I'm not gonna bother trying until they post something on their twitter saying its fixed. If you register and get an EU code they say you can re-register but that seems more like a fluke than a solution.
It is up and running now. People that got an EU code yesterday were able to redo it and got a NA code. It is safe to do now. SE is way behind when they post on twitter.
I'll take your word for it and.... hmmm.... error 3 still. How many tries did it take you guys to get in?

I had to refresh a few times. It is just getting hammered now because it is up and working properly
Refresh page or just re-try?
Edit - just got it. Whew
So now...how do I know I actually have it on my account? I tried registering again and it said it was already used, but how do I know I have it? Also, I see no mention anywhere that I have a collector's edition?
Sigh, this shit shouldn't be this confusing for a consumer or maybe I'm just not understanding it all.
So, I pre-ordered from GMG back in July and got the 18-key code. My account actually has Final Fantasy XIV listed as a service, but nothing about collector's edition (I can't recall if I put this code in or not at the beginning?) I just used this code on the pre-order page and now have my 20-digit code screen (no email yet) and put that in for my pre-order bonuses.
Am I still waiting for a valid game key from GMG in order to play at release?

FFS SquareEnix, get your shit together.
If you've ever read that SE has one of the (if not THE) worst account management systems of any MMO company out there, believe it. People don't just say that because they had a bad experience and want to complain about it publicly. It's just that bad.
I don't say this to bash FFXIV, or FFXI, because I play both. It's just a warning. Don't expect anything straightforward, or simple, or efficient in regards to account management...now, or ever.

Still can't get mine to take.
Microsoft wants separate servers for Xbox customers, while SE wants cross-platform servers. I believe that is still the reason there's no Xbox version.
