Got home from my week long vacation, super excited to finally get some EQ2 in and start the RAF process and had my friend send me an invite, I got it and paid for the account without logging in. Sent an invite to my second character, made an account for that one and logged in to test it out and my characters weren't linked!! I'm not sure what went wrong in the process, so I'm going to call Sony this morning in a bit and find out if they can fix it for me
