I am grateful we will be able to play until August 30 which gives us time to adjust to the proper set up. thanks.

Now - add on question - what will happen with our characters / saved progress etc. if we'll (for whatsoever reason) will be unable to enter the code on August 30th? Lets say we'll only receive our package next week on Monday or Tuesday and enter the code then. Is the progress saved and if yes for how long during the account "inactivity"? What about if my friend wants to take a brake after Early access for about a week to concentrate on school and enter the code around let's say 7 or 8 September. Will that retain all the progress?

Also to which TIME exactly you need to enter the code on August 30th? Considering all the time zones involved as well as end or start of the day the "August 30th" can actually span accross up to 47 hours??

Thanks in advance for reply Bayohne (or anyone else with official info on above).

See you all soon in Eorzea!

Yeah if they run it like XI, back when it came out I believe it stored for 3 months of inactivity, then 6 months, and now I don't think they erase at all anymore, I would imagine they wouldn't be erasing at all with this game either.

Also I doubt there is any specific time you -need- to enter your code on the 30th, since the game comes out on the 27th, I'm pretty sure you can register at any point from the 27th and on. They're just giving some breathing room for those that happen to not get their physical copies on the 27th.

After you've installed the game, you won't need your disc inside the system to play!

BAM! TITAN'D!

Cheers!

Thank you for the info xD

Hi Bayohne, im a 1.0 player and i had been playing beta up to phase 4 and i know i will be into EA > game without problem, but since i'm 1.0 player i don't have the "ARR game" itself
So in the future, if i need to replace my pc or thing like that, is there a way for me to download the game again ? or should i go ahead and buy one just in case........

THANK YOU for the good work you guys did ^^

Is there any way to move a registered service account to another master account? I had the FFXIV ARR 1.0, then bought the pre-order of 2.0 to get headtstart. But I wanted my brother to use the new 2.0 service account. unfortunately I registered the 2.0 service account to my master account, which overwrote my 1.0 account. I want to move the 2.0 service account to my brothers master account, yet retain my 1.0 account. Please advise.

That's it. Getting "TITAN'D!" is TOTALLY now a (Forum) Status Effect. Spread the word.

does anyone know if you have to set up a payment play for the early access?

You don't.

Non-1.0 (new) players have until the 30th to apply a product code from the box, which gives them an extra 30 days.
1.0 players (legacy or not), have until the 10th to apply either a product code from the PS3 version (which will give them an extra 30 days) or payment information of some sort (cc / time card / crysta).
And since nothing is required to play until those dates (aside from pre-ordering or being a previous player), you're fine...

Now wait a minute.

Physical bundle people have a "full retail registration code" they have to enter by the 30th.

So what about electronic versions? I just realized there are no mention of such a code at all.
The only code given to us (for example I bought at Square Enix NA eStore) is the 18-digit preorder code.
After we redeem that, we get the 20-digit code which grants us the "preorder bonuse ingame items".

And that have been it, with no indication on our secure account management that we own the collector's editions items.

When and how are the digital collector's edition players going to get this "full retail registration code"?

Hello, I have a somewhat related question, please.

How do multiple FFXIV services on the same SE account work with logging in on the same client?
I have 2 accounts registered, but I use the same SE account login for both to get into the game client, but it doesn't ask which service to pick after that.
