I am unable to link my SQUARE-ENIX MEMBERS ID to my SQUARE-ENIX Account because whenever I try to log in to the Members site using my SQUARE-ENIX Account information, it brings me to this page: https://membership.square-enix.com/users/edit, and refuses to save my "Nickname" because it claims it is already taken.

It will claim that "ANY" Nickname is already taken even if it's a random string of letters and numbers and I am unable to proceed to the registration page for FFXIV early access.

I have already gone to Square-Enix support and put in a ticket and waited in que for 3 hours at the end of which I was told that no representatives are available and to "please try again later" ...

Can any of the Devs PLEASE help me out? I talked to some friends and apparently I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.
