Since the login to FINAL FANTASY XIV in the last 30 days could not be confirmed, you are not allowed to log in to the official FINAL FANTASY XIV forums.

So i really do not know what to do. I had a friend talk to me about some bata something or other to try it out. I bought the orginal game and it says 1.0 is no longer in service and install it.

so does this mean everything I did will not transfer over? and I have to buy a new game? I am really confused even after trying to find some answers.
If you played 1.0, then you don't have to worry about re-buying the game, since you already bought it once (unless you want the bling that comes with the pre-order code or the collector's edition mounts). When the game goes live on the 27th, as an existing 1.0 player, you'll be able to download the new game for free. Also, if you have 1.0 installed, you can uninstall it, because this is a completely new client.

Everyone's character transferred over, and as long as you log into the beta or retail game with your existing account info, your character should be there. There HAVE been instances where the character is missing, but if this happens to you, you'll need to let them know.
