You'd think they'd learn their lesson after the first launch that bombed. Dunno why they are so incompetent.

So point of interest, as I was mentioning to AA:

If you login to the SERVICE account (the secure.square-enix.com one) and go to your account details on the left, it says something like this (using mine for an example):

Country: United States
Region: The Americas

^ Do I need to say why this is important to know, at this point? If nothing else, it should help you figure out WHICH ONE you should redeem your EA 20-digit code for. And, for science, Ut should tell the forum if his beta account from last weekend says Country: US Region: Europe/UK!

GMG is sending theirs out in a separate email after the 24th for sure, I emailed their support about my missing loot =)
Are they sending the regular (non-CE) codes then too?

And I wouldn't worry about losing the open beta weekend's progress. Honestly, if you think about it, you're only losing 3 days at the most. It sucks, but it's not the end of the world.

I preordered (and canceled) this twice from amazon, so I have two codes. I just used one and was able to get into NA Early Access with it with no problems on the account I was using during the open beta. If you would like, I can send you the other code, no need to trade anything. It may or may not work, but should, since the code I used was the first (older one) and the code I'll give you is from last week. I dunno. But if you want it its yours, just PM me.
You are theman. Worked like a charm, thanks again! Over 48 hrs dicking around with SE's convoluted process and horrific customer service, and I get everything cleared up in 30 seconds with a new code. If you roll on Gilgamesh I will craft you a diamond-studded subligar.

On the same note, I now have an extraEU(RAAE) early access code. If you have an EU registered account and want early access, PM me - first one gets it.

Try reddit before you piss away a weekends worth of leveling. Or just get a new early access code from gamestop/wherever. I've also seen soem people have success with re-entering their initial code athttp://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com/after sorting out what regions code they actually need. In some cases if the RAAE/RAAU code issued from there was not redeemed you could get a new code for the other region. YMMV, search the ffxiv subreddit for PSA and you will probably find a fix for your particular issue.

I'm just glad it worked.

I had a character on Gilgamesh. Then I got the 3102 error and when they cleared it up and I tried logging in I couldn't do anything, and my character was "missing", so we'll see how it goes.

Like I said, hard two semesters coming up, probably won't play much, if any, anyway.

Well in case anyone was wondering, looks like you can play the PC version in early access if you had 1.0 and got the ps3 pre-order code. Guess I had to wait until today to get the email and for the login server on the ps3 to go up in order to sync the accounts. All set to go, now just to decide on which version to play on. Surround sound on my ps3 or better graphics on the PC... probably the PC though because I don't want to learn how to play on the controller this weekend.

I feel you on the class situation. One of the reasons why I'm not planning on rushing anything and really focusing more heavily on gathering/crafting. The other reason being that I wouldn't have time to rush anyway hah.

Bunch of filthy casuals... Lol

Will be online and ready to roll at 2am. I didn't play any of beta, and so I've got to get on the right server and catch up in levels.

On a side not, got to love the wife. Tell her early access starts at 2am and she says so are you going to take a nap after work so you are ready? Haha.

Gotta get all the chores out of the way, stock up on supplies, and get ready for a marathon session that would kill an Asian gamer in an internet cafe.

Looking forward to starting a character and getting in on this Saturday. RL friends are scattered to a half dozen servers, Rerolled folks are on a server no one else I know is on, and WoW guild folks are on another entirely separate server.

Guess Imma just roll a die to figure out where I end up.

The RR server is going to have the most drama, making it the obvious choice.

So..... yay and fuuuuuuuuuuuuu

1) + internet for Vorph for the tips on the FX fix and new drivers. I pushed the settings up and still got a 400 point increase. Now at 5300, highest I have ever gotten. So that works.

Then the fuuu part

2) Somehow that install completely fubared my firefox. Adobe flash will no longer run. No youtube videos, no nothing. It just crashes outright. I tried resetting to 13.4 drivers, nothing. Tried upgrading to beta again, nothing. Tried reinstalling firefox, nothing. Tried reinstalling adobe, nothing. What the fuck is happening? Flash player works with every other browser I install, but I have ads now. ADS! I have not seen those in ages. Popups as well, those are a thing again. Are there other browsers with noscript and adblock? I need those things. I have no problem disabling adblock for certain sites to give them revenue, but the newspapers.... I just checked them, ads everyhwere, AND BEN AFFLECK IS THE NEW BATMAN? WHAT IS GOING ON?!!!! Everything is wrong this morning.

Man, I hope this isn't a "thing" I'm going to have to deal with. While at work this evening, I launched the patcher and downloaded the client. Shut it off probably 5 hours ago. I just got home, and figured I would start it downloading on my home PC. Wouldn't let me log in, said my account has been disabled due to suspicious activity. They sent me an email and I had to follow a link, and then change my password to re-activate it.

I'm guessing its because logging in at work is a different Pc on a totally different ISP, hell, in a totally different town.

Not that I expect to get too many opportunities to play at work, but here and there it may happen. Hopefully thats not a thing that happens back and forth every time.

Depends on how it's setup, if it's annoying it'll need resets everytime, if it's smart it'll save your IPs. Generally though if that was the case it'd send you a key to enter to confirm it's you, instead of forcing you to change your pass, so yeah I guess you'll have to do that crap everytime. At the same time, maybe, just maybe, there won't be thousands of people crying about security leaks because they got "hacked".

I will say this new engine of theirs runs extremely well on my machine which is a few years old now. I had swapped out the video card at the end of last summer, but I suspect even if I had not the game would look very pretty with a high frame rate.
