I've gone on there, selected 180 days and applied it. It shows as:
In my list of subscriptions on the old site (that it links you to if you click one of the links to check the subscription). Will I not get the stuff until the 10th?
FATEs from level 20 on is the fastest right now.
I am getting the 'full' error but I can get into queue after a dozen or so tries... much better than it was a few days ago
Same situation here - I have a friend on Shiva (EU) who I can't play with, because they've stopped allowing character creation. And there isn't a single EU server with character creation open. I have the choice between 2 NA servers, or a JP server. All the while, I'm losing my play time.
Question is - Do I risk creating a character on a JP server and hoping they offer free server transfers when it's all resolved. No way am I paying for a transfer after this debacle.

When you get to the top of the bridge, go straight for the Roeg. Mage. He will go down fast. Focus on the beast when he spawns and pull/turn him so that his attacks are directed away from the NPCs. Once the beast is dead, just finish off the adds. Easy peasy.

FATEs such as a CNJ though. You get squat for healing people and don't have any burst damage so getting Bronze is pretty much a given.
The way around that is to party, which means you can't use the Duty Finder.
FATEs trump everything. Not remotely close if your first class. 1st time Guildhest beat FATEs, subsequent Guildhests are ABYSMAL. On your second class Dungeons are close to FATE, but FATE still wins if you're comparing it to dedicated FATE groups in the good FATE zones.. For dungeons you if you can get chain bonuses it can get absolutely crazy.
You need to do the story missions and most dungeons to progress to the end game content. You can't skip it, so why not do it while it's level appropriate? The leveling speed in this game is blazing fast, I don't understand why people are willing to make it unfun to level 15% faster. There have been games where I'd cut myself to increase the speed, this is not one of them. I could have hit 50 today if I didn't have to work.
You get points for being on creatures' emnity list, so spam your big AoE heals and try to get aggro.

But if we do manage to create a character on a NA server, then we're stuck either way if it keeps being overcrowded?
Don't think I can pay right away.
Here's what it looks like on the Mog Station under Account Services.
Hm, my MogStation account page doesn't look like that at all. Am I supposed to get another code from SE at some point prior to the 3-day grace period being done?

Where's a good place for FATES at level 22?
You just need a party. Based oon party contribution, you get a base medal at this point. After that, you add in a few hits, even if it's just Aero or Stone and you'll get gold every time.
I ran mostly fates from early 20s through 40 (current level) and have had little to no issue with getting credit for FATEs. Just make sure you are partied up.
I also think just spamming Medica might help to boost your FATE rank, but I'm not 100% positive on that one. I'd have to test it a bit to make sure.
Highbridge!
I don't actually know firsthand, I'm only level 18. I just know about it from people talking about it on the FC chatter all the time.

That's what I have been trying but
Mylla
Even tried giving her a few heals but that doesn't help much.

Eastern Thanalan --> South Shroud are probably the best bet for your level. It will be much faster in a group because you will get credit for anything tagged by anyone.
The missions have me killing shrews and hornets but the kills aren't counting.
Ultros but it's been hella hard to log on. There's some servers that are less populated apparently.
Today there were 199 people from the gaf free company logged on at one point.
Well it looks like I won't be playing today since it's going to take me about 19 hours to download the client at the speed it's currently at. Hopefully when I finally get a chance to play I can pick Ultros.
Edit: Is there a torrent perhaps that I can use to download the client?

Is all your gear up-to-date, including jewelry/accessories? The adds on the way to the top should die in like 2-3 hits each. Make sure you kill them on the way instead of running straight to the top. Mylla should have plenty of life left by the time you reach the top of the bridge and the mage will go down really fast. After the mage is down, take out some of the adds while you wait for the beast to spawn. You get a 'Power of the Echo' buff or something like that, so you should be doing a lot of damage.
Keep trying for the next few minutes, the :50 is coming up, that's when I've gotten on every time.

0 on the numpad works as enter for the client so you don't have to click. You can just mash 0 to keep retrying
You need a grand company chocobo before you can use any other mount, yeah.

You have to have your Chocobo license which requires you to join a Grand Company for the quest and then get 2000 seals to buy it.

You should get a game code. I dont think SE has sent theirs out yet. I'm sure Amazon has, and I have seen reports that GMG has.

Just got home...1017 wall.
As someone looking in on this whole thing from the outside, Yoshi isn't to blame here. Yoshi took a complete abomination of a game and turned it into a solid and respectable MMO in a matter of two years. That alone is nothing short of amazing. Who is to blame here is their network team who should have had the foresight to implement a real queue system and an AFK timer as those are needed to insure people can actually get into the servers. It's pretty ballsy of them to put such immediate effort into the JP servers when there's far, far less people on those than NA/EU. They're not allocating their resources correctly and this is going to hurt them. I understand their reservations to not want to spend the money on extra servers cause it'll leave some of the eventual lower pop servers high and dry and they'll have to merge/close them later anyways. It ends up being a catch-22...do you keep a small amount of servers now to keep costs down but piss of your users and potential users and then lose out on their money or do you bite the bullet, put in more servers and then merge later?
Yup...straight up hyper-bowl right there.

So I pre-ordered and thought I were supposed to get a Moogle Hat and a Minion but am I supposed to get a 20-digit code through email or in the box?
When I try logging in to Lodestone it also gives me this message:
"Use of the Lodestone requires a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account with at least one character.
Please log-in again after you have created a character in-game."
But I have been playing with my character for the past couple of hours.

You do what you can to keep as many people playing / paying your game in the present.
Theyre good for random XP or just fucking around but Id hate it if I used it as my primary XP tool. Dungeons might be slower XP but youre in a tighter knit group and theyre just more fun to do, imo.

someone posted earlier in the thread that in order to get their code from their order on the SE store they had to do a google search for "Square Enix store history", then log into that page, and they were able to find both their pre-order, and actual game code from there.
Edit: here's his post

I totally agree on the queue system and posted about it earlier here. It's causing a lot of undue frustration. The AFK timer is easily circumvented and really only a short-term solution that will later become an inconvenience. I do like Wolven's idea of implementing an AFK timer that becomes active only when concurrent users reach a certain threshold.
It's already been confirmed that they are adding servers and beefing up their data centers. These improvements will not be in place until later this week or early next week.
