The ͏de͏velopers h͏av͏e acknowle͏dged th͏at these i͏ssues are͏ primaril͏y ͏du͏e to server instability.͏

This article aims to provide potential fixes if you encounter the same problem.

If you already have an account and have logged in successfully, then all you need to do is:

Navigate to your account settings and locate the Path of Exile 2 Early Access tab on the right-hand side of the screen.
Alternatively, check the Messages tab in your account for a notification regarding early access.
Redeem your early access key directly through the official Path of Exile website.

If these don't work, waiting for the server issues to be sorted seems like the best course of action, at the time of writing. You do have the rights to the game. Once things get stable, it should work normally. Reach out to support if it does not.
