Hi Bayonne
this would be great but what about after 30th? Will I always need to use the disk to launch the game or I can anyway start from the client? I'm on PS3

Pretty sure you don't require the disc anymore after installing on PS3. All that matters is your license.

After you've installed the game, you won't need your disc inside the system to play!

BAM! TITAN'D!

That's it. Getting "TITAN'D!" is TOTALLY now a (Forum) Status Effect. Spread the word.

Hey everyone,

Early access will not end before the official launch begins, so don't worry!
For those asking about waiting for their physical packages to arrive with their full reg. code -- early access users will be able to play until August 30th.

Bayohne, who did up upset to get stuck with the graveyard shift?

Now - add on question - what will happen with our characters / saved progress etc. if we'll (for whatsoever reason) will be unable to enter the code on August 30th? Lets say we'll only receive our package next week on Monday or Tuesday and enter the code then. Is the progress saved and if yes for how long during the account "inactivity"? What about if my friend wants to take a brake after Early access for about a week to concentrate on school and enter the code around let's say 7 or 8 September. Will that retain all the progress?

Also to which TIME exactly you need to enter the code on August 30th? Considering all the time zones involved as well as end or start of the day the "August 30th" can actually span accross up to 47 hours??

Thanks in advance for reply Bayohne (or anyone else with official info on above).

See you all soon in Eorzea!

You will not lose your character progress for several months at least. I might not be an official source, but it is just common with MMORPGs to save any kind of progress for at least 6 months after inactivity. Some even never delete it ...

Thanks for the input Evenstar - that's what I'm expecting indeed here as well however the official confirmation would be nice as it's not mentioned anywhere in the UA and I've read it twice top to bottom inclusive all linked FAQs ... This also goes for holiday periods etc. where you know in advance that you'll havbe no chance to play at all and so on so you might opt to not pay for that period.
