    Yeah. The 20th should start early access for preorders and open beta should start very soon.

      I know the screenshot was posted of the customer rep saying the early access would start on the 20th, but I just don't see it happening.. Yoshida said awhile back that early access would be 3-4 days at the most. The way i see it happening is:

      8th - Begin date of the allowance of registering your pre-order codes + Producer live letter that announces phase 4 beta date

      16th or 17th - Phase 4 beta begin

      23rd or 24th - Early access begin which would last over the weekend to the 27th when the game officially begins service

      The only other thing I could see happening is Phase 4 begins on the 9th or 10th instead, the next day after the live letter

        EQNext class design looks interesting... I will report more later. Still at the panels.

          Really hoping for Phase 4 weekend of the 9th/10th. Nothing going on that weekend for me.

            All good here:



            It did get kinda choppy in places so I might drop the settings a bit when I actually play. 16x9 is my monitor's native and max resolution, so I'm pretty happy with maxing out the game settings and getting a good benchmark.

              Agreed. With EQNext being (seemingly) action combat oriented... I am glad to say XIV will still get more than it's fair share of play from me. I'm super exited for EQN just to see how they implement everything they've said (and I love Norrath) but XIV will be my "classic" MMO game.

              Needs to come soon.

                Just ran the FFXIV Benchmark. Happy with the results but will be thrilled if Phase 4 is a go next weekend.

                  Randomly decided to play EQ2 again tonight, new character, got him to 12. I blame all the EQ Next press.

                  Probably won't log in again for months, thanks gaming ADD!

                    The producer live letter + Phase 4 announcement is scheduled for 5:00 AM Pacific. We'll know when it starts by the time I'm awake tomorrow!

                      FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY!

                      Though, it would kill all attempts at me getting this stupid 1.5 piece in EQ for the time being. Gah.

                          Looks like Hartsman has been brought in as CEO of Trion and theyve laid off most/all of the San Diego (Defiance) studio. Still a developing story.

                            That's a redonkulous "open beta".

                            3 Days isn't near enough for a beta test, let alone "open beta". Whatever. 8 days.

                              Should call it a demo at that point. Or a soft launch. Capacity is all thats really being tested.

                                FFXIV:
                                Open Beta Test phase 4 will run from August 17-19.

                                Pre-order Early access will run from August 24th until the 26th with official service begins on August 27th, but the servers won't go down after Early Access, so you'll be able to play non-stop from August 24th.
