owh maybe already got few GB of file in the dvd..take ur time, im also lowbie..find good FC(guild can always ask help to help)

will do that once I finished downloading this patch and start playing which is like 4 hours later
which server should I play in, the legacy servers probably won't suit a newbie like me

haha, i wont force u but legacy also got many players and if u always play mmo..its kinda invalid reason cause other mmo with old server also got many high lvl player..

but still server lockdown cause to many player is the prob here..anyway any server is good if u able to enjoy ur game..

choosing server right now is kinda hard since the lockdown in creating new character on you fav server...i guess you can go for ultima server or smth for non legacy...but i do recommend you to enter masamune (legacy server) since we have a helpful FC over there lead by shojikun and i believe he is willing to help newbie like you provided joining masamune is possible right now

o okay. So that means if I'm planning to sub for EU account and eligible for future updates/patch, then I shall buy the R2 version and registered with EU Square Enix account. Just that when choosing server we can either choose NA/EU or JP server right??
As I was only console gamer, so I wanna ask if PC physical disc also have those region differences like R2, R1 and R3? If so, how do they differentiate it? Also similar with PS3 where

R1 - NA
R2 - EU / UK
R3 - Asia
?

Thanks for clarification

even joining Gilgamesh is hard right now
and I can't create a character now because of the lock down right
so this means I will still have to wait for the official launch
I guess I'll just stick to my beta character and practice using the controls
I'll just create a new character after official launch and probably join the new server where most other LYN members go to

yes for ps3 the r2 would be EU/UK version and no issue in which server u can join from what version you are buying instead the version you are buying will determine the type of payment(currency) for your account

to be honest...i still doubt that they will open slot for those locked server during launch (5pm later today)....but i do hope they open it since we have lots of players are waiting

I see. How about for the PC? How do they differentiate the Region? Is it also by R2,R1,R3?
Will most likely buy the PC version cos my PS3 has been YLOD since last year. bummer

Region just determines your currency payment. Its selected the first time you sign up and has no impact on actual gameplay or realm selection.

pc does not have these kind of region recognition...we just buy from the online store with the version stated or go through some validation such as non NA ip will be treated as EU (for gmg)

I bought the game from Heavyarms and they did state that the game is Europe version
and in the DVD box the code given comes with the EU url to activate the code

what i mean is that pc games does not have R2 or R3 for region identification

This is true, for PS3 is R1 & R2, R3 is usually JPN only.

but for PC is NA, EU & JP region. if you're using EU account, then EU region, NA account, then NA Region is required for account side.

In Game both PS3 & PC no region lock. in-game can freely choose which ever server they have. NA/EU or JP. NA/EU same datacenter. Just the Time server is different.

this game is free to play or not?
