So! What server are we all going to be on for beta this weekend?

**deepblue1180** · 06-26-2013, 02:22 PM

I saw in another thread that some people are already on Ultros. I have an old FFXI buddy who's legacy and is going to be on Hyperion (not sure if I can get on that one yet).

Umm...

Yeah!

Where are we meeting, everyone? Do we already have a linkshell/Free Company?

**HeroZero** · 06-26-2013, 02:49 PM

Legacy and will be on Sargatanas.

**loaf** · 06-26-2013, 03:48 PM

Ultros is where some old TFF members play on. I'm currently on Gilgamesh with some friends.

**LocoColt04** · 06-26-2013, 03:49 PM

Like you mentioned, some of us are on Ultros already. At the moment, there's no mix-match of Legacy players with new players, but they did open up a server transfer tool earlier this week. I am curious to see whether this will eventually allow cross-population or not.

**Victoria** · 06-26-2013, 03:59 PM

I don't know what server I'm going to be on. If there is a general/majority TFF server, aka Ultros or some such, I will go there. Cause, you know, boring to play solo and all.

**Rowan** · 06-26-2013, 04:15 PM

does anyone know where I might get a PC beta key from? Also, if I play on PC would I be able to join the same server as you guys?

**loaf** · 06-26-2013, 04:39 PM

The game is played by both platforms so everyone plays on the same server, was like that with FFXI. If you have a PS3 code you can trade it for a PC code on Reddit I'm sure.

Well i was able to login and download the pc version after activating my ps3 beta. So if you have either you can play it on computer, no need to trade codes or anything. It just seems like you ned the 'additional' ps3 promo code to do the ps3 beta.

I think i might just wait until august, which is the release, isnt it?

**Ryu-Kentoshii Hirokima** · 06-26-2013, 07:57 PM

Just let me know which server you guys are going on, I want to be on the one with all the people I know. Just got my code and downloaded the game. So Pumped! Send me a PM or VM with server suggestions please and thank you ^_^

**Andromeda** · 06-26-2013, 07:58 PM

Wow, Zam's still around huh? I sort of forgot about that place after I stopped playing FFXI. Good to see it is around still, always a great resource.

Anyway, I'm doing the install process right now. I had to go through a lot of trouble to get to my Members account on SE. But with any luck, I'll be ready for the weekend and not have any real downtime. The download speed is awful though.

Do they have a list somewhere of which are legacy servers are non-legacy servers? If Ultros is unavailable for non-legacy beta testers.

**Victoria** · 06-26-2013, 08:59 PM

How can you tell if you are Legacy or not, by the way? (Off topic question, i know. but i'm still curious)

**Andromeda** · 06-26-2013, 09:01 PM

Legacy users are people who bought the original FFXIV and registered the game before X date. I don't know what that date is, but likely you'd know if you were or not.

**noxious.sunshine** · 06-26-2013, 10:07 PM

I'm having issues with the whole damn thing.

I registered and opened my Squeenix account (had to do it on the laptop) & put the beta key in ... Buuuuut IDK how to access all this junk on my ps3? I'm so lost -_-;;

**LocoColt04** · 06-26-2013, 10:10 PM

The secondary code, the 12 digit one, was for your PS3. You punch that in on your system where it says "Redeem Code" either in the PSN store, or under options for your PSN account. This will download the beta software to your console, and then you can log in with your Square Enix account.

**Andromeda** · 06-26-2013, 10:13 PM

Yeah, once you finish all of the sign and management stuff on the PC. You just go into the PSN Store and put in the code. It'll download and install. It is a small file, just the client for the game. Once you launch that, the client, you'll need to sign with your SE Members account and then get through all of the EULA and NDA stuff. Then it'll start updating, which for me is taking hours. So best to let it run overnight.

**LocoColt04** · 06-26-2013, 10:23 PM

And definitely good to do it in advance, because the beta play goes live again on weekends for now. Updating in advance will make your access much simpler.

**noxious.sunshine** · 06-26-2013, 10:32 PM

aha. I found it.

I couldn't see it on my phone. and I just got access to the laptop.

Shame. We're leaving for TX in like 6 hrs. -_-; I won't be able to play yet.

**LocoColt04** · 06-26-2013, 10:35 PM

Welcome home. It was 102ºF today. Is there any way you can go ahead and do the download overnight while you sleep? Or has everything been packed up already?

**noxious.sunshine** · 06-26-2013, 11:00 PM

No no. Texarkana is the pits. We're going to Dallas for the day Friday/Tomorrow.

Alright I got all this stuff in and now it's saying I need to select shit, but I can't select anything.

EDIT:

Is that 'cuz it's not open yet?

**LocoColt04** · 06-27-2013, 07:38 AM

Correct! One your client is updated, it's the waiting game until Friday.

Every patch I've been downloading since the start of June have been small patches.

**noxious.sunshine** · 06-27-2013, 07:12 PM

Ha. the bf has been hounding me abt this.

Like I'm rly gonna let him play after all my hard work.

...Over my dead body!

...Or a bottle of Jack.

This shit is finally acting properly.

What server are we all gonna be on though, for real?

**deepblue1180** · 06-27-2013, 08:52 PM

For now, I'm just gonna go ahead and declare it Ultros, unless there are any objections...?

Whomever is first to make a linkshell, be sure to post and let everyone know!

Not sure what my name's going to be yet, but will post when I do!

**noxious.sunshine** · 06-27-2013, 09:09 PM

Psn keeps being gay. won't let me finish downloading it . it logs me out super double quick with a dns error.

**loaf** · 06-28-2013, 12:39 AM

I'll probably end up playing with a certain friend but I can probably convince him to play on a sever I choose but probably choose Loco's, ZRO's and Dawezy's Linkshell's server.

Last I heard Dawezy still wasn't playing FFXIV (I even offered him a free key last year), but ZRO is on Sargatanas with myself, or rather I am on Sargatanas with ZRO.

Also for the time immediately following release we won't be able to transfer to any 'fresh' servers, i think so established characters don't wreck the new servers economies. So we are stuck to Sargatanas, Balmung, Hyperion, or Excalibur (Ragnarok being a European server). I'll try and find out how long we will be relegated to these established servers.

**LocoColt04** · 06-28-2013, 12:44 AM

So that's be Ultros for the beta, at least.

Who doesn't love Ultros? We may just stay there for launch. Hmm.

**noxious.sunshine** · 06-28-2013, 02:03 AM

EEEEEEEE!! I'm so excited!

**Ryu-Kentoshii Hirokima** · 06-28-2013, 02:17 AM

If everyone is gonna be on ultros, I guess we should all just meet up there then. Who is going to Ultros? If it is a unanimous decision I will be going there myself.
