Beta invite GOT!

edit:

if i download client on my computer (lower end PC close to bare minimum required specs) then go to my friends house and download the client there on his nice computer will I get banned from alpha testing? I'm assuming I would.

No, why would you? You may download the client as many times as you want. Yes, you inform them about your specs during application but that's more of a courtesy issue, many people have access to multiple computers/laptops with different specs.

...no. They won't even bother checking IP's individually unless you get flagged by some suspicious activity like logging on from same IP with multiple(5+) accounts at the same time.

People have different IPs at home, at work, at their summer house, school, parents, etc. or sometimes non-static addresses at the same location.

Good, I wanted to know this as well. I plan to install the alpha on both my laptop and my desktop.

On the bright side, those of you who didn't make it don't have to deal with the retardation on the tester forums.

**RPGTyrant** · 2010-03-30 08:28

It's such enriching content to read. With topics like "Count until we reach 10,000 or the client goes live!", "Rant!" and "wooo 500 posts!" I could be engaged in endless discussion there all day.

The whole post, can I see it? D:

Even though I guess it'll basically say "we fixed the problems". =P

Why don't you just download it once and copy it to an external drive instead of downloading 10gb twice?

It was our intention to have the Alpha Version client ready for download before the end of the month, but efforts to stabilize the program have required more time than we originally estimated, and our target date has been pushed back to early April.

Some may wonder what could be taking so long if we are simply recreating what was already accomplished in FINAL FANTASY XI. While our programmers have been building on previous experience, they have also been (and are still) hard at work implementing several new, unique features to our world servers, as well as preparing server architecture for forthcoming updates in what we hope proves to be an extensive run for FINAL FANTASY XIV.

The Alpha Version release has also been quite the challenge for our quality assurance testers, many of whom also served on FINAL FANTASY XI. The past few weeks have presented the QA team the difficult task of assisting the development team in determining the optimal time to make the Alpha Version available. I am positive that the fruits of their labor will be evident during everyone’s time in Eorzea.

The road has been long, but is safe to say that the wheels are in motion, and in a matter of days, we will see all of you online! Until then!

FINAL FANTASY XIV Director

Confirmed that's on the test site. At least I can stop watching the site for a week or two now.

**Hyan** · 2010-03-30 11:09

Great, thanks! At least the dev team can still work on making the alpha more stable, when problems with the servers are being dealt with. Or thats what Id think
