LOL what the hell.

Do these typically hit at once or is there still hope for me? Neither of my SE IDs are showing as being part of the beta so I going to assume I didnt make it this time either. Ugh.

Waits for the OMGZ crash and burn.

If everything is merged as well as the play times...I guess this counts as closed beta phase 2?

What server are the majority of you on btw ?

Might be worth trying to make some parties to kill stuff, do higher guildleves and battle regimens etc.

So wait there's only 20 hours of beta, but i can't even log on to get my client before then?

(Tried to log on got an error)

A tip to help you land on a server of your choice is to make 3 characters with the exact same name.

They will obviously be forced to different server, increasing your chance to be on the one you want.

Edit:- according to someone over at BG there were 6k testers added today for america alone, so assuming they have added 6k from EU and 6k from JP they seem very confident in their servers, either that or they have added a bunch of new ones.

Edit 2:- Seems I was wrong they are still adding NA users its currently at 12k :|

Looks like SE are going big time.

Im able to log into the tester site and Ive had the client downloaded for like a week and it just updated just now.

Of course I get an error when trying to start the game now but looks like Im ready to go for tomorrow.

If it doesnt run on my PC Ill probably spend most of tomorrow night figuring out upgrades :(

Well, I just got invited to this. I thought something was wrong with my account until I read what others are saying. I assumed I'd be able to download the client at least and be read to go for tomorrow. Oh well.

Ewww. Server up times. :(

Looking forward to checking this out though. I enjoyed FFXI until I got to the "you need a group for this" level cap nonsense.

So, can I download the beta client from the OP and take it from there?

I'm trying to run the version update and it seems this is going to take a REALLY long time. o.o;;

Is 150kb/s about the same as everyone else is getting? :lol

Using the client i was getting 24 kb/s, i ended up switching t Utorrent (there is a torrent file in Documents/My Games/FFXIbeta .. etc.) and it was much faster.

I'm missing out on so much.. I'm still downloading the first beta version.... siiigh.


Anyone ever try using those USB internet connection things for the laptop. That you pay for every month? Do those give you fast a connection? My internet is having issues and will not let me download the beta version since the friday after last.

I'm trying to download the client(just got into the beta in these last invites), but for some reason the download wont start from mediafire. Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong?

Anyone got an idea why it crashes when trying to run? I'm guessing it's because my drivers are out of date as it's the same as what happened with the benchmark.
