Yep.

Remember you may want to avoid using @hotmail as your email. People had many problems getting codes thru their hotmail accounts.

Wow. A closed open beta. Only SE could think that one up.

Well, everyone gets in. But you still need a code to apply to your account. Isn't this typical?

Better than 2-hour login queues. I was worried I might not get in much during Phase 4.

Question for the Devs. I was an Alpha tester and carried over into Beta. A registration key was note required for Alpha and as an automatic carryover none was issued for Beta. Do I now need to get a registration key for Phase 4 (Open Beta) or will I carryover again. Hope you see this prior to the deadline.

I did register a code for PS3. I am assuming that this code only applies to PS3 for Phase 4.

I thought most of the open betas I had been in before required a code to be entered, but didn't say anything because I thought I must be remembering incorrectly since so many people said open betas don't use codes.

you have already registered your beta code. You're good.

I don't remember open beta for 1.0 needing a code. I could be wrong since it was so long ago.

Yes I should be good for the PS3. My concern is for the PC. I was never required to register a code for that platform. I would just like clarification as I want to make sure I do not miss PC Open Beta due to a technicality.

I have been in Beta since the beginning and only later applied for PS3 Beta access. Once I got the PS3 acceptance email, it included both a Beta Code and a PS3 activation code of some sort. The only thing I had to use was the PS3 code, since once I linked my SE and PSN account, it recognized that I already had a beta code registered, and was able to download, then play, from then.

Please be advised if you do register a 2nd Beta code (while setting up your PS3), you will end up with a 2nd XIV Service account (with only the beta code registered to it) which you may not want and may be confusing to later add services (and not knowing which is which).
