Just FYI, I inserted the GMG code for EU site every now and then for the past three hours (i'm at work with nothing much to do ). After a total of ten tries, I got an error every time just to test my luck.

Naturally I gave up, and decided to wait until tomorrow. But, just few minutes ago, I got the code for Early Access from SE itself (two emails, probably due to entering the GMG code so many times).

It seems what others have said might be true. The site itself is broken (duh, right?). However, it seems that requests do go through. If you really can't wait, give it like 5-10 tries and just wait for SE to send you the necessary details later. Perhaps, they don't send it to you instantly. Good luck

They haven't fixed the problem or increased bandwidth to handle it yet. If not by tomorrow, Friday should be the day that everybody can rush
to get their 'Early Access' ready to go for the weekend

Just out of curiosity, for those who played in P4, did the L15 quest with the mage and the monster get easier for everyone?

I gave Arcanist a try, and I didn't even need to use potions. Literally, I did not do anything other than put DoTs up, and heal. Before I knew it, the instanced fight was over and mission completed.

Same here, I found it a very refreshing challenge at a low level. It would have been a good thing to have it there as a learning curve for different classes.

In P3, I went through it with a few different classes, and that fight was a good indicator whether you knew what the hell you were doing or not

It's quite sad they totally killed the difficulty...sigh

I hope they don't make you wait until endgame to make it challenging. The journey to 50 should be just as fun

Yeah, I meant fun as in challenging. That quest was kind of a ice-breaker to make sure you had better understanding of how to handle battles. Now, it seems to be a walk-through that has no difficult

Guys, keep an eye on their twitter account. They will announce it here https://twitter.com/FF_XIV_EN

I don't think people should really panic about it. Eventually, you will play more than one job/class. Your choice of gear and other additional job skills would most likely trump those additions to stats. As long you are adding those stats and know what they do, your character will be just fine, no matter if you want to be a Scholar or a Summoner

congrats all, we have subforums
