Open Beta Started - Keys Currently Avaliable

[Kurgan]

Where do you enter the key? Do you add FFXIV as a service? I keep getting odd errors and want to make sure I'm looking in the correct area.

Read the e-mail you received with your key -- it has step-by-step instructions on how to add the service on your Square Enix account management page.

Finished my fiancee's application about 10minutes ago and still haven't gotten the email. I'm wondering if it completed as they suspended the application process. <_<

Are version update details under NDA? I wasn't around during other phases and navigating the tester site to look for info is torture at the moment.

edit: let me rephrase... I'm looking at the version update details on the tester site right now but I don't want to navigate away in case something explodes - wondering if I'm allowed to post the details here without getting the ban-stick

Got a key a while ago; just copy the terms of service page URL into like 15 Firefox tabs and keep F5ing as they time out. Been spamming the account login page with absolutely no progress, not even seeing the login screen.

EDIT: Wow lucky, got into account page finally, went through the 3 windows or so to type in beta key really quickly, then typed in Beta key. Went to a terms page, hit enter, timed out, tried again, went through that then two more pages and finally added the service. Does anyone know if the "Update Page" in the client viewer actually attempts to refresh it? It doesn't seem so, I just keep closing and opening the whole client when I get "Service Unavailable (Busy)".

Nuuu, the update shitted out on me at 90%. Was goin 1.1meg/sec and now its dropped back to like 12kb/sec. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFF

You missed your chance, now stop spamming refresh and get the fuck out.

Got a code but no luck logging into member site to associate it yet, fortunately years of FFXI have accustomed me to failure.

[Buddy]

The play button is a lie, doesn't fucking work.

And I have a reason to lie because?...

[BunkMonk]

My friend who's in said he didn't notice any new hairstyles

I was going to check the hair...but I got distracted.

Seems each race has different starting stats.

So, so very true. This whole thing turned out exactly how everyone expected it to.

[Gokulo]

Anyone hitting resend or getting the info the code was already send upon logging got an e-mail yet?

My friend who's in said he didn't notice any new hairstyles

Lala female only had 4 hairstyles available in P3 compared to the 8-9 of other races though, so the assumption was more would be added to that race/sex specifically.

[Decy]

Their service page seems to like randomly jumping between the server busy image, the maintenence image and a full on connection error still. Seems it doesnt know whats going on itself lol i just wanna enter my code Q_Q

[Kirb]

You can't really 'fix' people spamming a server anymore than you can fix a DDoS attack
