No valid or active service account?Follow

Right, I see the same message. I do believe because there is no access to play the game at this time. Try again in 22.5 hours.

To edit, I saw this message yesterday when updating the launcher.

Eidt again. I just checked, and now seeing "Please wait until the start of the early access period or official launch to access the game."

This message will appear if you do not have early access. You may need to try to re-enter your code. When you first started the client up, did you have to update it?

This is what you should have gotten: http://prntscr.com/1mwrm6

^ this. ALOT of people are forgetting you have to put in a code to get a code to put in, I know I know, it's alittle odd. But Jaggars is correct. When you pre-order, you will get a email with a code: xxxxx-xxx-xxxxx-xxx-xxxxx. After that the screen will direct you to another screen and you will be given another code which you must then enter. You will enter this 2nd code when you run the client and select the link saying you have to go though the mog services.

You may or may not get the 'Error 3' code when putting in the 2nd code. if so, that can easily be fixed too.

The second code you get you put in after following the link shown in the client saying ''FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station"

the first code you got in the email should look like this: "Serial Number/Product Code: BAPEYE-195-NOJELU-813"

You place this code in the first link i posted previously, once that is accepted, you will get another code, run the client then follow the link "FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station" and when prompted to, enter the 2nd code.

After I entered my 18 digit code and got my 20 digit code, it told me to enter it at the start of early access or alternatively I could click *here* ( I don't have the link) and enter my code now. I chose to enter my code from that link and then it showed my a screen where it was adding the pre order items to my account and I had to confirm. I didn't see anything about the Mog Station

On the page that gave you your 20-digit EA code, there was a link. Upon clicking that link you would have been prompted to log into your SE account. Upon logging in it would have taken you directly to a page with 4 boxes, for you to type the 20-digit code into. After typing in the 20-digit code, you would have then gotten a page asking you to confirm your Pre-order bonuses (Mog Cap, Cait Sith Doll, and Early Access). Upon confirming that, you'd be taken to the final page, saying that your registration was complete.

Ok lol, I went back through and entered my first code again to get the second. Once I get to the page where it says redeem now/dl game client I clicked redeem now. Entered my code, site says it's invalid. I must have already done this, and yet it says I have no account.

The problem as far as I can see, you can only play on the platform you pre-ordered for. I get the correct screen for PS3, but I get that screen for the PC version. Only reason I even ordered for the PS3 version was because I already have the 1.0 PC version.

I only bought 1.0 and 2.0 for PC. My PS3 has been a brick for over a year.

I bought it through SE. I'll try and get in a chat help session tomorrow morning. It's all good

Thank you for all the help guys. Rate ups for all ya'll.

Yeah, this is what I am experiencing as well. I am hoping that we are not limited to only playing on the PS3 as I already had the 1.0 CE and wanted to be able to play on both consoles.

On PC I get the invalid account screen, but on PS3 it says wait for early access.
