So it is my understanding that people who played in 1.0, but didn't pay for 3+ months, don't get early access. Not sure why people who pre-ordered it 20 minutes ago get the prize but the rest of us can't. As far as I'm concerned I preordered it too... 3 years ago... slightly earlier than those who just kinda got into it recently.... for half the price....
$80 3 years ago? t(''t)
$30 20 minutes ago "enjoy bro! welcome aboard! =D"
edit: Thanks for the replies. I'm not saying that I deserve -more- than anyone. I just want to play the game, when it "launches" early when all my friends are playing it. I already bought the game, (years ago,) I'll be subscribing for at least 3+ months overall. Just saying that I don't like how I have to spend extra money to play with my pals when I've already spent more than what they've spent on everything so far. To me it just says "enjoy watching these new guys play for 3 days unless you gives me more $$$$" And...let's not forget those of us who spent $1000 on a new machine to even play this game... =/

I would like to start by saying that I detest paying for the game as well as paying a monthly subscription, the software should be included with your monthly subs. I myself am not a legacy player but did play 1.0.
I would like to share with you my tactic for levelling the playing field.
Step 1) Got to www.amazon.co.uk . www.amazon.com, www.amazon.de or whichever version of amazon your SE Servie account relates to
Step 2) Preorder FFXIV;ARR
Step 3) Wait for the Amazon pre-order code to come through to your email address
Step 4) input your pre-order code into this site - http://preorder.NA.finalfantasyxiv.com/ or http://preorder.EU.finalfantasyxiv.com/
Step 5) boot up your beta 4 client
Step 6) follow the link in the software to the SE Account management screen and input your early access code.
Step 7) Update the client software
Step 8) Log back into amazon
Step 9) Cancel your pre-order and get a full refund
I hope this helps with your dilemma :D
I am a firm believer that you dont try and beat the system you just play it at its own game.
Regards
Sven
