Welcome to the RPC! Sadly, there's presently no way for you to get the game (or get onto it) as the servers are "down." I use down very loosely since they kept the servers up for the current players but nobody gets on since data isn't being saved for A Realm Reborn now.
Not sure how much you know about the game, but it basically had a terrible launch with horrendous reviews and backlash back in 2010. So they brought in a new director and team to fix as much as possible these past two years while also recreating a "new Final Fantasy XIV" from the ground up (A Realm Reborn). They did this through the "7th Umbral Era storyline" over the course of many patches and whatnot leading up to the recent grand finale. So now, it's mostly a waiting game for the game's relaunch. There's plenty of info and pretty videos coming out though and alpha testing is approaching its final stage before going into beta. Considering how well the new team did in fixing the original game up, A Realm Reborn is bound to be a really good MMO ^^
Take the opportunity to watch the finale scene as it sets up the story for A Realm Reborn. You can find the final scene/trailer here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/meteor/index.html">http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl ... index.html</a><!-- m -->
Edit: You may want to consider changing your forum name when you figure out a character name seeing as that's what most of us do around here. It helps to avoid confusion so people know who's actually posting. No rush or anything since the game isn't out yet. But just send me a message when you've got a new username/character name and I'll change it for you ^^
