Are those beta keys what the one-time login key is about? I already forgot my account info when signing up for the beta, but where do you get the beta keys from?

>>6055279
I think you're confusing the Square Enix accounts with the beta accoutns

Hmmpth!
Be like that.

>>6055279
one-time login keys are from authenticator tokens. I think keys will be available at entry.ffxiv.com

1.Access the following URL.
http://entry.ffxiv.com/
* The page will become accessible starting at 19:00 on Aug. 31, 2010.

2.Log in with your Square Enix account and have a registration code issued.
* Depending on the access status, we may temporarily suspend the issuance of registration code. If you cannot have registration code issued, we ask that you please wait a little while before trying again.

3.Register the registration code you received by e-mail on the Square Enix Account Management System.
Click "Select Service" from "Services and Options" on the left menu. Select "FINAL FANTASY XIV" from the services available and then "Add a service account." Enter the registration code you've been issued and proceed to the end of registration.

Someone please seed the 4.7GB patch. The official patcher rapes my CPU without downloading anything and the torrent gives an average of about 20kb/s. Right now it's going to take like 2 day to finish ;_;

What in the fuck is going on?
Is there a new patch that came out today?
I spent all yesterday downloading that huge one and this one won't even start.

>>6055298
Serves you right for playing bad games.

>>>/v/
Fucking reported, enjoy your ban.

I'm going to guess you guys are only saying you'll play this because you haven't actually played it yet. This game is fucking awful, good luck.

>>6055294
copy pasted from previous a /v/ thread

Posting from last night's thread:
http://awk.cenobyte.org/ffxiv/

"Alright everyone, here's my shot at a guide on getting this shit running. This is a guide on how to MANUALLY patch the game, instead of having to use Squeenix's retarded uploader.

1.http://awk.cenobyte.org/ffxiv/

Download the SquareEnix.rar and ffxiv-beta/, this will get you all the files the SE installer would normally get you.

2. Unpack SquareEnix.rar.

3. Run FFXIVBOOT.exe, it will download the patch torrents and place them.....

4. Here. My Documents > My games > FFXIV Beta Version > downloads > ffxiv-beta > d9* > metainfo > torrents will be here. Download the torrents using utorrent, whatever

5. Move the .patch documents into this folder: C:\Users\YourNameHere\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\bca2a8ae\patch

6. Open the ffxiv-beta/ file that you downloaded earlier from cenobyte.org. There should be a .patch file in there that is about 3.5 gigs, this is the one that so many people get stuck downloading for hours. Move it into the patch folder along with the others (C:\Users\YourNameHere\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\bca2a8ae\patch)

7. Run FFXIVBOOT.exe again, and it should recognize that the patches are already there, thus starting up the game

Are you going to enjoy your 8 hours, Anon?

>>6055294
I'm downloading a torrent too, and after 10 minutes of 2-3 kb/sec it's now up to a 100 average and peaks up to 250. It's getting better. For me at least.

>>6055310
Most of them haven't, but they need to experience the atrocity for themselves to truly comprehend just how bad it is.

>>6055313
What kind of fat nerd plays for more than that anyways.

I mean I only spend 30-40 hours on a single player RPG. So why would I spend 300-400 on an online one.

>>6055328
What kind of a nerd spends 8 hours a day on 4chan?

>>6055328
Presumably because the offline one ends after 40 hours, while the online one ends after 400 hours.

>>6055336
/jp/ nerds.

jesus fucking christ FUCK this update, stuck at 0.0 b/s for hours on end.

>>6055336
I'm here for 10 hours a day. But I'm always doing something productive on the side though, so it's OK.

If 4chan was an online RPG, then I'd be level one billion.

Thank god, I thought it was just me with that problem.

>>6055357
Took you 4 whole minutes to think of that you nerd?

I desperately wanted to love this game. I just can't. It's not fun. Getting into beta was probably the worst thing to happen.

thing is neither of those are really allowed, nor are ads

>>6055353
Use the torrent you retard.
It's in your game folder.

