      I'm downloading the beta whenever it comes up tonight, will let it go while I'm doing birfday stuff during the day and be ready to go whenever the game actually goes live.

      I think we agreed to create on Sargatanas, right? It's not a problem that it's a legacy server, is it?

        Well, better late than never - the download's underway now even though I couldn't start it till I got back.

        If this really is all 20 GB at once this is an all-nighter for sure.

        Edit: No, it looks like around 7 GB. I'm talking about PC of course. That will (or at least should) be done well before the beta commences in the early morning tomorrow.

          Yeah, I just started it not too long ago. Said it'd take me 60-90 minutes to finish so I just left it on in the background while I grind away in EQ.

            Ugh.. PS3 update server has been down all day... Square Enix has knew about the issue since like, 7 AM PST and it's still not working yet.. They haven't posted any updates on the beta forums all day either, just that the NA PS3's were the only ones effected and that Japanese and Euro's were fine..

            [NA] [PS3 Version] Version Update Issue (Aug. 15) - Right now we are experiencing technical difficulties with the North American PlayStation®3 version where the error message, "No valid service account is available to play FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn," is displayed when players press the log in button on the launcher, and they are unable to complete the version update. We are currently addressing this issue with the cooperation of Sony Computer Entertainment and new updates will follow as additional information becomes available. Please note that this issue is only occurring on the North American PlayStation®3 version. The Windows version and Japanese/European PlayStation®3 versions are unaffected. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

              5 minutes of wandering around Gridania tells me that this is sooooo much more optimized from Phase 3. The benchmark was right - I'm gonna be able to play max settings with very few issues.

              Also: Random character naming option according to Eorzean lore.

                I'm glad I could make a Lalafell named Abba Zabba and it fits Eorzean naming convention.

                So yeah... if any of you roll up on Excalibur, shoot Abba Zabba a tell for some group fun.

                      I do.

                      Character name: Notoni Etoni (you guessed it...I'm Lalafell. )

                            Heads up for the night owls: The NA/EU beta has been extended to 10:00 AM Central today. Not much, a few hours more but it's enough to get some of us who got hit with error 3102 (the "already logged in" message) back into the beta before it ends. Myself included.

                              3102 hit me pretty hard.. Kept me from getting some quality time with it after I had expected to play it for most of the weekend. Still got 20 Marauder, 17 Gladiator, and a few classes to 8 or so for random cross class abilities. Can't wait for retail, even if the game may be a little simple/easy, it's still lots of fun to me. Need more people in the OS LS.

                                I got Conjurer to 20, Alchemist to 16 and Pugilist to 15 I think. That last one was almost entirely from the Hunting Log and FATEs - it's amazing how fast you can level with just those and the Well Fed 3% XP Bonus. And I didn't even have the inn's Well Rested status which would have made it even faster.

                                While leveling as Pugilist I also made several rescues with my CNJ for people I ran across who were in trouble. I set that gear set to my Hotbar so I could swap between them anytime and it worked pretty well (aside from the long cooldown after the swap - I had to let people know in chat that I was trying to raise them).

                                One question about Raise - Sometimes when I cast it on someone they didn't recover immediately, and instead had some kind of Raise status granted. Is it up to the KO'd player to accept a raise or something?
