I was able to log in this morning! Granted it's 10 minutes before work. But hey. It's...something?

My friends have been logging on Sarg without any problem right now.
Logged in no issues, fuck yeah.
Logged in, but had to go to work. We'll see how things really are in the afternoon.
NAs sleeping, EUs working/in school. At least the servers function at minimal stress.
I'm grateful that tonight I'll be able to join the lotto club and try to get into the game. Time to piss away more of my life.
Kinda' hard to keep up with actual information through the bitchin' but... are they extending the early access for a few days (a day) longer?
Preorder registration is until the 30th so you can get your cait and hat. A release delay hasn't been announced.
I was confused by this: "Early Access Period: August 24, 2013 (Saturday), 2:00 a.m. to August 29, 2013 (Thursday), 11:59 p.m. (PDT)" on the lodestone but I guess they are just referring to when you can enter the code...? Though you could enter the code before the 24 so it's not really clear.
Having little to know knowledge of how the classes played I was pleasantly surprised to see how combos worked on mnk and how positioning on lnc could make a big difference in combat instead of just facerolling buttons. It's made leveling more interesting and even made me feel like there is some skill involved in playing even at low level content. It's almost let me forgive them for forgetting to put DRK and THF in the game... Almost...
Thf got mashed into Mnk a little since it has Flee and lots of sneak attack positional shit. And Warrior ate Dark, since it's a drain-HP style tank.
Yeah I see certain mechanics from them in the other jobs, but I want dual weild stabby and a scythe or gswd job. Being it's ff and there's not a class with a giant fn sword seems off in general. I'm sure we'll see more added down the road though. I would imagine Marauder could split into Warrior or DRK with drk being Drain style DPS instead of tank.
Finally managed to get my first real uninterrupted (no crashes/bugs, instances & duty finder all working, etc.) game session, from last night's maintenance to just now.
Gotta say, once all the damn server issues go away this game is fun as hell to play. Just hit 28 on GLD and still feel like I never run out of new/fun things to do.
Spoiler: show
I dunno. I couldn't see them adding a new drain-hp job. I would imagine they'd take the opportunity to play up Dark nukes some more, or just make its moves combo with Abs-stats and buff itself to hell. But eh. All I care about is the eventual addition of a gun wielding job and, God willing, Puppetmaster.
Apparently people have the Couerl mount already? Any info how they got it early?
Oh, just need to relog to get them it seems.
Spoiler: show
Got Arcanist to 31. Unlocked Summoner and Scholar. I love the hell out of both jobs. I also love Arcanist. It's crazy. Did someone read my mind and implement my desires into a single class? I may not be crazy about the other jobs or classes but I am Arcanist-for-life.
Also I look pretty on my unicorn. My only sadness is that she doesn't sidesaddle. Damn!
Level 34 Titan fight is really fun. Was a bit challenging in a pug group, but I think it was because our healer was ass. But he kept going OOM.
Looking forward to extreme mode and watching people get knocked off over and over again.
Hey the game let me in. I'd been getting "Wait for the MogStation yo" since EA started. Sweet. Currently joining the 1017 rebellion. Rowrow fight the server.