>>6055369
I never downloaded from
>>6055311
This. I am now trying to get the squareenix.rar

>>6055269
Anyone who doesn't think MMOs belong on /jp/ does not themselves belong on /jp/. Nothing to worry about.

>>6055371
And the same goes for anime then?
If so, then we might as well merge /a/ and /v/ into /jp/ instead.

>>6055363
>>insinuating that I am currently mashing F5 like fist of the north star

Personally I'm saving my strength for 7PM. Not sure how getting a beta key works though.

>>6055372
Oh God I'm surprised you even know how to turn the computer on.
Christ.
Retards everywhere.

>>6055376
Holy shit.
We're not arguing about this again.
This board shouldn't even exist.
This is a place to get rid of some shit from /a/ moot didn't want there.
Touhou, VNs, and Asian MMOs are all part of that.
Anime is not.
There's a reason why MMOs have always been allowed, but anime hasn't.

>>6055388
>This board shouldn't even exist.
The same could be said about any board really.

>>6055388
by "Osu!" and MMO's though you mean your constant, blatant ads/"invites" to the same

Hey, I mean Gaia doesn't belong on any board on 4chan either. Live with it.

>>6055388
ITT; Retarded logic.
Do me a favour and don't have children, there's all ready enough stupid people in the world.

>>6055311
Thanks so much. Finally getting some bytes through the pipe.

>>6055353
You don't have the correct ports opened,
make sure your firewall/protection is allowing all SE connections through

Y'all nigguhs need to chill the fuck out and stop bitching.
Listen to some Bad Apple to help calm yourself down.

>>6055409
On what he said:

-Port forward all UDP/TCP ports to 55296-55551.

-Port 443 UDP should also be forwarded.

I'm going to enjoy the beta key site being down at 7pm followed by servers being down/crashing

for example I could say
>'sup, kimmo

>take your assburgered "wiseguy" "mafia" game or whatever and cram it

>>6055384
Hey condescending twat-stain, fuck you.

>>6055436
No need to get all hostile just because you're thick, it's not my fault dude.

>>6055391
No it can't.
Last thread meido deleted all the posts whining abour mmo threads. Check the archive and deal with it

>>6055450
What does that have to do with anything? Because the janitor deleted the shitposts in the previous thread means /jp/ shouldn't really exist while every other board should?

>>6055448
Your intense lack of understanding that things do not come easily to everyone, and your high and mighty attitude are worthy of my hostility.

>>6055461
he means he posted them and then deleted them himself

counts as a kind of "impersonating the staff"

Guys, the main thing meido doesn't like is when threads go to shit because of whiners.

THE MMOS THREADS AREN'T GOING AWAY, JUST CUT THE SHIT OUT AND DEAL W/ IT, NERDS.

>>6055428
>>I'm going to enjoy the beta key site being down at 7pm followed by servers being down/crashing

Seriously bro the asspain in this thread right now will be nothing compared to 3 hours from now.

>>6055466
Then stop whining about things you can easily fix with some common sense.
Wouldn't hurt now would it?
Or in your case, it actually might.

>>6055461
oh and don't expect him to be sure he's responding to the post he thinks he is, either, he's on here for commercial reasons

(which also explains his near-total disregarding of any/all criticism, he doesn't care, you can't make him care)

>>6055491
I'm predicting tomorrow /v/ and /jp/ both will be awash of threads bitching about Square&FFXIV
I've experienced just how bad the game is and once others do, well, let's just see.

>>6055509
If nothing changed since beta 3, I guess most of us won't even bother. I'm ok with mindless grind, but not with mindless grind on an awful interface at 10 fps.

>MFW I made 80% of the posts ITT and now I'm sitting back and enjoying the drama

>>6055509
Agree, I thought 11 was bad but this one surprised me in just how awful an MMO can be. I wanted to like it ; ;

>>6055419
>>6055409
Thanks bros, I'll get that done.

