I Got A Beta Invite!

[Lucke]

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?

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?

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
