Beta is here? Mail is not working...

[Racoosho-Quetzalcoatl]

Good Morning all

I'm not sure if this is the same email you are referring to, but i had an email sent to me labelled the same subject a few hours ago at 23:10pm GMT.

All of the images wont load and i tried to click the link on the email that says "if you are having trouble reading this email click here" it opens up my browser and the page just hangs and times out.

i have my Square-Enix account linked to my work email address, so I've tried accessing it from Outlook on my work laptop, another email application on my phone, and also via a VPN on my home PC.... all with the same results.....no results. so I'm unsure if this is a newsletter or anything else.

I've never had a newsletter that is FF14 related before, usually i have to find out about them via the lodestone. the only emails i ever get from Square-Enix that's FF14 related is when i change my password, or when i was getting emails regarding Alpha testing..

If anyone else has anything to submit or contribute, that would be appreciated as it would seem that i am not the only one with this issue.

Kind regards

Joe

I got the one the OP is talking about also... The "click here" link goes to a uman.eu.square-enix.com.. ? I didn't click it, just mouse hovered to check the URL. I am also not signed up for the newsletter I don't think (I unsubbed a while ago).

Here is a screenie. (click to enlarge)

mail settings? images blocked? looks normal on my computer but yes it is just the signups and promo video

Think they fixed the source link for the images, try opening it now message back if sucessful

Oh now I could see the image! I tried to open again and saw... but that link is to us sign up for beta. WE give the mail, country, birth and apply. But we, legacy, don't need to apply so why they sent us this? Doesn't make sense at all.... To us remember? :|

Anyway I sent, for good or bad....

An explanation from a Dev would be appreciated though.

[Racoosho-Quetzalcoatl]

Well, i accidentally applied before i found out i didn't need to (also legacy) and i still got it, think its a distribution list to all SE account holders to try and raise the numbers, probably haven't got the numbers they want yet

hmmm ive received this email too.....is it official or a phishing scam?

[Racoosho-Quetzalcoatl]

It is still yet to be said if this is a scam or not, any who, those of you who are dubious about the email, don't click it, if you want to enrol in the Beta, you can apply via this link

Guys Guys Guys allow images from the @member.eu.square-enix.com domain or if you are using Outlook you might have to add the sender to your outlook contacts and you will see the email in all it's trolling goodness.

A great huge "Sign up now" link along with the new beginning trailer.

Is from SE, so can't be scam. Also the application don't ask you for passwords so... I think it was what Racoosho-Quetzalcoatl said... They don't met the number they wish so are sending to everyone or selected ones to apply. But I don't see the point to send to legacy members if we are already in :x

It is legitimate, it's just publicizing the beta signup to any square enix members (at least EU) mine was from the member.eu.square-enix.com domain, or the members sub domain of the EU square-enix.com domain, or from SE, not to mention the links are all square enix.
