That's pretty sleazy.
Preordering just to take promotional items then canceling sounds shady as hell to me.

Not really, I pre-ordered the game...
...in 2011.
Heck, I pre-ordered TWO copies, becasue I wanted the pre-order bonus for the CE and the SE at the time.
And you got your pre-order bonus... in 2011... right? Obviously buying an item once means you're entitled to every future promotion.
And when did you pay for it?

In 2011, when I paid for two copies of the game.
I don't believe you, ARR didn't exist back then, if you bought anything, it was the original 1.0 version, and that didn't entitle you to ARR's early access unless you participated from the Legacy campaign.
And the pre-order bonuses are only for ARR, have nothing to do with 1.0 pre-orders, Legacy or anything like that.

I would not recommend posting an advice on doing such a douchebag move.

Which I did.
I don't know about amazon I tried to pre-purchase from them both the PS3 and PC version and didn't get codes for either so I said screw it canceled went to GMG got my code instantly and it cost me $5 bucks less too

At least put a spoiler tag lol
But dat high ping. EU servers are better for this, right?
No believe me, I know exactly when Dr. Forester paid for the game, which was in 2011.
I had that error too, but kept hitting the submit button. After around 15 tries, it finally went through. Try that.
You replied before I edited to add:

A Realm Reborn? In 2011?
"EU" servers are merely recommended for EU timezones. They're still located in Montreal.

You honestly can't see why people who bought the old game CE even and maybe subbed a few months but just barely missed legacy might be pissed they cant play when almost everyone else gets to?
The fact new players get a headstart on older players that didn't make legacy in time is stupid.
Edit: and if anything people who DID make legacy are supporting the company less in the long run. Sorry.
Thank you.
Ah ok thanks a bunch for the info!

EU servers are in the same location as NA servers aren't they?
So let me understand, i pre ordered the game back in June, then i noticed that the italian Amazon wasn't showing the CE, i went on anoter website and pre-ordered the CE there once i saw the extra contents and that i was interested in having that edition, without even thinking about the pre-order code
now this is stealing?
Is Amazon forcing me to keep the order or had me agreeing on some rules?
people do this all the time, for betas, early access and extra items, come on
...Haven't thought of it that way.
Oh well, No GAF for me then. Still gonna zantetsuken the living daylights out of every instance.

Keep telling yourself that ARR isn't just a completely reworked and remarketed Final Fantasy XIV, and that Square-Enix for a second ever considered trying to sell it to people who bought and supported the original broken vision of the game.

But my purchase of 1.0 entitles me to ARR. Technically, I've had ARR pre-ordered before you did (Unless you also were on the 1.0 train). So thankfully, Square's oversight on this matter is easily rectifiable.

Guys, let's not dwell on this pre-order items business.
If SE want to introduce a way to prevent people from claiming the items (some sort of authentication) in future then they'll do it. Don't need a witch hunt.

I'm a 1.0 CE owner, I'm a Legacy player, I will be an ARR's CE owner in a few days when ShopTp dispatches my box.
No, I don't see how people basically stealing pre-order items and game time, is any different than downloading anything else for free from the internet.
People should stop feeling entitled to things just because they were so close or whatever.

I thought it was about the user getting CE pre-order items by pre-ordering the game and then cancelling when they got the code, not about early access.

Unless there's a limited amount of electro-swag, it doesn't really matter, does it?
I'm preordered and paid-go SE

Apologies in advance for my ignorance, but I have a question if one of you doesn't mind helping me. I've noticed legacy users get early access, right?
I pre-ordered the game a long time ago, when it first came out. Got the CE and all...how do I tell if I have legacy or now?

Early access and the preorder items are tied to the same code.

Legacy is only for people who paid during the 1.0 version of the game, and has nothing to do with people who pre-order ARR.
You likely do not have Legacy status. That is only for people who paid for 3 months of play time during 1.0.
Legacy players already had early access. I did it for the Moogle cap. Woe is me, my pirate heart.

https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/accffxiv go here, log in, click "select service" then click Final Fantasy XIV, and if you are legacy it will say next to your account. Basically if you paid a subscription fee for 3 consecutive months in 1.0, then you are legacy.

Stealing game time? I'm a 1.0 CE owner, Legacy member, and beta participant. I already had early access.

Still waiting to get my code fixed. Thanks Square! Glad everyone else's still seems to work.

No, I mean, I pre-ordered the original version of the game.... when it was under a different name. Before the entire remake.
ok just got a question. so i ordered collectors edition from amazon. when i went to enter the 20 digit code i just got I was presented with this
Does this mean I am good to go for Collectors Edition or am I gonna have to make a call to Amazon?
I previously received an EU 20 digit code for my NA 18 digit code. Tried again and got an NA 20 digit, and the page showed exactly the same thing for me. I preordered the ARR CE from GMG, so I'm guessing this is what we're supposed to be seeing. I really don't know.
On my account management at https://secure.square-enix.com/account/ it still just lists XIV as registered on Sep 1, 2010 (from the 1.0 open beta.)
I think I'm repeating myself here, but I'm a 1.0's beta player, 1.0's CE owner, Legacy player and I will be an ARR's CE owner in a few days when ShopTp dispatches my box.
But 1.0 players don't have to buy the game, and just because they aren't getting 2 items from the new retail version of the game they fell like deserve them, when they are meant as incentives to people to purchase that new version. Put your feet on the ground.
