As expected the download is going extremely slowly from so many people though.

Can you help a dumb newbie who just woke up and post a link to where you did that?

Ok so from what i understand, people like me (Who are not in P4 and just wanted to download the game ready for open beta/early access) we can't actually download it.
I signed in and got this message
"There are no valid service accounts." this is because i haven't registered my pre-order code (Because i haven't been sent one 0.o) then i got this message "For all countries outside of Japan, registration of the pre-order bonus code is scheduled to begin on the 20th of August, 2013"
Which is after the open beta ends. so i have no idea what to do here.

20+ hours for the download to complete...

Most games are not that big at launch, maybe 12gb tops. I'm sure there will be another update before the 24th that will increase the file size.(08-15-2013, 10:29 AM)Aleister Wrote: IT IS UP THE CLIENT IS UP GO DOWNLOAD NOW.

Thank god it finally went live though because it says it's going to take me roughly 12 hours to finish downloadingÂ

Had a bit of a account scare, but luckily it was a simple password change... now about an hour left to download.
Also, hopefully Desire makes one last check before leaving for work... would hate to hear that a minute difference resulted in missing starting the download until late tonight.

That is where you put in the authenticator code, I'm pretty sure.
Oh you saw that while I was writing this... quick... think of something else to put in this post...
Argh, rargh and other sounds symbolizing anger at how slow the download is and questioning why they would use direct transfer than rather torrenting it when that is both less efficient and more expensive for them!
Can relate to being tired, I didn't manage to sleep tonight. I am hyped up for this game even more than I thought, I suppose, because every time anything happens about it I lose sleep.

just 108 mins to kill until the DL finises then to go gather supplies for the days of endless gaming
Edit: I think i saw the code thing you are talking about. Just before you start logging in and what not, there is a little link to that says input you xxxx code (for forget what type of code but I think I remember it being the activation code) for those who haven't linked a beta code to their account yet.

 How long do you have to wait to download it? I have roughly 400minutes.. So thats about 6 hours or so? Not bad.. I was expecting a overnight thing going on.
RE: Phase for prep, game download? - shotgunbadger - 08-15-2013
Yea when I go to the old download link posted it tells me to go register FFXIV and then when I go to account management the FFXIV icon has "Code registration currently unavailable.
"
next to it.

Hopefully it will pick up some momentum eventually, because there is really no excuse for it being that slow on my connection.
