Community team! Help! No Beta Emails?

[Azure_Heaven]

I thought it was only legacy players that were guaranteed a spot in phase 3. I believe all others had to apply and hope that lady luck was on their side. I could be wrong, but that was my understanding of it.

Not what they said in the roadmap, on the forums or in the email i received, apologizing for FFXIV 1.0 and sayin they want us to come back and give ARR a try.

This is a quote from that email under "BETA TESTING"

" Beta Testing

FFXIV: ARR is currently in the beta testing stage, with plans to begin the third phase of testing on June 14, 2013. All players who hold a service account from Version 1.0 have been granted access to the beta test.

We welcome all players from Version 1.0 to download the beta client and see the myriad changes in FFXIV: ARR.

* Additional information regarding how to participate in the beta test will be sent at a later date. "

Ahh, I did not see that. Thanks. I would guess it may have to do with them not having all of the character data from 1.0 imported yet. We'll probably get more news once they return back from E3.

Ok, I have a thought! It's not one you'll like but it could be an explanation.

They've told us we won't be importing 1.0 characters for this first weekend of the test.

So, perhaps they aren't inviting the influx of 1.0/XIV account holders until next week when they expect to begin the import testing?

I hope I haven't said too much. :O

But yea, it would be nice if they could pop in and say something.

If that is the decision, thats fine. Ill be slightly pissed about not being in the beta, but at least i will know. As of right now, there is nothing about invites for phase 3.

SE, please dont ignore people just give us info. Thats all we want.

The thing is, if you guys are able to post here, your account should be active. My understanding is that the only people who can post here had an active account as of September of last year. Unless cookies are keeping you here. My main char shows an end date of June 30, 2013. They have continued to update that as the months have passed so that people don't get locked out of the forums. There was even a time when they didn't update our "end dates" in our accounts and some people were locked out of the forums for a few days.

This is very confusing.

I wondered if it is because they aren't importing 1.0 characters this first weekend, that maybe the mass 1.0/XIV Service Account holder invites would go out next week. But still, no matter what the reason, I cannot understand why they would have everyone on pins and needles like this.

If codes aren't going out because

1) they have technical problem
2) because they are waiting for next week when 1.0 imports will take place
3) because they will be auto attaching them to existing accounts
4) because they are waiting for the new Lodestone to go live
5) because they want to stress test the mass-download
6) the person who is to push the button fell asleep at their chair

Whatever it is...... they really just need to SAY IT. There are umpteen threads on this in both sets of forums. I really feel for you guys. I want a PS3 code but I'm still not without Beta in 9.5 hours.

EDIT: This was mentioned "elsewhere"

Guys, did you watch the Playstation LiveCast that was broadcasting just now? They were interviewing Matt and he said that they'll be sending "tons" of keys "tonight" or something like that. So that means NA codes are still on their way.

No idea if true, just relaying what rumor & tidbit I can ...
