Sorry you misunderstand me, he is still getting the game for free, collector's item bonuses and was allowed into beta 3 and 4. The issue is people who bought 1.0 and paid for less than 6 months are not allowed into the early access.

This comes up because Non legacy folks insist otherwise on their agenda. IF anything, we legacy folks have kept extremely quiet since few topics ago.
So ignore it. Be the bigger collective person! It takes two sides to argue.

Yet nowhere on their own site did they say to wait for an email. Just that code redemption was scheduled to begin on the 20th.

LOL, I just gave my opinion on a forum and I got the whole Legacy Squad on me, not posting more on this subject
You might want to level a little more before venturing into a difficult place.
Can't allow misinformation to be spread.
And on top of that they changed the site from saying come back later to please enter your code today. Registration started today, but they screwed it up, which really isnt surprising considering how horrid their account systems have been in the past.
Yeah, and that's fine, I get that. But acting like it's some kind of impossible insurmountable hurdle to start fresh on a legacy server is ridiculous as demonstrated by basically every other MMO that hasn't done what ARR is doing. What next, you're going to tell people not to play the game once an expansion comes out since the whole server will be at max level?
What misinformation? Someone with a different opinion than you is not "spreading misinformation."
At the very least, SE has basically acknowledged that the site is supposed to be working right now, but have only publicly admitted that it's having server congestion. You would think a responsible company would've yanked the preorder page and put up a page explaining that they're working on an error (the one giving NA players EU codes) instead of continuing to let this spiral out of control, as most people who manage to get through the congestion are probably then creating support tickets for their invalid code.

He may be a bit defensive and using bad analogies, but it's not really misinformation. No need to be so harsh.

Hey guys, is anybody else missing registered games on their members pages? All of my SE registered games are missing from my members profile 
When I try to change http://eu.square-enix.com/members to http://na.square-enix.com/members, I'm getting an ERROR_404_DESCRIPTION page.
No need to be sorry And I think you are correct with regard to early access with the exception that those who pre-order the game will also get early access; however, this is proving to be an issue for the time being as well.

I was never directed to that page (ordered through amazon) so I would have never known it existed if you (and others) hadn't posted it.
I was only ever linked to http://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com, which has now changed. Prior to today though, it was simply a page that asked for your email address and stated that when SE was ready to redeem pre-order codes, they would email me.
Since that email has yet to arrive, I have yet to redeem my code and that appears to have been a good call (Though SE is still at fault for opening that site/redirecting the above pre-order link before they were ready).
You can't say "just pretend the mmo didn't just launch with fresh servers". Yes you can survive on establishes servers in any mmo, but people prefer the experience of fresh servers and the option to be on them with all the perks that are there over the perks of being on an established server. I guarantee you everyone that's been playing WoW for 5 years wants to be on a fresh server. They know the pros and cons clearly. Like me, but unfortunately, all my friends are legacy and I'm obligated to go that route.
Edit: If this was WoW 2 and I could have all my characters on a Legacy server, and I saw a bunch of new servers, I'd roll on a new server for the new server experience and xfer my toons over when I could. And I'd tell noobs they are better off on a new server.

Yeah, the problem seems to be that now that it's changed, the people that prordered today are being sent to it, instead of the email one. That and GMG emailing people saying it was open as well.

The problem is that the link has perpetuated itself around the internet, so someone found it somehow. Now I'm not saying that people shouldn't have waited for the email, but I can see how things just get out of hand.
Somehow? That's the link that's in the e-mail I got from Amazon over a month ago.
Not to mention putting in your e-mail was optional.

I stand corrected. I was talking about the page that said the 20th, not the preorder one.

It is when the news gets posted right to your cell inbox!
The process is such a mess but do we have any way of knowing if 1.0 non-legacy folks can buy a second copy and use the pre-order code to play over early access with their 1.0 (or phase 4) accounts?
Guessing it'll register it as a second account (so no) but would welcome someone more knowledgeable chiming in, assuming an answer is known.

I bet they'll just wipe the keys and have people re-register.

Honestly I think it was the best call on S-E's part. Just a bummer how it can separate online communities into two halves.

Oh hey, are there any other sites out there similar to http://www.ffxivguild.com/ that delve into the theorycrafting/guides of the game?

We're aware that some NA users are receiving EU-region codes and are working to address that as well. We'll be sure to keep you updated.

I do wonder why they favored it. Eidos had a better set up? Differing to ex-Eidos for all non-Japanese stuff? Either way this way of merging seems like a mess and a bad time to do it given it seemed to forget all of our games.
4 tweets to get a point across, and you have to read them down to up from the website.
How do you even access support chat? The XIV support page only shows me email as an option.

I can understand the decision from an economy stand point I mean there are alot of legacy people who even after the gil decrease have millions still and it would flood the market. I mean in the past phase I made roughly a million and a friend of mine made nearly 10 million right off the start.
They have a phone number you can call although they don't make it easy to find or access.
Oooooooh.
To be honest i'm not sure how this is giving people so much trouble. The only thing that was confusing back in the day was the crysta stuff, but thats long done with the inclusion of standard card payments and timecards. Now as far as SE website errors go, thats another story, but registration itself should be pretty straightforward. Same with the difference between Legacy accounts and Legacy characters.
Wow, I didn't think folks would be playing the market already. It felt more like everyone just figuring things out and playing the hell out of Arcanist. Maybe not!
That's the main SE account website where you sign in with your SE ID. I spoke to them the other day.

I found a phone number for SE support by digging around the XI info, but I imagine they're closed now anyway.
I guess I'll just sit tight for now but it's really bugging me that they gave me a code for the wrong version.
lol well my comment wasn't meant as an insult more of a joke as that forum is like the definition of the worst.
There is no point in calling them really. If you don't live in the Us it is long distance as well. Alot of people got wrong codes they will address it I am sure.

Have we heard anything about PS4 version of this game ?
I kinda have lost track of it and I see amazon is already taking preorders for it. is that releasing this year?

What? Aren't legacy members automatically in early access? I'm legacy and only paid 3 months.
Edit.
Players Who Have Fulfilled the Requirements of the Legacy Campaign
Players who have fulfilled the requirements of the Legacy Campaign will be able to take part in early access and play before the official start of service.
