Early Release on Saturday! - Salty Lake - 08-22-2013
So early release is the day-after-tomorrow. Yay! Supposedly it will start at 2 am PDT, like open beta.
Do you all know if all 1.0 players get early release, or just those who subscribed to 1.0 for 3 months? I have been a bit confused about my "legacy" perks because I have the back tattoo, but I didn't get the special chocobo.

YES. And this time, the game will stay with us forever. This is the end of all the suffering we've endured!!
I can't believe that I'll be able to play it as much as I want from now on.
(As for your question, I don't know because I'm not a legacy player. I just wanted to share my joy, I'm sorry ;_; )

I'm already planning on going to bed stupid early tomorrow so I can get up at 5 AM EST to play. SO STOKED.
RE: Early Release on Saturday! - FreelanceWizard - 08-22-2013
My understanding is that only Legacy Program (the people who paid for the three months) and preorders get Early Access. The rest of us poor 1.x people have to wait with the plebs.
RE: Early Release on Saturday! - Ashren Dotharl - 08-22-2013
Only Legacy Promotion members (people who paid for 3 months) and people who preordered get Early Access. If you bought 1.0 but didn't pay for the Legacy promo you'll need to wait until the 27th.

Hah! I did that for beta 4 and I don't think I'll do it again... I am getting too old for going on 2 hours sleep. I'll just wake up at 6 or 7 am like a normal person.
Plus I am still not sure if I get early access. FreelanceWizard is probably right. I did want to upgrade to CE to do early release, but SE hasn't told us yet how 1.0 players can upgrade to CE (last I checked).

A legacy promo from back in the day? Or the collector's edition upgrade?

Try living with only being able to sleep a maximum of 2 hours. - You tend to dot your day with naps. It's faaahn.Â

If you paid for the original game back in 2010, but did not pay for 3 months of game time you do not qualify for early access.
If you paid for the original game and did pay for 3 months of game time (qualifying you for Legacy status) you qualify for Early Access.
If you pre-ordered the game and received a pre-order code, you qualify for Early Access.
To my knowledge the CE Upgrade is not available yet and won't be available until launch, so there is no way to preorder it.

dlkjsdlfkjsdf It's probably horrible of me for considering taking a sleep aid and just staying asleep until Saturday morning. Scratch probably. It is horrible. But I could do with skipping the next day and a half or so of finger twiddling. I keep trying to do other things and getting restless and refreshing the forums instead. Bleargh.
RE: Early Release on Saturday! - Jove - 08-22-2013
10 am Saturday morning for me! I'll wake up, all sleepy and then it will dawn on me, like a beautiful shaft of glowing sunlight.
Then a few hours later it will probably hit me that I should maybe get dressed and eat some food.
Maybe several.

Personally I'm glad so many of you will be waking up early, that means when I roll out of bed at like 8 Central I may not have as big a loadÂ

This!
We have the same plan.
We're the cool kids of the East Coast!Â
That is all.

Thanks for the clarification! I was hoping there was a way for 1.0 non-Legacy players to get early access without having to buy a new copy of the game (such as upgrading to CE). Ah well--guess I can go outside and enjoy life for one last weekend before I spend all my free time to my dark basement.
ETA: I had been confused because I got the back tattoo!
