I feel your sorrow as am I suffering from the same dilemma. Of the early day access, I was able to login for no longer than 8 hours and rest were spent waiting. I have built a PC specifically for this game and I'm a man who seldom pre-purchase a game. And this is the type of problem hinders me from doing so. What makes this even more ridiculous is that this version of FF14 is a redemption to the FF community and so far I it is not looking good. Although, Day 1 on most MMO will suffer these types of problems and we'll look at this and laugh in the future and even forget about it but it certainty did tarnished the FF online brand for me forever.
