it's unavaiable as of right now, they may need to work on expanding servers, before they let more people in, which sucks, since i want a few of my friends to join the server to play with me

So by
"We have experienced a problem a short while ago, whereby the Early Access PC redemption code for the North American market was not being issued.

This has now been fixed. We apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.",
have they actually SENT the codes out?
I haven't even gotten my actual registration code, much less my pre-order one...

From my understanding, this is due to the duty quest server getting borked somehow.

So will they open up Hyperion on the primary launch day? All my FFXI friends are on there! I dont really have any interest in playing if I can't join my friends.

Looking for some people to play with, I don't think any of my friends from 11 are coming to XIV just yet. I haven't joined a server or named my character yet since the NA servers are down. Let me know! :)

Also, can someone explain the difference between a normal and legacy server?

Characters from 1.xx start of legacy servers. Not all 1.xx players are Legacy players though.

"Normal" servers do not have people with everything at L 50 and a bazillion gil.

Along with non legacy 1.xx players, yes.

Servers are back up, how long are servers typically restricted from joining? It's just to keep population even right?

I am having troubles finding the download. I look up my order like they say to and look for the download button (as they said to do). The only download there is is for a .pdf that has a few sentences about how to register for early access.

Anyone know what I am missing? Thanks.

Edit: and yeah I neglected to say that I bought it from SE.

Edit2: Finally found it:

So I ordered the collectors addition to get the helm of light, the mount, the behemoth barding and the minion, the only code I got after ordering it from amazon was for the early access and it only says something about the cait sith minion and the mog cap. Do we get a seperate code at some point?

Maybe, I did the same and got the same. People have been saying you cant redeem that stuff until launch so maybe when it launches we'll get something for that? I hope at least. I want that Mount!

After a bunch of digging I found this:

"The items will be delivered to you via Moogle Letter when ARR launches."

Found it at this site.
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/08/10/real-reborn-collector-edition-25-off-deal/

So I'm guessing they mean when ARR full releases. So the 27th I guess. We will find out.

No.

It means that anyone who pre-ordered FFXIV ARR either from Sqenix, Amazon, Gamestop etc will not get their pre-order bonus items til launch. Nor can they redeem collector's edition bonus codes... Which shouldn't even be out yet.

>_> Just deal with it and wait lol
