Sorry for the confusion!

Unless they don't count the Weekend. Then few days is a Monday =).

just SE dont interrupt my Simcity 5 Closed Beta 2 weekend >.<

DING DONG! (door bell)

how is... at this time soo late......

hey hello im BAYOHNE the morbol. i just walked by and come to KILL YOUR DREAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no EMAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

for anybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, whenever the invites are sent out, I just hope I get one. Sadly, I'm feeling pessimistic about my odds.

Besides missing my chance at Legacy status, I just had to go and foolishly give an honest answer when the beta application form asked whether I was in the games industry...

:/

My past experience with that is when a beta application form asks whether you're in the industry, they're basically asking "would you like to be excluded from our beta?" But I was at least allowed to finish the application form, which not every company does on their beta applications, so maybe there's hope? Well, we'll see.

The fact that they keep sending me emails to remind me to register for the beta isn't helping either... :(

Thanks for letting us know! We LOVE you!

The invites will come when they come. I don't know why people get upset or feel tricked by emails from SE....

keep an eye out for your SUMMONS... Word play? Maybe... Just maybe...

Just a curious choice of words! They could have said keep an eye out for your invite! Arcanist in Beta?

Yeah I would agree.

Well, I have a lot of work, so I can think about something else in the meantime. That's the best way, if you think about something to much ... bullet time mode turns on and you start freaking out ;)

normal day - bullet time

My eye is still out... it's really kinda starting to hurt. :(

Except my eye is not on my mail but on the lodestone.

Legacy. No email today, you guys?

Don't think they have started sending them out yet.

I think they'll announce when they'll start sending them on twitter.

ya noting yet i have a feeling they going to send them up end of the week :(

I even checked my SE account, and nothing.

Maybe I should heck the bed?

Well, Bay did say a few days ( but I think that was to calm people down). However, it could come tomorrow.

My guess would be Thursday-Friday, Prime time of availability for most gamers, prime download time, the weekend to devote to play and it would be a prime ramp up time. Monday morning the devs come in to see the servers loaded. ;)

Well there should be a lot going on between this week and next week. Friday we have the Live Letter, should have our beta invites by then. Should be getting the Benchmark and beta access next Monday, and the release of all the info from the media tour.

I don't know why you guys are making such a big deal about receiving the beta invite as soon as possible. We're not going to be able to play until the 25th anyway, until then when we receive them is sort of moot.

Just seeing it on my account is... an HONOR!! Just anxious to see the words "Final Fantasy XIV ARR- Beta" Link to my account. It's the little kid inside me. ^.^

they don't want us to have the Game downloaded soo early, soo maybe latter today they posted the benchmark soo we can be prepared for porno weekend and this will add some fun to the forums people posting they results

I think we're just checking in here to confirm we aren't the only ones who haven't received an email yet. ^^ Otherwise, not really pressed.

Except that the beta starts on the 25th, which is a monday, and phase 1 will be limited to certain hours on certain days so devs can focus on testing certain aspects when lots of people are online. Servers won't be up 24/7 until phase 2 probably.

Downloads people, you still have to DOWNLOAD the beta. that takes time. for some mins, others HOURS.
