That's not the point of a beta though. Beta is meant for stress testing servers along with free bug testing from the community.

I have participated in plenty of beta tests (some currently at the moment) to know what they're for and I did my fair share of that in alpha and I will probably do more off and on. I am actually one of those people that sends detailed reports.

You have a fair point however I find it difficult to believe that so many people would get overly excited for stress tests and reporting bugs.

I have yet to see a post along the lines of "Boy I can't wait to submit a ton of bug reports."

No reason for people to get all over me for it and I knew the bugs / stress thing would be pointed out. Just saying I guess I am not as excited as some people.
Call me selfish for enjoying progression and not wanting to play the same area over and over when they've had a lot of time to iron out major issues as it is.. i'll accept that =) /shrug.

Give it to someone who wants to play beta then =).

AFAIK wouldn't it be flagged for my account as was alpha? I'm not giving that info out lol.

Have you stopped to think that being legacy is a tell?

Even if they send the invites in waves, you should receive yours eventually, meaning no legacy player is worse off merely confirming their invitee status.

Otherwise, you might as well start denying being legacy as well.

If that email says I cannot tell anyone, then I'll follow it. I'm not going to risk getting temp ban just to inform someone on the the forum.

Well, you do get a Beta Registration code ( if that's how your account gets flagged). Not sure if your account auto gets the status before putting in the code, I don't know that (because I wasn't in Alpha).

for alpha I was emailed a download link. My account was flagged so I could log into the client.

If I for some reason get a separate code, I'd be happy to give it out!

In preparation for the beta test of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn, we have an announcement for players who meet the requirements for legacy status.

Before the beta test servers go online, an e-mail containing your beta registration code will be sent to the address registered with your Square Enix Account. Please confirm that your e-mail address is correct before the codes are distributed.

so be it then.

Well i'm sure most of everyone in here is Legacy ( or at least among the active ones anyway). Not sure if your even allowed to give them away but it will be what it will be.

well thinking about it now, i'll probably need it for phase 3 and 4, lol.

Well, at phase 3 and 4 Most people will be in the beta ( Phase 3 will be like an open Beta but you would still need a code) and if you gave away your code, then you probably wouldn't be able to get into beta till phase 4.