>>6055522
If you didn't like 11 there was no way you would like 14...

>>6055547
I played the shit out of 11, even did the whole HNM raiding bullshit for a good period of time and 14 is just a big pile of blargh for me.

>>6055509 >>6055522
I was almost in shock to find out FF14 looked worse (on everything other than high settings) and had more technical issues than just about any Free-to-Play MMO I've tried in years.

I want to like FF14, I really do, and I'm sure as hell easy-to-please. But they're making this so hard on me.

Server?

>>6055547
While I can appreciate the sentiment, FFXI and FFXIV play nothing alike. That said, FFXI is definitely the better of the two games right now, but it's also had since 2002 to be polished and refined. The dev team finally got off their asses after about 2 years of being lazy with updates and the last year and a half have been amazing. I am quite amused at all the people only just now discovering how terrible S-E is about keeping dates and distributing updates. You guys would have loved Fall 2004 in FFXI. There were times people couldn't download the updates until 3-4 days after maintenance due to congestion.

>>6055526
Awesome that worked like a fucking charm, running steady 330 kb/s now. Thanks

>>6055574
>FF14 looked worse
Are you sure it's not just because of your shitty computer? FFXIV looks great.

>>6055522
It can't be that bad can it? I'm sure it's better than most of the shitty free to play MMOs /jp/ seems to play.

>>6055590
NP Fella.

Hey let's screw EU over by giving them keys at 2 AM but we're going to have some server problems so screw your euroeans so staying up until 2 am.

>>6055597
FF14 looks terrible on low graphic settings. It does indeed look great on maximum settings though.

>>6055570
I also played FFXI for almost its entirety and still have problems with FFXIV (mainly the camera, but i heard they're going to fix that by copying FFXI's which I was glad to hear). My point was if you couldn't even like ffxi, there isn't a snowball's chance of liking 14.

>>6055606
>staying up until 2 am
is that supposed to be late or something?

>>6055587
I remember just getting the game in Fall 2003 and feeling bad because I was using shitty sword/shield in Valkurm and I did like 15 damage to the mobs the JP party I randomly got was fighting...

>>6055610
Well sure, but I think there is a difference between
>on everything other than high settings
and just low settings looking bad.

>>6055612
Yes, I wake up at 6 am. Not everyone here is a bloody NEET.

>>6055612
For the anyone who isn't a nerd virgin, yes.
Some of us actually have lives.

>>6055587
Oh I was around for all of those wonderful herp derp SE fuck ups. And they STILL fucking suck at putting out updates in a reasonable fashion.

There is 1 last arc of WotG left. And the next update gives HALF of it. HALF. That's like... 1 fucking mission. Are you fucking kidding me SE? I have to wait ANOTHER 3 months to finish this shit?

>>6055606
>EU

Final Fantasy Online will always remain a NA/JP collective in heart.

>>6055610
Do you know what the benchmark was running at for reference?

>>6055622
Sorry for not enjoying lag and 200 ping.

>>6055620
>actually have lives.
Then you wouldn't be playing shit like FFXIV.

>>6055601
It's not that bad. Just beta wise there wasn't much to do at all, aside from grinding over and over. Sure there was crafting and such, but the menus lagged so much I didn't even bother trying to do it.

>>6055620
>Some of us actually have lives.

I lol'd hard

>>6055509
Oh people can be asspained all they want. Doesn't bother me.

I'm hyped to hear Nobuo's soundtrack to be quite honest. I've been resisting to download the music rips.

>>6055632
Ah yes look so many good new MMOs out there like?

Aion - Sucks
WoW Catashit - yeah...
T.E.R.A - Yay for MMO that needs 50 ping to bad the server will suck
Blade and Soul - I haven't heard any news on this for ages.

Also FFXIV Open Beta is free it's not like I will play the game.

>>6055638
From what I downloaded the OST ain't that stellar... most of it is really average a few good tracks.

>>6055639
Maybe you should get a new hobby then. Or move to a less shitty part of the world.

