Really hesitant to grab it on PC, don't know if this old laptop can handle it, but I'd really prefer that over consoles. :/

Steam name is RogerHuxley, I already added Parn yesterday, I'll add the others.

For patching issues  this website has everything too ; http://tehkrizz.net/downloads.asp

That's what I've been using, since for almost every patch I got stuck with timeouts.

Well this was weird, I died for no apparent reason after finishing an enemy and the battle log just told me "You defeated you."

The hell?

I started on Ultima Online too. Played on some shards called Zuluhotel, real fun shit.

god damn, pretty cool. I'm gonna play for a while tonight, but I'm still at the early beginning. I feel pretty fucking lonely as a Roegadyn, we're so scarce.

It's still extremely disappointing to have a game like this being released in what seems like an incomplete state. Especially from Stardock since they were the first to advocate a gamer's "right" to have a working product at launch.

I don't doubt that they'll keep supporting the game to make it better and better, and Brad Wardell himself stated he'd do it all by himself if needed, but still, this should never have happened.

Bad timing then, I guess. :/

I'm starting the game for the first time now, although I most likely won't play it a lot tonight. It's so freaking hot my laptop has trouble evacuating heat too, so yeah.

Mysidia doesn't even appear on my world's list though, so uh. Going to Trabia then I guess, name's Cymvor Windsailor.

I got everything through, I'll be getting the game, but I doubt I'll be able to play until tomorrow night, and even then, such a long day tomorrow.

edit : the game download is slower than an asthmatic snail with generalized cancer and AIDS.

I can't even log in the account management system to get my key. I type in my username and password, the page reloads, I don't get any incorrect password/username message and my password is still in the box. What the fuck? If I type random crap I do get an usual error message so I really assume it's the right password.

God dammit, squeenix.

Account management system is in maintenance though :/

The minute I post this I check again and now it's fine.

Meanwhile... *logs in* A TECHNICAL ISSUE HAS OCCURED -_-


And now...
FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test Postponed

FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, which is scheduled to begin at 19:00 (PDT) on Aug. 31, 2010, will be postponed due to a confirmation of critical bugs. New schedule will be releaseｄ at a later date.

Along with the postponement of FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test, the issuing of registration code for FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test will be postponed as well. With the download of client software's installer, it will be suspended at 19:00 (PDT) on Aug. 31, 2010.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I wouldn't mind playing with other 'fanners, so if you guys pick up a server let us know.

I absolutely despised the first two Gothics, but I don't even remember why since it's been so long since I played them. Never touched 3. Maybe I should give them another shot. Or maybe not.

After reading stuff about Elemental, well what I was scared of happened. The game is apparently plagued with serious bugs and glitches, some being near gamebreaking. That's really shitty, and I expected more from Stardock. I'd have prefered a delay over an incomplete product.

I gotta admit this topic is making me hesitate to get the game at launch. I played a slight bit of FFXI a while ago and I haven't been able to seriously get into any other MMORPGs despite wanting to and I thought FFXIV would fix that, now I just dunno :/
