My legacy character is level 6...that's how long I lasted in the first version of the game.

Shit - 25% bonus XP to everyone in the FCs Crafting and gathering XP. Holy priorities.
Considering the cost though, it doesn't really matter what our priorities are.

Not sure if FC housing is separate from player housing, and if it is, if it costs even more. But it sounds like 100-200k for small, 300-500k for medium, and probably around a million gil for a large house. If FC is more, it's going to take a long ass time.

Shit, can't download the patch because I'm still in fucked up "wrong region code being generated" limbo. Lame.

Oooh, you do get a month free? Shit.
Does anyone know if I buy the game today I'll get into the headstart? It still says pre-order on it. hmm

I think I'm going to forsake my Black Mage line (im at 22 thau, and 17 pug) and go for a warrior. Something about wielding a 2h axe just appeals to me. At 10 marauder right now.

Well in that case I'll be buying in a bit here. I'm rolling healer. I haven't been able to test out multiclassing yet but I know I want to rock heals mostly.. so. I guess I'll figure it out.

Fuck it boys. Bought it again on Amazon, got a code, got a US key.

Time to try to cancel my GMG order.

Horseshit.

Uninstalled the entire game, did it again, still the same error. Ports forwarded. Ran as administrator. Set compatibility to Windows 7.

Switched to wireless off of the same router, it continued and got 1 more file. Then it gave me the same bullshit error on the next patch piece.

Deleted the entire FFXIV directory from My Games, still the same error. AV disabled, same error.

Time number 9 coming up. This happened during the beta too, I just got around it by using some reddit torrent of the entire game. That's not an option every time I want to patch it, and there's no guarantee there would even be a patched version posted.

i preordered and got the email within 15 min with the early access code. entered it in the ps3 and started downloading. i was expecting to go through about 3-4 hours of bullshit juding by the previous threads. i have no idea why people had so many problems. is there another step that is the issue?
Also most the people have gotten their EA code by now, so it's probably butter smooth.

The e-mail I got from them was post dated 3 minutes after I entered my code, but I didn't get it until 24 hours later. Their mail queue must have been huge.

Wasn't there like multiple jobs or professions or whatever the fuck? Haha I don't even know. I'm going blindly into this game. I only played about 10 hours over the weekend.

Regardless, can't wait to play!

So I had trouble getting the patch yesterday to work on the torrent I downloaded of the game for open beta. I had to do the following, maybe it'll help you:

-On the folder, right click, remove "read only". Make sure it applies to all subfolders
-Open the folder, go into the two subfolders. For every .exe file, right click, properties, at the bottom see if you see a button about "Unblock". If so, click it.

I had to do that to all the .exe files (like 3-4 in one folder, 1 in the other), then the patch worked fine.
