Registering a Payment Method before Early Access and Release Day?

[Smashington]

Will players be required to register a payment method to their SE account before being able to play on the 24th and 27th?

For 1.0 players the first month will be free, but it is my understanding that not all players will be receiving a free month. Also, just because the first month is free, that does not mean that a payment method will not have to be linked to your account before playing.

During the launch of 1.0, players had the option to pre-register their payment method, so that the payment method registration server would not become overloaded at launch.

Will preregistration become available before the 24th?

An official statement from SE concerning payment method registration would help alleviate the concerns of many players.

The FFXIV:Mog Station isn't live yet, so no you can't register any payment information yet for FFXIV.
You'll have to wait a little bit longer, the Lodestone and the forums will most likely update with details on this, so keep a watchful eye.

Most likely when launch date and the Moggle Station management system goes live you will have up to 2 weeks to register a payment method as that is the lowest amount of days any account can play without a payment.

I remember on beta forums there was a post about bonus stuff you get for playing for certain amounts of time ex 30day sub 60day sub 90day sub?? any info on that?

1.0 players do not get a free month unless they repurchase the game, from my understanding. They do, however, get the game free and fourteen days for free (September 9th).

I'm sure a week or two after launch they'll at least have something up by then for 1.0 players that wish to continue their subscription but weren't able to put in their information before. That's when the opportunity will open up as well for the rest of the players.

(Just guessing.)

Only if you buy for PS3.

14 days are for ALL returning players, however.

You cannot repurchase the game as it is anyway. They won't let you replace the existing code.

From my understanding:
new players - 1 month free
v.1. accounts - 2 weeks free

There was a similar question here http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...26th-till-27th that asked a different question but the information I gave them over there should help you out with your concerns.

I found this on reddit and, apparently, people who start up the launcher right now and haven't registered for early access are getting messages after less than a minute of waiting and one of the lines says:

"Users participating in early access must also complete registration by August 30,2013. Using the code enclosed with your package, please complete registration through the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station."
