I haven't read most of this thread, but, the fact that people who bought the collector's edition are not getting beta invites immediately is complete bullshit.
Ya!!!
Yikes. What is rent like under that rock?
^ When did you stop paying? You must have Legacy.
And they call -me- a troll. Well, idiots do.
Yeah, but if we purchased a game for $80 that was complete shit and unfinished, then the game is brought down to be redone, the people who registered and paid money for the game should have priority over random people. And as far as I'm concerned each person that registered FFXIV at launch should instantly be admitted into the beta too.
And yeah, go ahead and tell me to go back to the OF and complain but if you agree with random invites to people who don't even have FFXIV on their SE accounts, please enlighten me with reason.
Pretty sure Phase 1 is Legacy exclusive? Haven't seen these "random invites" you're talking about. I've also been site hibernating until recently though.
Because this isn't the place for it. There's no place for it on BG, really. SE made their decision. Love it or leave it. If you want to sound like a 3-year-old because you don't like what they're selling, then don't buy what they're selling.
It is what it is; you'll miss out on a few weeks of testing at worst. Get over it.
They prioritized people who supported the game til the end. You didn't. But your consolation prize is that you don't have to buy the game again and you'll get a free 30 days at launch.
Supporters get early beta access. Purchasers get a free entry to the new game but are put on the same beta applicant field as someone who never bought the game.
^ I couldn't say it better.
ITT: People fighting over data that will be wiped.
The media blitz begins and all these people who haven't touched the game since 2010 all of a sudden start crawling out of the woodwork demanding beta invites. So predictable.
