Well, if my comment about my first Playstation indicates anything... a year and a half would be a super-SHORT wait for me... as I am often willing and able to wait a good 5 years or more for things if I need to. Honestly.... as a gal dipping into her late 30s... time often feels like it passes wayyyy too quickly these days any ways (5 years is how long it took me to get through college and that felt like it flew by in a blink)!

Oh....maybe too far back....

Go Sega! xD

Because my mom saw how much cheaper they were than the NES version.

Due to having several crappy experiences using SE's store, I preordered my copy of Heavensward CE through Amazon. According to the product description, I'll get codes for Early Access on the 19th, buuuuut according to my receipt (unless I'm reading/understanding things wrong) they won't send codes until they officially charge my bank when "the product becomes available" on the 23rd. A bit annoying, but I was entirely serious when I told the SE rep that I'd never buy things directly from them again. At least Amazon tells me within seconds if something is going to 'take time' to be available to me, not five days of me badgering.
Honestly though, I don't care if I don't get into Early Access. At best, the new areas are going to be crowded and laggy as hell. At worst, servers are going to be unstable and it's going to be like 2013 all over again. If the servers stay stable enough, I'll probably just keep on with what I've been doing and getting alt's crafting up. If not, well... I still have XI. And a shop down the street sells Gamecubes for $20, I can amuse myself with the old copies of Phantasy Star Online and Animal Crossing that I found in the basement last week.

By the way... um... I'm honestly a little confused. I see that the game is coming down for maintenance for a full day before this "Early Access" to Heavensward begins... but what's the deal with non-Heavensward players after that point?
Can we still access the vanilla game after the 19th? Or does "Early Access" mean that the entirety of the servers will be roped off and gated for EA code possessing Heavensward players only?
Maybe I'm missing some important articles here but everything I'm reading so far seems to kinda' ignore giving any instructions towards non-Heavensward/non-EA players.
I was under the impression before that the game would go down for a day and then come back up and normal players could play normally? Buuttt... maybe that's not the case??

As far as I know, you'll be able to log in just fine, you just won't have access to any of the Heavensward content. You'll be able to play the 2.0 content just fine.
... Or that's the way it usually works, anyway.

Everything will just be as if you just finished 2.55!

So like.. only one day down without the game then, eh? If that's so then... *sighs relief*
Ooh! And in good news... my full copy of the basic game + 60 day time card arrived today! Yayy!
RE: Not Getting Early Access - What Are Your Plans? - Griffith! - 06-18-2015
I can't do anything until my check comes in. But... Friday. I should have the full game, Heavensward included, Friday.
