when can 1.0 players log in?

Hi Guys, I Pre ordered and ready to go with EA Now i know E access starts saturday 24. today in uk at 00.00 will i be able to log in or will there be a wait time or an official lunch hour.

Early access starts 2AM PDT/10AM GMT for everyone. It's announced on the launcher.

FOr 1.0 users I believe SE is working o a backup option for a current install point (to that point of updates) in order to later install. Just have to wait to it is available in the S E account area.

You can back up all files in the folder structure and place it back on a system, install the installer interface, and it will re-establish the registry info and update files as needed after a check.

I backed up the FFXIV folder where i installed the game.
Is there a way i can avoid downloading the 6gb+ of data?
Can i download the launcher and point it to where the FFXIV folder is ?

Download and reinstall the base ffxiv (109MB) file then copy the files from your backup and overwrite the new ones you installed. Small update and job done

5 AM for me. Way to early to be waking up on a Saturday. I think I will sleep in some before I play.

But a friend of mine told me that 1.0 players would play on Sept 9-10
Is this true?
Thanks

I'd find new friends

Will v1.0 players have crowd the servers w/ new players to setup a subscription plan at mogstation on 27 Aug?
I'm hoping we can enter the game straight, and have until 9 Sep to setup the subscription plan.