>For the anyone who isn't a nerd virgin, yes.
>Some of us actually have lives.
Whoa, next you faggots will actually be saying that /jp/ isn't the worst board on 4chan.

>>6055623
It defaulted to 1280 res and mostly(or entirely?) maxed graphics when I first loaded FF14, and it looked about what the benchmark looked like.

The benchmark definately doesn't run on low settings, the low settings in FF14 look about like Everquest 2's shitty plastic-like graphics. The inside of buildings looks passable, but the rest is just fucking ugly.

If your computer can handle high settings, the game looks wonderful--it's just that it scales horribly. Also the higher the graphics settings, the more the software mouse lagged. I could probably play on max, but the mouse was utterly unusable.

>>6055654
/jp/ is the heart and soul of 4chan.

Every other board is a poor imitation of our topics and discussion.

>>6055647
Why exactly should I do that?

Also implying I played any MMO for a prolonged after RO.

>>6055654
Are you suggesting this place is worse than /a/ and /b/?

>>6055660
/jp/ was the original board, it had everything. Eventually certain content branched off to other boards, ie anime and manga became /a/. I still remember those days.

>>6055597
FF14 on low settings looks absolutely horrible.

i know because that was the best I could do with my shitty dual core and 5770 @ 1080p in beta 3 build.

>>6055701
On lowest sure, but the poster said everything other than high, which I thought would be a bit of an exaggeration.

The amount of asspain in this thread is ridiculous.
FFXIV is literally the best MMO since Guild Wars.

I'm downloading the 4.7 GB torrent right now. I'm wondering though, the site says 6GB download. Is there anything I'm missing? Anything I need?

>>6055713
Check out the threads in /v/. They can't even comprehend time zones.

>>6055713
>implying guild wars is good
>implying guild wars is an MMO

>>6055715
I'd do that but I feel like I'd lose braincells just visiting the place.

>>6055724
Guild Wars is an MMO.
Also it's amazing. The level of customization they give you while still making it fun is phenomenal.

So how long will it take for Squenix's servers to self-detonate? I'm giving it a half hour before unscheduled maintenance.

>>6055730
It's actually not an MMO.

>>6055730
I'm an avid Guild Wars player, but I can't really see Guild Wars as an MMO. Even Arenanet states it's not. They say it's a CORPG, Co-op Online RPG, and that's pretty much spot on.

>>6055737
No intention of playing in the beta, I've all ready sampled it from the Alpha. I may however stay up a bit longer just to see the tears and buttrange on here though, I could use a good laugh.

>>6055737
I'm guessing they'll immediately. Remember December 16th sign ups killed the server right away.

>>6055730
Do you even know what an MMO is?

>>6055737
How come when MMOs launch they can never figure this shit out?

I'm honestly just curious to see how you guys react to software mouse and server-side menus. I've never even seen that shit in a free MMO, let alone a full-priced "AAA" release.

>>6055797
>software mouse and server-side menus.
Elaborate.

>>6055797
The full keyboard controlled game, terrible camera angels and horrific combat. I can't for the life of my wonder why anyone would actually pay real money for this.

>>6055797
I'm willing to bet most people will get tired of this game because of these issues over the surplus shit

>>6055797
I dunno I'll try it myself.

If I can play it fine then maybe others just suck or something.

>>6055805
Basically, it's impossible to control your character and activate menus with the mouse.
Well, not impossible, just incredibly awkward and annoying, you have to use WASD and UpDownLeftRight to control the camera. Oh and the Camera angel is impossible you keep running in to shit as you can't see where you are going.

Well playing with controller is superior but even so the menus are so fucking slow and awful. I really hope they are better in this open beta patch if they aren't I can't see myself buying this game.

>>6055817
I know you're trying to remain optimistic but just wait till you've played it for an hour or two then we'll see what your impression is.

>>6055826
They finally manage to sort the controller problems out?
When I played it the Control didn't even work, well it did but it was on like a 5 hour delay.

