Anyone re-link the form that needs to be filled out to fix account issues where I registered my game code to a new service account, instead of adding it to the existing one?
After filling out that form for doing the exact same thing, I finally got an email from SE saying they received my support ticket. I have this fear that the pre-release account (along with my characters) is going to expire and then I won't have access to them until SE does the merge.

I blame their stupid Mog Station for the confusion.

Really basic question I know , but when do you get your cross class ability hotbar or unlock slots ? As in I'm 15 on my arc , been doing some fishing also , but haven't done another adventure class yet but have done the story quest to the point where it tells me I can do that now.
Would x class buttons/slots become available once I start another class or that something that comes along later in levels?
Cross class hotbar is just something you go into your options menu to enable. It's basically a hotbar that doesn't change regardless of your class (so if you have potions, or gear sets, or chocobo shit that you want on every class). You unlock an extra ability slot every 5 levels for a class, every 10 for a job. So as soon as you unlock the ability to change classes you have the ability to cross ability. Just go into your skills window.

Yeah it looks like you have to add your retail code first, then you can upgrade. It makes sense because there really is nothing to upgrade yet in your account.

The first four columns with numbers are Japanese, English, German and French, so I guess number of language speakers per server?

Wherever you bought the game from. Amazon would of e-mailed it to you on the 27th - you can probably log into Amazon and find it under digital purchases, too.

Yeah with the Amazon preorder you need to go to your games under your account and it will show up there.

Really? I just went home at lunch to log my character in to avoid 1017 tonight :> Oh well it kicked all the other work AFKer's off too.
Not me, I'm still logged in. But protip, go afk in an inn because I believe it's treated like an instance, so you will only get kicked out if they reboot the instance servers.

Edit: meant go afk, not logoff.

Looks like a total number of Japanese, English, German, and French players on each server categorized by different server locations.

Columns are,

World, Data Center, Classification (Most of them new), Japanese Players, English Players, German Players, French Players, Total, Increase from 25th-26th
