I have the hard copy of FF14 1.0 collectors, and I haven't received any information on if I am able to get early access. I don't know if I am able to play ARR because there is little to no information about this topic. I have seen the bonus items that I qualify for and it is nice, but I just want to be able to play the game.
I am seriously considering just re-buying the game because I feel that I wont be able to play the game, I tried to subscribe but the site does not have anything for that either. Can anyone give me some information on what I am suppose to do to play ARR? I would think that the people that supported FF14 from the get go would have top priority, but it seems SE cares more about sales than taking care of their supporters.
I really wish the FF14 ARR site was actually useful. It is the worst website for any MMO I have ever played because you get lost in it and can't ever find out simple things. I found that 1.0 owners were to have a date when they could play, but 1 day before early access there is still no information. IF SQUARE-ENIX CARES ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS! Multiple E-mails about this issue are always unresolved with generic replies.
Do 1.0 owners get early access? Or even get to play at all?

Only if you were legacy, or purchased the ARR collectors edition you would get early access. Just having the 1.0 means you get the free download of ARR for release date.

You will automatically get the digital Collector's items.Quote:

You don't get early access.
You only get early access if:
- You're legacy player (check that in account management, you will have icon near FF XIV service if you're)
- Pre-ordered 2.0
You will be able to play for free stating 27.08 till 09.09 though if you owned 1.0. You also get all in-game items of 2.0 CE. -
08-24-2013, 02:15 AMRuriOh I thought it was CE got early access too, guess I didn't verify since I was legacy anyways. Thx for clarifying my clarifying edit!Quote:

Alright that clarifies things pretty good. I never saw anything about being able to or not. Now I just have to decide if I want to spend the money to play this weekend and Monday lol. I assume you get the two in game items for pre-ordering as well then.