My advice would be if you're going to play it, play it on the PS3, on the PC it is absolutely horrific.
Blatantly made for the PS3 and the port is frighteningly bad.

>>6055843
By "play it" I mean play it once it's out.
I am aware the beta is for the PC.

2am where are my open beta keys?
http://entry.ffxiv.com/eu/index.html

>>6055857
You're going to buy it before trying it?

>>6055827
This thread is pure condensed asspain. I'm wary of things said in a thread like this.

But yeah if it sucks when I try it out, then no way am I buying the full game.

>>6055860
OH DUDE it's 3 am GTM+1 WELL FUCKING SHIT.

it's clearly evident just from the UI and controls that the game was made for the PS3 in mind

>>6055840
my logitech and 360 usb controller lags a bit too, just resorted to using keyboard-only

>>6055860
>02:00 (GMT)
You don't know how to tell time or something?

>>6055715
>Check out the threads in /v/. They can't even comprehend time zones.
Sounds like that's where Croatia belongs.

>>6055878
That's 1 hour 40 min from now btw.

>>6055896
That's because beta key's go out the same time everywhere.

>>6055910
Yes. That would be correct.

>>6055819
This is how FFXI is, too. Honestly, I prefer it as I find the whole click on everything interfaces to feel too much like a rehash of Diablo II. Keyboard's faster for me, anyway. It's one of those things you learn to love after a while. If not, you use a controller.

Does the game run better than the benchmark?

>>6055938
Not really, but the demo is more-or-less maxed graphics.

What the demo does show you though, is how poorly your mouse will run in-game. If the benchmark lags, your mouse will probably be unusable.

What's going on? Am I missing some DST or why is the registration still closed?

>>6056073
>19:00 (PDT)
Is it this time yet, or can you retards not read?

>>6056082
Euro registration says 2 AM GMT. It's 2:17 GMT now, still nothing.

>>6056114
It's 1:19 GMT bro.

>>6056114
Euro registration is tomorrow you stupid piece of shit.

>>6056114
The 2AM GMT doesn't seem to account for DST which pushes the registration to 4AM for most of Europe.

>>6056122
Hmm, I guess I forgot about summertime here, since it's 3:23 right. Usually we're +1, but with summertime it's +2 ofcourse. I'm sorry.

>>6056125
It's September 2nd 3:23 AM here, you stupid piece of shit. So only 47 minutes until key handout, you stupid piece of shit.

is hotglue playing and if so what server?

>>6056157
gtfo

Hey you pathetic humans

Why don't you go play Metroid Other M instead? Saka made my slut here Samus do dumb humiliating things just to pander your fat otaku asses after all. Something about being more waifu like or some shit.

Why don't you give it a try?

>>6056170
>play
>Metroid Other M
It's not a game, it's a movie you idiot.

>>6056170
Because I finished it on Saturday.

>>6056170
I'm not much of a Metroid fan.

>>6056157
No idea, but I've seen a couple anons, ZUN, and currybutt say kefka so I'm going there

>>6056170
It got an 80 on Metacritic, shit sucks.

Not to mention the trailers made me hate Samus.

>>6056181
Everyone is going on Kefka, even the horde of idiots on /v/. Enjoy your lag.

>>6056185
Cool story troll.

>>6056185
I'm not playing on Kefka.

>>6056187
....how the fuck am I trolling?

Fucking retard.

>>6056172
>shitting his pants to try some p2p online entertainment that's no better than the free ones
>calling others an idiot

hahaha these humans, how the fuck do they work?

So we've got Kefka as a laggy server choice, what about the alternative choice?

My coin of indecision just told me that server should be Golbez. Kinda fits /jp/ too, since Golbez was a nerd.

/jp/ is going to Kefka.
Because one retard claimed that's where everyone is going you are all bailing out?
Fuck you guys.

>>6056189
Good. Don't want you shitting up the server.

>>6056202
Maybe I'll make an alt there to piss you off.

