I Got A Beta Invite!

Or at least that's what went through my mind when I checked my e-mail and saw "SQUARE ENIX" as a sender but it was for the ARR newsletter :(

My heart started racing, and I got excited. I'm still a little ecstatic. Gotta breathe.. lol

I'd thumbs you down if i could for making me check my email.

I thumbed up you for making me laugh.


Edit: That doesn't sound right.

close the thread and ban the OP.

Calm down everyone. I think we're all a little ancy because it's February and beta is going to kick in soon. It's like the rain clouds are above us and we know the sky is going to burst at any moment. But you can't rush these things. Just gotta hold your breath and wait it out.

Jeez...its not like they're just gonna randomly start sending out invites -_- They'll make some kind of announcement regarding it, just like they did with Alpha invites.

Relax people Lol

Omg you're such a punk!! XD

I have to put a Lalafell curse on you now!

LOL I did the exact same thing as the OP this morning.

I got the same thing... I was confused that SE thought I didn't applied for BETA which I actually did weeks ago.

Guess, SE love to troll us all? Nah, they just sent to all account holders. :)

Suppose this is a good test for everyone. If you didn't get the newsletter, you may not have the right email address set up for your beta invite.

That's not true, maybe I could be wrong. Newsletter isn't always required to have an account like that. You still can unsubscribe the newsletter from SE.

What I read the bottom of that newsletter:

This newsletter was sent to provide the latest information about FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. If you would like to opt out of these messages, send a reply to ffxiv-newsletter@square-enix.com without changing the subject or body and we will no longer send you the newsletter.

---

I got that same e-mail, and my hopes were quickly dashed as well. Oh SE, why must you troll us so?!

At least you know you have the correct E-Mail Address listed in Square-Enix Account Management.

Lol I was equally confused by the email saying to apply for beta, when I shouldn't have to being Legacy and all...

Those who received the newsletter, are you in the US? A friend of mine and I didn't get the newsletter :) EU here.

Edit: Our email adresses are, without a doubt, correct.

I am a computer scientist so I don't think they assumed that they MAY not have the right email address even if they didn't get one but okay. If I recall correctly, when you applied for BETA they asked you for your e-mail address, didn't they?

This is the first FFXIV:ARR newsletter. You may have unsubscribed from FFXI or FFXIV newsletters when they came, but this isn't tied to those. Therefore, if you didn't receive it, update your account info and unsubscribe now if you'd like.

I didn't apply for beta because Legacy people don't need to apply. I know that as an account holder, they have my e-mail on file. They probably just send out newsletters to people who have or had accounts. I still get XI newsletters and I deactivated my account YEARS ago. Now, I never participated in Alpha for 1.0, but when I applied for 1.0 beta, I can't remember if had to enter an e-mail. I would imagine so otherwise, how would they contact me if I got in?

In addition, it seems that signing into your SE Management Account might send out a newsletter. There have been few reports on this in the forums.

I haven't signed on to my account management page since like, December and I still got one. Of course, maybe signing on to the forums is enough....

You are correct, Legacy members don't need to sign up for BETA (but they need if they want a PS3 version.) I believe that BETA sign-up is only for people who don't have an account for FFXIV can create a free-to-try account. Those newsletters we got today is supposed to let XI players know they can sign up for that without having FFXIV.

E-mail can send you a link to the new beta forums (login required) you download a BETA client from there.

Edit: I can't explain enough because this is the first MMO in the world SE has decided to redo all over again. lol

Ditto ... LOL ...

It was even worst when you checked your email with a cell phone, all I saw was Square Enix for the next few mins. At 3:30am ET, SE's site was "slow" and couldn't download the jpgs. SE did a nice "Feb Fools" on us all. :p

Why you gotta bait and switch bro?

If I could slap the OP of this thread somehow, I'd do it.

damn hitman trilogy...

Bahhhh!!! /killsyouformakingmecheckmyemail!

Got the same thing

After the hitman trilogy trolling I received, I'm pretty sure this will happen like with alpha, they'll flag the accounts, and even if you don't see the e-mail, you can see if your account is flagged.

I don't know, but there were people saying they saw their accounts appeared as flagged for alpha. I guess it'll probably appear in your FFXIV account service status or somewhere there.

When someone says "close the thread and ban the OP" you will realize that they are lying. :D

Unless, if someone bump this thread, say it again!
