Just because you can get by the patcher and loginscreen does not mean the world servers are up. There's several servers. (Patch Server, Login Server, Lobby Server and the World Servers) Simply have patience and it should work out whenever SE fixes it.
Square Enix Account Management System Congestion: Follow-up
We would like to take this opportunity to provide an update regarding the congestion of the Square Enix Account Management System.
Due to heavy server traffic, we are continuing to experience Square Enix Account Management System congestion. Currently, players may not be able to log into the FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, or acquire registration codes for the game.
Our technical staff is monitoring the situation closely and working to resolve this issue. As a countermeasure to the congestion, we are currently limiting the acquisition of registration codes for the Open Beta Test. If you cannot acquire a registration code, or if you are unable to access the Square Enix Account Management System, we ask that you please wait and try again later.
