Innteresting. Normally I discount these as a phishing attempt, but the damn launcher itself told me they disabled my account due to suspicious activity:

I'm pretty sure my system is clean, only questionable thing I've done is use that FF14 beta client torrent linked on these forums Time will tell.

What's the deal with Gilgamesh staying locked? Does anyone know if it will ever open, and if so, the time frame?

I've got a few IRL friends that are licking their chops to play.

I actually just got off with their chat support. I had a tab open with my queue from yesterday and I hit enter chat at about 8AM PDT knowing that they don't know open until 9. Well, the hour went by, I was #1 in queue at 9 and I actually go to talk to someone! Fucking Ricardo L. escalated my ticket and said it could possibly take 2 weeks. Cool story.

for those who registered a key to the wrong account here is a reddit thread link discussing what to do and how fast its being solved for people
http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...e_account_now/

tl;dr version for people thinking about this game: it reminds me a lot of rift and tera. mechanically very, very similar to every other MMO. does a few things in a weird way that makes it fun for now, will be supremely tedious after a few weeks. a few cool features (from ff11) like jobs (one char can do EVERYTHING eventually). Just like tera and rift, in 3-6 months almost everyone will stop playing unless square is the single MMO developer in the world who can release quality content on a regular basis (yeah right).

Enjoyable for a few weeks to months though. If you are currently playing an MMO, it is very unlikely you will like this (unless you are a final fantasy/anime nerd), you pretty much have to have that MMO-craving from being unsubbed for months or years to enjoy it.

Servers are all fucked during prime time so don't play unless you are ok logging in at like 10am and staying logged in all day.

I don't get how people are able to login or get a queue. I have NEVER seen this queue at all.. starting to think there is something wrong with my install. I've been trying sporadically since Saturday to login and I was able to create my character then the world is full error message. Error 1017 I think. Since then I have tried about 30 times to login in, same error never once seen that queue pop up. Ended up having to make a character on a jap server just to try the game.

What was this for? I'm just needing my accounts combined, I did what everyone else did and created a 2nd account with my actual release / CE code. If it's gonna be 2 weeks f that and I'll go buy a physical copy.

[11:21:18] [Zp Zp] please play summoner correctly
[11:21:27] [Drago Highwind] what?
[11:21:29] [Zp Zp] you need to dot every mob in the pull
[11:21:37] [Zp Zp] focusing on one target makes you the worst dps in the group by far
[11:21:42] [Drago Highwind] whats wrong with that he had hate?
[11:21:57] [Zp Zp] i'm saying you need to put bio/miasma on a target
[11:22:02] [Zp Zp] then switch targets and put it on another target
[11:22:08] [Zp Zp] your goal as arcanist should be to never cast ruin
[11:22:11] [Callo Stone] any advice for me
[11:22:13] [Zp Zp] unless every single mob is dotted on a pull
[11:22:22] [Zp Zp] no. you're an archer. archers do crazy dps and are almost impossible to screw up
[11:22:33] [Callo Stone] i bet i can find a way to haha
[11:22:42] [Zp Zp] you're doing almost triple the damage of our arcanist right now per the meters tho
[11:22:44] [Drago Highwind] just focus on healing. thanks
[11:22:46] [Zp Zp] which is why i brought up to him
[11:22:53] [Zp Zp] that he needs to play properly
[11:22:58] [Zp Zp] because he's dragging the group down hard atm

[11:23:00] [Zp Zp] also gogo
[11:24:33] [Drago Highwind] guess i wasnt dsoing that bad eh looks u coulda used me. (Note: He AFK'ed and stopped attacking the boss at this point)
[11:26:47] [Arcavius Wyman] why attacking sleeping one
[11:27:59] [Zp Zp] i like how bad players
[11:28:04] [Zp Zp] get pissy when you mention that they're playing badly
[11:28:10] [Zp Zp] even when you tell them how to not play like shit
[11:28:32] [Drago Highwind] lol ur a piece of shit bud, go back to WoW
[11:28:45] [Zp Zp] pretty sure that's your department since you can get away with being a shit dps in that game
[11:28:55] [Callo Stone] so we are killing all adds correct?
[11:28:56] [Drago Highwind] mr. im so freaking good i have smn lvled but playing whm so im gonna tell ppl how good i am
[11:29:10] [Zp Zp] how about you just listen to what i say

I think the majority of the live chat things aren't real issues, they're just the new service account bullshit. Short conversations like "yeah, we waited in line, fix this? K thx"
