a little late but works all the same.

For those who played in phase 4, there's an approx. 1 GB update to the client available. Go! Update now! Be ready for 2 am PDT!

For anyone concerned that they may not have entered their early access code correctly, here's a link that will show you an easy way to confirm whether or not you'll be able to log in on the 24th.

you guys, you guys...

SOON!

Wooooooot! I'm so HAPPY!

Yay! The great acolyte robe quest will not have been in vain!

Great news from Yoshi-P, our character data is safe and errors 90000 and 3102 have been resolved for EA and release.

I like bacon,

but my Preorder code isn't working at the moment. Gah!

You guyzzzz 8D Getting mushy like forgotten ramen noodles... ^_^

Awesome time hanging out in game! For those who couldn't make it, you can count me in alongside Sola on the list for those to help you level up come early access. The linkshell exploded again thanks to you all who were able to stick around in game, so thanks for being awesome in that regard!

Like Zap said, a hearty /cheer to our tireless laugh-as-she-dies Sheena for running dungeons for probably most of phase 4!

Can't wait to meet up again with you all when servers are up for early access and release! (so yeah Blade, if you were asking for opinions, I believe you would enjoy getting the game already =P)

.....zzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! As soon as early access drops im gonna blaze through all those quests to get to eefreet so we can do it! *cracks knuckles*

Indeed! This weekend was a total blast! I can't wait to do it all again next week... hopefully without those damn errors. >.o

Was so glad that we were able to get most of you guys back into the linkshell! I'm hoping that anyone who got locked out will be able to join us. Don't be discouraged!

First shout out is to Sheena, who selflessly offered up the first Foestriker's Tabard to me. Thank you so much!

Also, shout out to Grumpy Cat (W'sazhi Tia), Hyur I'cane, Eisah, and Aria (A couple of those are sadly not on our Steam group =( ) for helping tank through the dungeons. You call did a really great job.

Sola, next week dungeons! Hyur, WE WILL KILL IFRIT!

You guys, I am soooo tired. I feel totally worn out, haha. But I want to say I had a lot of fun gaming with you guys this weekend and I look forward to doing it next week.

And for those of you who weren't able to get onto Excalibur, I hope you consider trying again during early access, as it'll be MUCH more fun when we have the whole gang together! :D And for those of you who got hit with errors (like poor Sola D:) I am 100% committed to helping you catch up next weekend.

Finally, I would like to again thank Sheena and Zap, for taking all that time to help me get my robe :3

It's not a lot, but for those who play on NA/EN servers, beta has been extended a couple hours until 8 am PDT.

DC'ed? jion the Disconnected from FFXIV: phase 4 after parrty in the group chat room! LEts discuss what we thought about this phase of testing!

List of minions and where to get them!

http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/117575-Beta-4-Minion-List

Well... I'm gonna try to log back on if it goes back up soon enough ^^;;

Disconnected.... GO ON WITHOUT ME--!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *dies*

Yep. Getting the 1017 error, had to spam log in to eventually get in, took me like 20 minutes :\ they have serious server problems they need to work out.

Siren is open, I just remade there, but I couldn't get into Excalibur all day.

Can't log in. Says the world is full but I'm not getting into any kind of a queue T_T guess I'll try again later.

Oh no T_T Menchi has that problem too. This is crazy.

I'm getting the 90000 error message, cant access LS chat and my FL has disappeared, i'm shouting in town and no one can see what I say. I'll be back if it ever gets fixed, though i think they will delete all the character effected by this bug.

People are logging back in!

people are dropping like flies. Zap DCed when he tried to zone. Sheena and I are just sitting here like o__o

please tell me its just me seeing all the NA/EU servers as down.

Hey guys, I'm finally in the game! The name is Tatsuo Black :D

Character creation seems to be back up for those who have not yet made their Excalibur character!

PHASE PHOOOOOOOOOORRRRRR!!!!

Hey all! If you log into Excalibur, send a tell to Zap Rowsdower, Sheena Hayane, or Nikko Noko for an invite to the Gridania Squatters LS. Unfortunately, as of this writing, character creation on Excalibur has been temporarily restricted. But SE is keeping us updated here, so check to see when they say it's lifted:

https://twitter.com/FF_XIV_EN

Also as a reminder, the Gridania Squatters is just a linkshell, which in ARR is more like a chat channel than a guild. If you're still looking for a FC to run with, you might want to check out Chocobo Feather (www.chocobofeather.com) . Kiwi and Acai are the leaders; also, Yuku is an officer there. It's full of great people, so I encourage you to check it out!

Also, that's awesome Hyur! XD but drawing Zapp first? I see where your loyalties lie!

Patch is up and available for download everyone!

Since my drawing aren't under wraps anymore, here's a little update:

This is a practice drawing for hyur and zap for the sake of getting a feel for the characters. I'm skipping out on the detailing since I'm kind of short on time. The final product will look completely different.

Happy thursday everyone!

Patch notes: http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Test/threads/98689-Beta-Test-Phase-4-Patch-Notes?p=1211642#post1211642

Lots of stuff there. One thing I wanted to say is looks like no chocobo companion will be available in phase 4. Sorry Zapp :< Also "grand company equipment cannot be equipped in phase 4".
