You wont get your CE items until you get your physical box to put in the codes it gives you.

You account doesn't have a collector's edition status. You account is just a regular one. But after 27th, you'll get an email with the codes to redeem your CE bonus package.

I think we have to wait for the CE status.

I'm somewhat curious of how they're going to determine 1.0 CE owners. I was given a buddy pass around the start of the original game, I have the onion helm on this account as well, but when I tried to add on my actual CE code it split off into a different account instead of being added onto my own account. So is it going to be determined by whoever owns an onion helm, or do the CE 1.0 codes differentiate from the standard 1.0 codes?

Seems like some people have made a lot of mistakes when it came to pre-order.

I'm sorry to say, but since you already have service account, the code needed to register your Collector's Edition will not apply to your existing account. See below:

Im terribly confused.

I bought a Standard, and a CE for PC platform.

I registered the Standard to a new SE account (for my gf)

I registered my CE to my SE account, which has version 1.0 on it. I am a non legacy player, I cancelled before I was even charged one month of service.

From what I understand you can't do what I just did? You cannot register a CE to an account that has/had 1.0 on it?

You need to purchase the CE Digital Upgrade for $19.99, which is available at launch.

My suggestion would be to give your gf the CE account and simply purchase the CE Digital Upgrade on your existing 1.0 account.

Why is this so confusing for people.

The information has all been provided.

Read, and read again.

Correct, but why did it allow me to register my CE code to my account successfully if I shouldn't be able to?

Essentially this means my code is no longer valid to be registered elsewhere and has lost its function?

I believe what you registered was your pre-order codes. Once your physical game arrives, you should be able to register your keys at that time.

So to be clear, as a 1.0 player who purchases a Digital Collector's Edition, we will get a code on August 27th for a CE version of the game. We will also get a link to add this code to our standard 1.0 account. Which would then upgrade us to collector's?

as i was reading here

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...7f335bd8e176d9

Collector's Edition Digital Upgrade Service
The Collector's Edition digital upgrade offers customers the ability to upgrade their standard FFXIV account to Collector's Edition status via the “FFXIV Service Center” website that is scheduled to be opened at the launch of official service, which then grants the in-game bonus items included with the Collector's Edition. Customers in possession of the Collector's Edition for either version 1.0 or A Realm Reborn will receive these Collector's Edition items without needing to purchase the upgrade.
* Characters that have already been created will be able to receive the items.

either we hopefully recive new code of CE on official launch date or the code i recived today will automatically upgrade my account on that day , either way i recived my preorder items on my legacy and it was confirmed

Good to know I actually emailed support because it didn't mention anything about my CE(digital download) status when I registered.

I think it works like this;

1.0 CE = CE Items on the 24th

2.0 CE = CE Items on the 27th

I'm a 1.0 CE, and when I activated my pre-order code, it listed all the items, as well my old ones for the CE. Could be wrong. Going to have to just wait for now. Either way, you'll have your stuff 3 days after the EA, so nothing to worry about.

Oh boy, looks like many people bought things they maybe shouldn't have.

If you have a 1.0 account, Standard or CE, you CANNOT apply another PC code to that account. AT ALL. So if you had 1.0 Standard already, and wanted CE items. You had two ways. Wait for release and get the Digital Upgrade, or get a PS3 CE.

If you wanted to keep your 1.0 account, those are the ONLY two ways to get CE items on them if you had 1.0 Standard.

This is also wrong, no one gets CE OR Pre-order items during Early Access. Everyone has to wait until the 27th. 1.0 CE Owners won't get the moogle mail til the 27th, same as anyone else.
