Yeah that's kind of the most obnoxious thing about it. Wish I could just, you know, hit retry, rather than having to fucking relog every attempt.

Unless....

Fuck me.

I got the beta details on all three of my SE accounts. I had only applied for the beta on two of them, so I don't think you should worry too much about missing an opportunity.

Nvm, i figured it out but "Applications for the FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test have been temporarily suspended. Please wait until we are ready to accept new applications and then try again. " :<

**Valkrish** · 2010-09-02 00:26

change that- the final squeeze is now waiting in line

**superzombie23** · 2010-09-02 00:28

Participants of closed beta test also need to obtain and register dedicated registration code for the open beta test. Please follow the directions listed in the mail "Guide to the FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test," which was sent to the participants of closed beta test on Aug. 31, 2010, and obtain the registration code from FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test Application Site.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I honestly, can not adequately express the way I currently feel about Square-Enix. Their stupidity and obvious ineptitude when it comes to communication and common courtesy to their playerbase is more and more apparent each day. To tell your testers that they did not need to register and they would get a code in the mail and then change their mind but only AFTER the window for obtaining a key tonight was over, is just plain unforgivable.

I played through the BS that was Aion. Listened intently to NCSoft softly blow smoke up my ass for 6 months before I got tired of it and canceled. The list of communication issues SE has already had with XIV is fast apporaching NCSoft's record for Aion. Aion has been out for nearly a year now and XIV hasn't even hit store shelves. Congratulations Tanaka & Co. for winning the race of worst communication in an MMO.

the game is automatically set to high-resolution/settings, do be careful

Yea, it's so simple to code... Maybe they should hire you to fix all this.

Huh?

I don't know what they've said before, but the post from few days ago made it pretty clear that EVERYONE needs new keys.

Nah, there was actually an announcement today saying that previous beta testers didn't need to get new keys, before they pulled it.

He's being pretty damn butthurt about not being able to play for a few hours, though.

Same crap is happening to me.

Easy now, no need to get the SE Defence Force involved. It is a valid criticism. The game should not crash when there is a lobby error, it is annoying as shit when you have a long password that you have to put in each time, not to mention the damn one time code for people that have tokens.

**Pikarya** · 2010-09-02 00:39

SE has a resume full of spaghetti code. Either way, white-knight on broham

I guess they should hire you as well. What do you want them to do ? Invest $500,000 dollars on servers just to deal with server load issues during one day ?

It's the same with pretty much any game going this route and i'd defend them as well.
