Ok. After a bit of confusion I THINK I am all set.
This AM I went to http://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com/ and entered my pre-order code (that is the site the pre-order confirm emails have or at least did for me). I then got my early access code after completing the pre-order registration.
After reading a couple of posts back, I went to http://na.square-enix.com/us/home (the link on the earlier post was to the eu site so i swapped eu to na). After logging in I saw FF XIV listed but still couldn't 'log in' (up to the point of seeing 'please wait until ea starts).
but after trying to log in the launcher popped up a new window which gave me a link to https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/Login?cont=account (I think...I didn't bookmark it) where I was able to register my early access code that the pre-order registration gave me (not the pre-order code itself as that had already been registered)
Now after the launcher fires, I see the 'please wait until ea starts' message so...I think I'm good to go.
Mine says "Please wait until the start of the early access period or official launch to access the game". I'm assuming that's what all the rest of you are getting?
Originally posted by forcelima Originally posted by Reizla I get a message that my account service is not available to play. Odd since I have a FFXIV 1.0 account...
I am also a 1.0 owner and I have a ps3 version too (accounts are linked) with a EA code that was registered but I'm getting this message on PC only when I try to log in
"No valid or active account is available to play final fantasy xiv: a realm reborn"
Similar problem. Pre-order code registered, 2nd code received and registered via the PS3 - it shows up under my service account.
I'm betting: EA only applies to PS3, PC access restored on the 27th -- as much sense as that makes.
I'm hoping the Mog Station clears up all of this; unfortunately, it doesn't come online until the 27th.

Yes - basic character transfer should be live in a few weeks. Legacy character transfers at a much later date (due to in-game economy balance).
Yes - there will be a "barber shop" for changing basic appearence options in the 2.1 update.

As soon as I was able to register my 18 digit code (it was listed as Serial Number/Product Number on the invoice) - it gave me a 12-digit PSN code.
I redeemed the 12-digit PSN code on the PSN Store (Redeem Code) - game is downloading now.
So I know the PS3 download is live, and how I got to it. Past that i can't say much else.

My code was given to me from Game Stop, printed out on the receipt.
And soon the true fun begins.
Still recruiting a few more solid players to round out our FC.