>>6056195
I seriously doubt anyone's shitty their pants.

I sold my closed beta key to a friend for 5 bucks. Poor chump.

>>6056196
>>So we've got Kefka as a laggy server choice, what about the alternative choice?

Is there a Faris or FF5-themed server?

>>6056209
More like because everyone here is going to Kefka you decided to go there too.

>>6056214
There is Exdeath server, we can toss Golbez's nerd ass out for that choice, if it's what you want.

So 15 minutes until the beta keys are given away?

>>6056214
ExDeath.

Isn't this supposed to be awful?
Why is /jp/ playing?

>>6056216
I was in closed beta with 3 other people I've known online for years, we always had another server planned.

>>6056239
Open beta is free. After that, next flavor.

>>6056239
Loneliness

>>6056214
No, nothing like that.

There is a Faris server, though.

What is the server list, I could assist /jp/
Always look for where the Japanese players are going as well

>>6056239
I dunno about everyone else, but I'm trying the OB again after deleting the CB, on account of it being shit.

I just want to play with /jp/ and have fun ;_;

>>6056239
Because it's an open beta, and no matter how bad a game is, if it's free a lot of us will try it out.

Allods. I still blame a certain jerk for this.

>>6056239
Even if it's not great, it'd still be leagues ahead of the other shitty MMOs /jp/ plays.

>>6056239
Fuck off Jones. What do you know about video games?

>>6056251

Garland, Emperor, Golbez, Exdeath, Kefka, Sephiroth, Ultimecia, Jecht, Shadowlord, Gabranth

Last I heard the Japanese were planning on Kefka or Shadowlord.

18 classes?
What in the fuck is this?

>>6056266
A lot of them are for crafting/gathering.

Which classes are the healers?

>>6056256
I know next to nothing about this one, but I remember people complaining during the closed beta.
It was a perfectly legitimate question.

>>6056262
I bet Jecht easily becomes most populated

So what server are we joining? Kefka sounds like it'll be pretty overpopulated.

>>6056280
No, you were trolling.
And people make fun of every MMO, or game rather.

>>6056292
Exdeath

Heh, you people actually think you're getting a key?

This is Sony, the server will crash the instant 19:00 hits. Did you learn nothing from Star Wars Galaxies?

Exdeath as alternate server then if you don't feel like crowded servers?

Although I'm probably going to quit five seconds after I realize they haven't removed the software mouse and server-side menues anyways.

>>6056292
Kefka

>>6056292
Wouldn't surprise me. Kefka is a popular character.

I say Exdeath or whatever Hotglue plays on.

>>6056299
Sony has nothing to do with this game, it's all Square-Enix.

Great, thanks to that one asshole we are all split on what server to join. Let's just join whatever has the least amount of people.

>>6056306
Hotglue is playing on exdeath

>>6056298
You're from hotglue.
The fags asking us to join exdeath are none other than the hotfags themserlves. Fuck exdeath.
I'm not letting you assholes ruin another game.

>>6056316

Yeah but I read a post about hotglue on /jp/ that said bad things about them!

Should be time now, but nothing's happening.

>>6056320
Why are you angry? We just want to play and have fun and steal all your credit cards ;_;

>>6056326
>Sony

What's the site where we get our keys?
Is it this? http://entry.ffxiv.com/na/index.html
Nothing is happening.

I would play the server with the best name, so it's obvious Gilgamesh is the right choice

>>6056330
>Sony
??
What does Sony have to do with this?

GOGOGO APP LINK IS OPEN

Beta code obtained

>>6056316 >>6056320
Hotglue can't play on exdeath, "xd" is an auto-kick in #hotglue.

If the site keeps timing out I'll take that to be a sign from God that I should not play this game and stop trying to get a key.

You can apply for the EU beta right now, but I'm not sure is that would limit you to EU servers.

Site is going so slow, you assholes are spamming F5

Is there any way a computer that costs $850 can run this fucking game? I was looking to buy a new one anyways. What specs would I need to play it without it looking terrible.

