So I decided to take the plunge and preordered this from GMG last night, I'm going to have to juggle this alongside GW2 for some classic dungeon crawling. I've patched my beta client and put my info into that google spreadsheet but I won't be able to play for about another 14 hours or so....

I'm kind of wrestling with launch day nerves as to my character. My beta 4 miqo'te was made as a joke character with a decent amount of progress put into her, but I can't find a good middle ground between a pretty boy hyur and a brick wall. Will that 30 day sub character change potion let me change names?

You can try Hyur Highlanders for a less pretty-boy look.

Man its taking too long !!

Time to watch some anime to kill some time.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Here's hoping things are better once I'm home and have had some rest.

 

[demonkaze]

I never thought two hours would feel so long after waking up a short while ago. Still trying to work out (since p4 really) where to put my bonus points for a PLD.

 

[Zalasta]

Sweet thanks!

Got a name for your character yet?

 

[WolvenOne]

Honestly, as soon as my sleeping pills kick in, I'm gonna get a good nights sleep and tackle this in the morning. I won't enjoy it as much when exhausted.

Besides, it'll give the servers a couple hours to settle down.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Soon, my friends!

 

[Khrno]

Early Access starts in:

Yeah, I'm up and ready!

 

[Baleoce]

Postman could not have timed this any better if he'd tried!

Yusss

 

[jiggle]

not one of amano's better effort is it

attempt to sleep failed

 

[apricot]

Postman could not have timed this any better if he'd tried!

Yusss

Woo! Looks awesome

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Postman could not have timed this any better if he'd tried!

Yusss

[Goodacre0081]

[saveweyard]

I just woke up. What's happening?

 

[Fraxin]

Postman could not have timed this any better if he'd tried!

Yusss

Congrats to you. And what a timing.

 

[Kintaro]

I just woke up. What's happening?

Wrap yourself in the hype. Bathe in it.

 

[akaoni]

So is the game up yet? Im busy torrenting the client because their patcher has been failing me since alpha.

O another hour, thank goodness. I'll be ready on time. It was worth sleeping for 12 hours in preparation.

 

[Goodacre0081]

I just woke up. What's happening?

FFXIV was canceled!

 

[Alucrid]

so an hour to go. sleep for an hour or just ride it out

 

[Gaiaknight]

Postman could not have timed this any better if he'd tried!

Yusss

nice!

 

[Fraxin]

I just woke up. What's happening?

A new era is starting in less than an hour, will you be a part of it? or are you going to pass?

 

[vazel]

It's amazing how with MMOs we can have early access. You don't see that with single player games.

I already put all my cinnabons on separate plates that way they're all ready to be put in the microwave for 30 seconds.

 

[Ghizz]

meanwhile.....error 3

 

[Dits]

Any word on when standard edition 1.0 owners can upgrade to ARR CE? Guessing it wont be until proper launch now

 

[Morphine1680]

Damn, woke up 1 hour early, so much hype!!!!!

 

[Vashetti]

Hey guys, just woke up.

Any new PS3 patches since last night?

 

[Goodacre0081]

meanwhile.....error 3

holy shit. are people still getting an error3 with pre-order items?

 

[Dead Prince]

I just woke up. What's happening?

last minute service maintenance. set the EA to 4 hours from now.

 

[K.Sabot]

My CE hasn't shipped, bummer.

Also, are the CE items supposed to come in the box, or in an email?

 

[Jinko]

Postman could not have timed this any better if he'd tried!

Yusss

Nice, hoping mine will be here in the next hour or so.

 

[Ghizz]

holy shit. are people still getting an error3 with pre-order items?

well I'm a super late comer so yup. Apparently they ran out of codes to generate....even though pre-order codes keep coming out ._.

50minutes!

 

[Fraxin]

Didn't they email you a code?

 

[akaoni]

It has just went to over an hour. :'(

 

[raven777]

so its too late to apply for early access now, even if you have the 18 digit code?

 

[K.Sabot]

Didn't they email you a code?

They emailed the the pre-order rewards code.

Enter it on the website and find out \o/

 

[Ronok]

So I haven't been keeping up, but how do those of us who purchased the original version of 14 download the new client?

 

[Khrno]

Postman could not have timed this any better if he'd tried!

Yusss

Oh! He's not on strike, so maybe mine will come shortly!

 

[docbon]

holy shit. are people still getting an error3 with pre-order items?

yes. ;~;

can't even start the fucking download for the game overnight.

 

[Robin64]

Bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy!

its not me, someone I know has been asking.

he did everything (like changing you language settings) but still getting error3. I heard before that SE might be out of the codes.

[saveweyard]

That mix of hype and extreme sleepiness. Feels just like Christmas morning as a child.

 

[Vistrix]

Damn, woke up 1 hour early, so much hype!!!!!

same here. At least we can prepare ourselves!

Got a strong coffee and pancakes for breakfast!

They did state the keys were limited I think, blame all those fake preorder and cancels.

 

[Fraxin]

They emailed the the pre-order rewards code.

That is weird, I got mine just shortly after I placed my pre-order. Is it the activation code?

Which is baffling, honestly. How do you have more amazon early access codes than actual keys?
