I was invited to yesterdays beta test but didn't have it downloaded in time, after a day and a half of downloading, getting 0-4kb/s. Tried the download after the beta had finished and I suddenly was getting 400-500kb/s, im ready to test it Saturday evening.

Download completed after about 36 hours. I just left my PC running, but the window corrupted so I had no idea how long was left or what speeds I was getting!
Don't suppose anyone has a FFO for dummies guide do they? Can I just create a single character and have access to everything the game offers (With enough time/effort, obviously) through the job system or is it like WoW/CoH (My only reference points) that has classes with unique abilities?
One for FFXI would probably be fine, I'm sure the nuts and bolts of the game will be the same or similar.

From what I played of XIV before I got bored, other than the character races (which are the same but have been renamed) this game is not like XI at all.
In fact, that is probably why I am having so many difficulties getting engrossed in the alpha. Everything just feels alien and wrong.
The job system is totally different, subjobs don't exist (as yet), combat is dealt with in a different way (no auto-attack).

I read somewhere that the combat system will be completely different when they finally get to beta, it's just a place-holder system at the moment.
Got a schedule mail earlier. Didn't realise the servers were only available at set times.
Is there any way for NTSC-uk'ers to get in touch in-game in the alpha?

Looking forward to giving this a try tonight.