>>6056344
...But I can't get onto the account site to actually use it.

Fucking Squeenix

I don't think I'm going to get a beta code
site is nuked lol

Anyone North American's get a key yet?

>>6056359
yes

Apply for beta button is up.

Site's taking too long for me to try it though.

>>6056357
This is nothing, when Darkfall had their launch I sat every day spamming F5 to get my key.

How long is the open beta going to go on for?

Is anyone actually getting through or is it just timing out for everybody?

So funny SE.

>>6056379
Until next year

>The connection has timed out
>The server at secure.square-enix.com is taking too long to respond.

I guess it was not meant to be. Well, then, I'll abandon you guys to your cruel fate.

Damn i got my key but i can't load the account management site.

Still waiting for it to stop timing out....

This seems familiar somehow....

Sigh.

This is what I get for telling /jp/ the link is up before clicking on it myself.

>>6056404
I'm sure the 12 people on /jp/ are causing this problem.

>>6056404
Right, because we're too retarded to have been already checking ourselves.

Why do closed beta people have to do this shit? SE is so fucking incompetent.

>>6056406
Obviously I'm referring to the horde of other faggots that clicked while I was typing the message, not /jp/.

>>6056412
Just clicking on the link wouldn't net you it.

>>6056404
>>6056386
Ahh memories, I'll wait for the horde rush to pass and casually walk in while twirling a cane

Well, I finally got past Connecting... to Waiting...

Now to wait 30 minutes for it to actually display and tell me all the keys have gone out.

When the page doesn't time out, all I get is a message saying maintenance.

>>6056386
So I'm finally able to log in and I get this shit

Fuck me

>>6056408
>>Why do closed beta people have to do this shit?

A random /v/ user is now using your beta key as we speak.

Anyone able to register their key yet?

I like how I got to the beta agreement and the javascript for the apply link didn't work.

Back to timing out. Fucking Sony.

>>6056436
nope, site isn't loading.

Now it just forwards to a Server Error page

it's not working

>>6055491
You were right
my ass is in pain right now
i am very frustrated

>>6056428
And Sony screws up yet again. Super.

>>6056422
except that there is a limited number of keys

>>6056446
No problem here, I still have my Alpha Account.
Only problem is server's down..........

You will never get a beta key.

>>6056449
Oh great so if by some miracle we manage to get a key and login the servers are down anyway?
Jesus fucking christ..........

>>6056449
You need a new beta key, closed beta users don't get in automatically.

I still can't download the client! Fuck you FilePlanet!

All I'm getting is a loading screen that's loading endlessly :(

>managed to load page
>SERVER UNDER MAINTENANCE

WHY

Don't you guys know you aren't pressing the button in the proper way

>>6056465
Have fun,
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QNCD1LY1

I wish I could get a key, but I'm not even sure I have the right password for my account.

What's that third input box for anyway?

Is it really so hard for SE to provide the necessary capacity so this kinda shit doesn't happen?

>>6056469
Reminds me of my times with early Sega CD, Saturn, and PSX games.

I wish they scheduled this shit during school hours.

Fucking poorfag kids are flooding it.

I got in using a controller. Typical keyboard fags

>>6056471
That's Apple, not SE.

Fuck this shit I'm off to be.

Fuck it, I'm off.

>>6056476
Yeah, I can't believe Sony's server can't handle every poorfag on the internet all pressing F5 at the same time.

You fags will complain about anything.

Yeah so the login prompt for the game doesn't load either. HAHAHA

>>6056487
Nice number of tabs.

>>6056494
>Sony
Is this gonna be a recurring gag?

>>6056475
its for a security token if ones linked to the account

>>6056494
Are you implying poorfags can even run this game without blowing up their PCs?

I wish they would just close it for the night so I can go to bed.

Not like anyone with a key will be playing anytime soon anyways.

I'm sure I'll be doing this all night.

>MFW the game Servers were offline.
Hahahaha, You shure trolled me good Square.

