Before I write my question, This Link is what I am referring to.
I have a question about how I am suppose to carry out my friends codes. They have already purchased the game, received their early-access codes, and are confused (just as I am) on what to do with them at this moment. My friends would like to utilize this feature under my main account (All PC by the way) and also have early-access. Now, I'm not sure if this [early-access] is even possible under this deal but, I am still confused on when this will be implemented or when we will get more information on it (If it has already, please send me to the right place). I feel like it was brought up for that one day and has not seen the light of day since.
My friends and I are in /panic mode because I want them to be able to play and enjoy the game during Early-Access week and also have them under this "plan"/"Deal". Please, if anyone can just fulfill my need for information, I would be very grateful!

I think the way to go for you guys is each person apply them to their own ffxiv service account. For exampe: ffxiv 1 , ffxiv 2 , ffxiv 3 and so forth. I have 4 different ones on my account and we did not all preorder. However we are all legacy so it does not matter. But, I did preorder because I wanted the physical items. PS3 btw. So today I added that to my account. I will get the items on ffixiv 1 and the others in my house will just get EA. If say I had another preorder code and applied it to ffixv2 than they would get items too. We all play at the same time and that works fine. The main thing that link is trying to point out; you can only login to a specific platform one at a time. So if you logged into pc than you could not login to another pc or a ps3 without dropping your login on that one pc. However if someone else logs in on ffxiv2 than your golden, no problems there. I hope that helped clear things up.

Ugh, sorry I am not clear, my head hurts from all the /panic.
Thank you though, you are the first person to at least reply to me. -

There's a lot of fantastic answers compiled in this thread; http://ffxivrealm.com/threads/pre-or...-answers.1082/
This might help too; http://katella.wordpress.com/2013/05...-enix-account/
On a side note, the hat on my character looks incredibly silly. :( -
08-23-2013, 06:03 AMKatamariThank you for the links but, regarding the second one, I don't have what the picture shows. Instead, It just shows my Legacy emblem and "Cancel Service". No Options List or anything else. This is where I am completely confused :( Is there a reason why I don't have the option to redeem a service account?Quote:

I think they plan on us redeeming additional accounts and making changes on the new mog station coming out on the 27th. I might be wrong bu the old se account system is only working for 2 things. Canceling an account and making changes to ffxi account stuff. I got that from an SE person on the phone the other day. Normally you would be able to have ffxiv1 through ffxiv 8 on one account. I see it is for sure not up right now. There was some stuff during beta I remember going to a parked dummy page forget the link, where you put in the code they give you for registering for beta and it make the account for you. Of course that webpage is down and not coming back. I'm still gonna say it is coming with mog station.
Here is a link for it that I have but that might change too.

08-23-2013, 09:38 AMKatamariAlright, looks like you answered some of my questions but, sadly, it brought up some more. But it's not entirely about the service accounts anymore. I registered my friends code onto my account and it's showing up here: http://na.square-enix.com/en/homeQuote:

Also, how does logging into service accounts work? I believe those are my final questions, hopefully you or anyone else can answer these. Thank you by the way, I appreciate it! -

The webpage you linked is the commerce website. It is true they have done some integration with our accounts more than it used to be. It is mostly for bragging rights and to portal you to the online store for purchases via digitalriver. I'm afraid the only way to know for sure is to either verify it via this webpage: https://secure.square-enix.com/accou...rp=Service_SEA or the new Mog Station one when it comes live. The website you linked is not going to be anything account/services related at all. I know while we had the error code 3 thingy going on many people speculated it was because that was listing us as EU accounts. That was not quite the correct issue with that. Honestly that is just a show piece site. It may become something more in the future but I cannot answer that. I know it used to reward you with registering games. I got some art cards from there once free with points I got for redeeming game codes. Not anymore I'm afraid.
I cannot go back into any of my accounts and verify my services either. On windows I can see I have an account and get the cancel button. On ps3 after I did the link I can see the early access and open beta on my services list. That's really all for now. Now SE Support can see a whole lot more. They can be phoned at : 1-858-790-7529

08-23-2013, 11:11 AMKatamariI'll definitely give them a call in the morning to make sure everything is all right. However, I do want to know how logging into a service account works when the game goes live. Will my friends get a notification to choose which account to log into when they log in?Quote:
