I did it to support SE. Simple. PEopel who clearly invested and continued supportign them finacially so they could continue work, should be intitled to a little supprot in return and not sit waiting on a product they paid into.

ANyone who paid shoudl be moved in fast, but those that jumped on the last minute and grabbed a old copy at a reduculous cut in cost, shoudln't be moved ahead of the others.

please SE so we can start saving money for it >.>

I rather people who have actual feedback, and are playing to help make sure the product is ready, are the people that get into the Beta. Last time FFXIV was released, too many people were more concerned about getting ahead, than helping the game. I'm not exactly sure how SE can filter out these type of people though, but owning a CE doesn't mean these people will be helpful.

Honestly, I feel like Legacy members should get first dibs. Not CE-buyers. I bought a CE and didn't play it for more than a week until this past May.

Agreed, CE ppl with legacy status and that never stopped playing should have a free pass to square enix headquarters for life!

\^^/

People who bought C.E FFXIV and have Legacy should be the first to know about when the beta will take place and have a spot. That's just what I believe should happen.

Is WoW's Cataclysm expansion a beta for the Panda expansion?
1.0 is just the base game and 2.0 is for all intensive purposes a free expansion.

NO! NO NO NO NO NO NO! (ノ゜Д゜ノ) 彡 ┻━┻

I bought CE stopped playing for like 2-3 months but payed for each month since it went PTP ,_, does that mean I wouldn't get in?

Heres my opinion on this

Legacy members should be able to get into the beta. but not with their main character, the should have to create a new character and start as lvl 1

keep in mind those legacy players that do get in any progress gained during beta will not be kept after beta

and also participation in testing should be limited those better qualified and also based on how well they assisted during the alpha/beta stages of ffxiv 1

This i agree with.
Kinda like the test server for XI.
And CE or Legacy shouldn't matter. Loyalty and time played should be more important.
I've only been back for around 4 months after a 12 month lay-off. Just because i'm a Legacy player doesn't mean i should get a slot over someone that has played since release.

People should stop dreaming and coming up with such stuff ^^;
Aside of some simple filters like "being a currently playing acc", or pc specs it will all be RNG, as always.

This i agree with.

everything you typed after this does not agree with this statement O.o

Kinda like the test server for XI.
And CE or Legacy shouldn't matter. Loyalty and time played should be more important.

Loyalty/time played does not equal qualified. It should be handled like any other beta. getting in should primarily be determined by your hardware specs (for hardware compatibilty testing of new engine), experience doing betas (to help find bugs and provide feedback on usability etc.), and time zone (you want people from each region to even out server load times)


Anyway,

I think people who purchased the CE should get some sort of extra vanity piece. We originally got the onion helm. how about an onion helm for our chocobos? or onion knight themed barding?

I agree that CE/legacy should be less important when deciding who gets in to beta. I personally have both. If i get in the beta i think it should be because of my experience beta testing, my knowledge of hardware, and ability to troubleshoot. not because i have CE & legacy.

What i would like to know is

1) when the game relaunches will a CE be available for purchase?
2) will the in-game incentives in this CE be the same as 1.0 CEs
3) will there be pre-order bonuses? and will these be the same as the 1.0 pre-order bonuses?