I just got past the login and will now try to tell it where I live, wish me luck.

About fucking time.

It's working I just got it

>>6056511
But then it'd just be doing the same thing when you wake up?

>>6056519
Hey.

Shut up.

I'm getting the maintenance page every time ;_;

>>6056517
OK. My morale has been boosted a little after seeing this. Maybe I will get a key after all..

>>6056517
YOU COMPLETED LEVEL ONE

WELCOME TO LEVEL TWO
>>6056390
>>6056403
>>6056487

You guys didn't actually expect to play the same night as OB opened?

>>6056517
Dude, you've got 4000 unread emails.

>>6056517
Did you just keep reloading https://secure.square-enix.com/enqt/s/run or did you have to keep accepting the terms and applying?

>>6056532
They're all automated shit I don't read.

I haven't gotten a handwritten e-mail from a real person in years.

>at actual application site
>javascript link doesn't work because page wasn't able to load fully
oh my fucking god

>>6056546
Even if you're javascript link works you'll still be sittin there reloading the next page.

>>6056538
I feel your pain bro, I get like 40 emails a day about WoW gold. I've never even played WoW............................

>>6056536
I just kept pressing F5 every time I clicked a new link. I had to reload the beta application like 3 times before the Apply link even worked.

>>6056553
That's not as annoying as getting your WoW account hacked and stripped and then getting a gold e-mail from the fags who did it.

Then again, that account had been canceled for years. My fortune in vanilla can be acquired from a single quest now, not sure why they even bothered.

I wonder how many Hamsters they've gone through so far over at Square.

New server list:

Cornelia
Kashuan
Gysahl
Mysidia
Istory
Figaro
Wutai
Trabia
Lindblum
Besaid

We're starting on Cornelia (Can you guess why?)

o/

>>6056568
No we are not.
Pick one of the new servers.

>>6056567
You don't know shit about hamsters until you've sat for hours on end in the real-time SOE General chat with the game's devs waiting for the servers to come back up.

We did that every night of beta.

Finally I can go sleep!

>>6056581
Forgot to mention this was SWG beta.

>>6056584
>working!!

I'm goign to tear my fucking hair out.

so >>6056603
>Figaro

I'm going to bed, somebody shit on the floor to wake me up when the maintenance page is gone.

>>6056615
That would be one heavy shit.

Oh boy I'm so glad I stayed up till 4am just to witness this.

>>6056618
/jp/ takes power shits.

Figaro it is.

>>6056620

First come first serve.

>>6056627
>Figaro
MAGNIFICO!

>>6056625
The type of shit you get when you refuse to go to the toilet and sit on your legs for 4 days straight.

>>6056630
Fuck you.

>>6056630
omg so funni xD

Alright got my code.

Why the fuck do I get redirected to http://entry.ffxiv.com/busy/ when I'm trying to log in at square-enix.com?

They're not even the same domain.

>>>/v/71972340

I'm laughing so hard right now.
They're going batshit insane over on /v/

Fucking finally.

Now I get to wait a day for the fucking thing to download and install.

Got a code but the account management page still doesn't load... /sigh

Finally.

>>6056656
You didn't dl and install it prior?
>>6056671
>1283396486898[1].png

>>6056673
Nope, totally forgot about it until I saw this thread today.

>>6056671
Great censoring job there.

Fuck yeah, finally. Took me an hour, this aint so bad I guess.

Cornelia vs Figaro server

WHAT DO WE CHOOSE?

>>6056734
Figaro

>>6056739
>Figaro
Magnifico

>Applications for the FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test have been temporarily suspended. Please wait until we are ready to accept new applications and then try again.

Well fuck

>>6056832
I'm at loss of words

New thread it seems
>>6056676

I think I've figured out the whole deal with FF14 and the 8 hours a day thing.

You play for 10 minutes, get booted, then spend the next 4 hours trying to log in. When you extrapolate this, you get about 8 hours of play per week.
