When Early Access started, I found out my pre-order code was invalid. Still, being patient, I dealt with it. Luckily, I had a second pre-order code from cancelling the SE to get the CE.
When my CE finally came in, I read everything I could in the one-sheet manual and figured, since it was a PSN 12-character code, that I should enter it into the PSN. It wasn't like I recieved actual directions.
After entering my code, I found out that a second service account was created. I sent in a ticket on Tuesday morning. It was deleted.
No sweat, I thought, I'll call them on Wednesday. I spent 2 hours on hold before being forced off the phone because I had to go to work early in the AM.
While at work on Thursday, I called customer service. I stayed on hold for almost 5 hours until I talked to a person. Together, we filled out a new ticket to ensure that my account would be repaired, with the CE items on account #2 being merged into account #1, with my character and pre-order items.
Friday morning, 7am, I log into the support page to check upon my ticket, to find out it was marked "response required." I looked everywhere, but found NO WHERE, to enter a response. After reloading the page, my ticket was deemed "closed." I checked Mog Station but my account was still split in two. I went to work, figuring it would be fixed while I was busy.
I got home and my ticket was still closed, my account still split in two. I waited in the live chat queue all night, to never reach a human. My ticket is still closed. My account is still split in two.
My patience has worn thin. I looked forward to THIS WEEKEND all during early access, when all I could do was create a character, because the servers were full. I got to play early in the mornings, and maybe for an hour after work. I figured that, as a paying customer, they'd give a statement and extend early access due to their poor direction on how to redeem the codes. Nope, SE is silent. People are angry because they're silent. People can't play during an extended weekend because of a minor error caused by confusion over Square Enix's horrid directions. I feel that we have every right to be angry. Telling people to calm down does nothing more than make the situation worse, as it feels very patronizing. We're angry, let us vent.
