Early Access starts august 24th. But what time?

Svarcanum

What time does Early Access start? Can't find that information anywhere? Will it be at midnight? GMT? PST?

AquaKira

If I am not mistaken, same time as open beta started.

Which is 10am gmt+2.

Yes he seems to be in a bad mood today as he has gave the same attitude to another poster. Here is a thought Seph, just don't answer at all if it bothers you.

Svarcanum

Is that confirmed then, AquaKira? Can't find an official word anywhere. Just want to be able to plan my day:P

Svarcanum

And Sephiroso, I've googled "FFXIV ARR early access" . And the answer did not show up on the first page at least. No word on SE:s webpage either. Maybe you should try googling it before telling others to do so.

Few people have posted that they have contacted Customer Service and they say if you log into your SE account and go under profile and see your game there... your done. Should say the date it was registered. I have not found any official word on that yet so ((shrugs)) I hope this is right as I can see my game registered but the early access page is still giving me error 3 try later crap. Only gets confusing if you are a 1.0 account trying to add a code to get early access.

And when people say login to SE account they mean

or

http://eu.square-enix.com/en/home

not

Unfortunatly that's not official.

Early access starts at the same time all the previous beta phases started. 2 am Pacific. They posted it on their twitter and the official beta forums.

via SE's twitter.

If it's 5am EST then it's 7pm in Japan same day. Seems like they would want to avoid this high traffic time for launch but other than that I have no clue.

Then why play PvE-oriented MMORPGs?  (which is all of them, MMORPGs are PvE games with slapped on PvP minigames or less and less commonly some grief-oriented PvP servers where you still PvE the majority of the time)

 

Not to mention the quality of PvP in MMORPGs is abysmal compared to what you can find in other game genres with truly competitive PvP.

 

This game isn't going to have squat for PvP at release either, so it won't even have much of the usual MMORPG PvP suckfest to start.

I don't think there's been anything official yet, but it's assumed to be the same as the others, 2AM PDT.

I actually wish they would exclude PvP altogether. Maybe just have some duelling system. I really like when a game goes all out PvE. Not that I don't like PvP, I've been a *huuuge* PvP:er before. But not every game needs PvP.
