Is there any definitive way to be sure you are all set for early access?

[Calastir]

No the servers are not up, the game servers to be more specific. You can d/l the patch in order to prep you for EA. Some people are getting confused between Game Client and Installer. You use installer to d/l the game client and other or upcoming patches.

@BKPiazaa: its not bad info, don't dont read enough and understand correct terminology.

You just clearly said people couldn't download the game. Seems to me you are the only confused person here.

can you quote me on that to where i said that plz?

[Calastir]

You do know that EA starts on the 24th right? that means the server won't be up until that time, which therefore you cannot d/l the game cliet until their server is up. It will notifiy you for the EA codes to be entered when you first log in (according to the EA instructions sent via mail.).

Right here.

Since the patch and login servers have in fact been up all day you can download your launcher and the complete game client if you have early access.

You also said if your patcher says "maintenance" youre good...which is bad info.

And can you d/l the game a.k.a play the game as of now? if that statement is false under your perception?

lol downloading the game and playing the game are two different terms xD Downloading DOES NOT equal playing. Just staphhh trying to defend your statement....just staphhhh. Just admit you gave bad info and let it go......let it go....

This isn't a matter of perception. You wrote words, and we read them. Your words were incorrect. Now would you kindly leave my thread?

Bad info spreads to everyone that are unaware/misinformed. The more threads are made about this the more threads that actually have the correct info get shafted to the bottom and people are misinformed.

The only way you can check to my understanding and what I've read on this forum is that if your client has a blacked out play button with the early access/or launch of game on top of it you're good to go.

This is true!! I just tested it. I'm not pre-ordering my game till tomorrow so have no early access at the moment. Once I logged in with the client I got sent to a new page saying:

No valid or active service account is available to play Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.

Then proceeds to give you the link to register your code at the Mog Station.

This was on PC right?

You could thank Calastir, he was the one that first informed me along with some others on a seperate thread.
