I'm probably gonna wait and see who ends up where and then make up my mind, I wanna be on the same server as most Rargh folk.

Thats if I even get the game working, the patcher is now giving me error messages.

Same, I think it must be because of the Maintenance. Going to pencil in Wutai and see what happens (its not as if we can't change), like you said I just want to be with most of the Rargh folk.

Most annoying thing is i'm moving house two days after the game comes out, so depending how long it takes to get my talktalk Broadband transferred i'm gonna miss most of the launch.

You probably won't miss a thing, expect two solid days of emergency maintenance.

Mine has now updated and is ready to log in. Whether this will be the case in 3 odd hours when I want to try it remains to be seen!

With regard to creating a SquareEnix Account, I see that you have to select a region when you create your account. I was intending to grab FFXIV whilst in Japan, but I assume I wouldn't be able to link it with my European FFXI account?

Assuming I do manage to get in, I'm happy to place my hat where the majority are. I'll only be a casual player anyway.

Still haven't been able to login to register the code. >_<

EDIT: And now I'm in.

[Tobal]

Patches are all done, just unable to get a code as the sever is "down" so can't even register it on the services.

[mikewl]

I'm done with this for today, it just sits there at 99.9&#37; complete doing sod all for hours on end, the only thing is does do is leech my upload.

Ok just after I said that it finally has finished, sheesh what hassle that was.

Its gotta be the same region account and game or it wont work.

Well still trying to get the beta down, getting 1.2kbps max on download.

Not the best display I've ever seen but very SE, reminds me of the good old updates where you couldn't play for a week.

I played for a good four hours now and I'm a blacksmith and my only attacking ablility is to throw a rock and that does 1HP damage... ITS A BLOODY HARD GAME AS A BLACKSMITH

I did the first story mission and it took forever, at one point I had to escort a taru half way across the world and got attacked like 6 times but they only had 2 HP each but still they did like 60-90 damage to me and I had like 400HP and the taru I was escorting didn't even heal me so I died... a lot... the first one poisoned me and I died like 2 seconds after killing it -_-

I'm not gonna play too much anymore not until I can get it activated on my proper account cos I just don't wanna repeat everything. I watched all three openings and at the moment my blacksmith is in Limsa Louminsa but I'm gonna chage to Gridania and focus on the Disciplines of War so I can actually kill things while I traverse the lands...

I did one levequest of whatever and I had to run for like 20mins to get the to the delivary location and I was the first person in that area and I think I'm the only blacksmith in the server...

[Tsingtao]

How do I forward the ports rep?
