Due to having several crappy experiences using SE's store, I preordered my copy of Heavensward CE through Amazon. According to the product description, I'll get codes for Early Access on the 19th, buuuuut according to my receipt (unless I'm reading/understanding things wrong) they won't send codes until they officially charge my bank when "the product becomes available" on the 23rd. A bit annoying, but I was entirely serious when I told the SE rep that I'd never buy things directly from them again. At least Amazon tells me within seconds if something is going to 'take time' to be available to me, not five days of me badgering.
Honestly though, I don't care if I don't get into Early Access. At best, the new areas are going to be crowded and laggy as hell. At worst, servers are going to be unstable and it's going to be like 2013 all over again. If the servers stay stable enough, I'll probably just keep on with what I've been doing and getting alt's crafting up. If not, well... I still have XI. And a shop down the street sells Gamecubes for $20, I can amuse myself with the old copies of Phantasy Star Online and Animal Crossing that I found in the basement last week.
