I was hoping to get an invite along with 3 friends and none of us got these promotional emails or an invite. An invite I can understand since the chances are probably on the slim side, but not even a promotional email! Whoa is my luck =(

Originally posted by thundergodt i checked the lodestone and it says i don't have any characters on my account, is that normal, do i need to wait 2 more days to be able to see it?
While I admire your enthusiasm the servers won't be up any sooner than when SE says they will be.
Cant login to lodestone either (no characters). Bought and played the game when it released, stopped a few months after. But thank you SE for letting us v1 guys into beta

I got an email telling me that, as a 1.0 player, i can download the beta...but there is no link anywhere that takes me to a download screen. It says more information on accessing the Beta will be sent at a later date.
So they sent me an email to tell me another email is coming for beta? It's a bit confusing

More than two years have passed since the decision was made to replace FINAL FANTASY XIV (hereafter referred to as Version 1.0) with an entirely new game, and we are pleased to inform you of the upcoming release of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.
About FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn (hereafter referred to as FFXIV: ARR) features an all new game engine, server structure, battle system, user interface, and a completely redesigned world. Now that development is nearly complete, official service will begin on August 27, 2013. All players who purchased Version 1.0 will be able to download the client for FFXIV: ARR free of charge. For more information on the various changes in FFXIV: ARR, please proceed to the official website.

The Lodestone
After phase 3 begins on June 14, 2013, players will also be granted access to The Lodestone regardless of service account status.
Players can use the Lodestone to determine the world their Version 1.0 character has been transferred to, as well as check the status of former linkshells and contact friends from Version 1.0.
Transitioning to FFXIV: ARR from Version 1.0
For those interested in playing FFXIV: ARR, information regarding the transition from Version 1.0, including the establishment of regional data centers, has been compiled on the Lodestone.
Furthermore, a two week "Welcome Back Campaign" will be held following the start of official service, allowing players from Version 1.0 to enjoy FFXIV: ARR free of charge for a limited time. We hope you will take this opportunity to play the game and experience FFXIV: ARR.
Version 1.0 did not meet the high standards expected of a FINAL FANTASY title, and for that we offer our sincerest apologies. We will continue to work together with the FFXIV: ARR community to ensure a high quality gaming experience in the future.
