Thread: when can 1.0 players log in?

Hi i was under the impression that 1.0 (not legacy) players could log in on launch date.
But a friend of mine told me that 1.0 players would play on Sept 9-10
Is this true?
Thanks

Your friend isn't very smart, or is trolling you.

You can play at launch.

Aug 27th for you because of none legacy

Tuesday for non-legacy.

Ty guys,
Now another question, I formated my pc and i'm reinstalling all my Software.
I backed up the FFXIV folder where i installed the game.
Is there a way i can avoid downloading the 6gb+ of data?
Can i download the launcher and point it to where the FFXIV folder is ?
do i make any sense LOL
(i use to backup FFXI in this way)

Doubt you could point it to the new folder, you'd need to place the folder and name it exactly what the original directory would be called, and see if it'll just scan through it and patch as needed.

I think your friend just got some dates confused. As part of the Welcome Back program, 1.0 players can play for free until September 9th. As stated above, you can start playing the 27th.

All registry values would be missing....if you could fix that, then you wouldn't have to reinstall

That's what i thought.
Do you guys know if we'll download more files on the 27?
