Did that, added my name, set my country and language.
On the lodestone's main page. The first post right now at 2:02PM-EST (Just in case they update before you see this.) is about Early Access.
"We are pleased to announce that Early Access for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn will begin on Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 2:00 a.m. (PDT)!
* Participants of Early Access are eligible to play straight into official service, which will begin on Tuesday, August 27, 2013.
* Those who have either registered a pre-order code or fulfilled the requirements for Legacy status are eligible to participate in Early Access.
* The game client from Beta Test phase 4 (open beta test) can also be used as the game client for Early Access. You do not need to uninstall the Beta Test phase 4 client and install anything else."
If you really want the EA, you can go to a store that lets you do minimum preorders. (I.E. Gamestop where you can drop five bucks on a preorder.) And then just like, never go pick up the game. Just make sure you check your receipt for the pre-order code before you leave. Or make sure they are still providing them I guess.
Not sure I can hang in there much longer..
