for playing DUST and is connected to a legit DUST account? And why do I have to pay for a game that is avertised to be free to play?
More importantly: If I paid the 0.99c would I be able to play the full game or would it really be just a demo? Or do I have to be Plus Member with my second account to play DUST and to get rid of my first account?
I'm totally confused. I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance. |

Dust characters are tied to your PSN account. I don't think you will ever be able to have 2 dust accounts under the same PSN account(3 characters per account).
CCP might be able to merge them to one PSN account but if you leave it on 2 PSN accounts you will gain passive SP on both instead of just one. |

For me it seems that also the client is connected to the PSN account.

You might be right. Wouldn't even make much sense in my opinion. But this hasn't even been my intention. I would just like to play DUST with my second PSN account without having to rely on my first PSN account to do so. (or having to become a PS Plus Member)
Anyone has an idea if the PS Plus Membership is a requirement in order to play DUST? |

I just checked the DUST 514 website, the FAQ and the manual. Not a single word about having to be a Playstation Plus Member in order to play DUST 514. But when trying to download it in the PSN Store it is absolutely necessary to be member.
So even though DUST itself is f2p, the whole "shhh, don't ever tell the customers a single word about the membership!" is really not the right way to advertise for a product that isn't actually free of charge at all. But that's something for the feedback section on the forums I guess. 
Never the less it seems that I'll have to rely on my first account if I don't want to start all over again.
Also thank you all for your help.  |

The game does store some save data on the hard drive, this may be related. You can safely delete the save(you will lose settings but that's all) to see if that will fix your problem.
Submit a ticket to CCP to see what they can do. At the very least they should be able to clarify what's going on(the game is definitely free to play, no need for PS+ so you've run into an oddity). |

Tried the first one including attempt to reinstall the client. Still have to buy the Demo or have to be PS+.
Next step - ticket. |

UPDATE
Found the information needed. In my country the government has the opinion that it's necessary to protect their citizens from evil badass killer games like DUST and therefor a persons majority has to be proven prior to get the game. Because of that you have to deposit credit card information on the playstore and pay said 99c. But in return you get the client of course and 2000 Aurum so money is at least spent for the game. I can live with that I think.
Anyways, thank you for your help! Could you tell us in what country you live?
