Ok, so here's where it gets weird, then.... account "FFXIV 1" was added September 3 2010. Account "FFXIV 2" was added Sept 22, 2010. Wtf? Also, sometimes when I click the "cancel" button, it says the account is not registered. I go back, hit refresh, click again, and it has the date. WHUT?!

EDIT!

It's crazy how many people I personally know have to log into their second account by default because of SE's odd instructions. From what I remember the above seems to be the reason why a lot of people have two accounts in the first place.
Ooooohh, ok well at least that part seems to make some sense...
