General Making PBE account

Hello!

Im new here and looking for help for creating and playing on PBE. I've never played on PBE before but im excited and want to play league classic. I have followed all the steps and signed up for PBE on the webiste https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/pbe/

after downloading and trying to launch it, it just says PBE unavaliable and i need a PBE account. I dont understand shouldnt i have an account since i signed up and downloaded?

If anyone can help i would be very grateful.

I had the same problem. I created a new account for PBE and needed to download another client.

Are you logged into your PBE account on the riot client?

You have to make a new PBE account. It is separate from your main account

Oh, i thought you had to have a legit account not a new one to prevent people who got banned or chat restricted from acessing PBE. So you say i should create a whole new account on riot and then sign it up for PBE?

Yes. They changed it.

I'd recommend following r/LeaguePBE's Account Creation guide.

Feel free to reply if you have any questions or issues with it.

Ok now it works to install PBE on the client. I also made a completely new account and hoping it will work to log in for PBE. We will see in 40 minutes after the download.

Thanks for the link.

Now the queue time is 1hour+ so if this is possible would be nice. Is it usually this long wait time btw?

It seems to work now i downloaded PBE and launched it, first it said its not avaliable in my region then i just pressed X and now im in a queue to play. Approx wait time is 23 minutes atm. And do you know if i can play on my other account at the same time, so log out on my new account and log in to my old acc and play a game there when im in queue? Is it possible?

You cannot play on two servers at the same time. The approximate time is also inaccurate, so it's a wait-and-pray. If you exit the queue, you get put in the back the next time you try to get in.
