Technically, devices like are against the rules, but if you shut it off right when you log in, which you should since it can cause problems just spamming it in-game, they can not accuse you of anything. This is the same type of software people use for auto-clicking and if you took the time you could make bots with it if you wanted. If you are only using it to log in, GM's have no way of knowing you are using it since you are not actually in-game, and they usually only detect this sort of thing through reports, most bots will never get detected unless people report them, meaning if you aren't doing anything there is nothing to report, so 99% sure you'll never get caught. Besides, it is SE's fault that we have to resort to these methods, if they seriously ban someone for this that is pathetic, considering it is their own fault.

Yeah when the NA/EU server list is down or your particular world is down it just cycles through the JP / whatever other servers are up, it doesn't do anything problematic, just selects the world over and over again. I just pause the script if that happens and relaunch the client / wait until the the server is up then un-pause it.

Once you are in game you no longer need the script so the best solution is to just exit it until you need it again. To do this alt-tab from the game and go to the bottom right of your computers screen (on most computers), this is where you taskbar is and where it shows your AutoHotkey script, right click the icon and click exit. If you don't have a taskbar or can't find this, hold down ctrl-shift-esc at the same time and it will open the task manager, under the background processes it will show the AutoHotkey script, click that and end that from there.

I leveled Archer from 1-15 yesterday in about 2 hours, I just did the Hunting logs and fates whenever they popped up near me. Pretty easy to do, I just popped in a movie and mindlessly roamed around Gridania lol.

I added some stuff to the script if anyone is interested, it's the same concept but I added these features: 1) To start the script you use F1 now (Not Mousewheel Up (It is still F2 to pause.) 2) You can tap F1 before you start up FFXIV: ARR and it will not start sending Numpad 0's until it has actually launched (so you aren't spamming 0's when trying to enter your password ) 3) The script now Auto-Pauses when you alt-tab, so you only need the manual pause for if you see you are in the actual que and would rather stay in it than refresh. 4) It also will Auto-Unpause when you re-activate the window. Nothing ground breaking but it makes it easier / less of a hassel. I've yet to discover how to just let it run in the background so you can use your computer while it runs but I'm still new to the program also. / New Script (clear your other script or make a new .ahk document from your desktop): F2::Pause SetNumlockState, AlwaysOn F1:: WinWaitActive, FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Loop { IfWinActive, FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Send {Numpad0} Sleep 1000 IfWinNotActive, FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Loop { WinWaitActive, FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Break } } / Notes: 1) If you want to speed up the rate at which it uses Numpad 0, change Sleep 1000 to a lower number, 500 will be about twice per second I believe, but don't go too low or it can cause errors 2) The original post has the details of running the original script and those are still valid for that script, however if you plan on using this one just be wary of the changes, but everything else is the same.

It should not stop when there is a 1017 world full error since it uses the same key (Numpad 0) to exit it, so I'm not sure why that would happen? When you push the F2 button it pauses the script, so when you re-activate the window you need to push F2 again to un-pause it, unless you exit the program itself it should un-pause with F2 as I only assigned that one bind, making it the pause and un-pause bind. I just retried the same copy-pasted script and it works for me. Can you do this to check something: Double click the icon, go to your word document you use on your computer, scroll up. It should start send out 0's (one per second), push F2 and it should pause, wait a couple second and then push F2 again, it should un-pause. Let me know if it does or not. I'm also working on a more refined script right now to auto-pause when you alt-tab and auto-unpause when you re-activate the window so I'll post that here if I have any luck.

I might be able to set that up for you, there is a command to detect images I believe, I'm currently working on the script actually anyways, trying to get it to auto-pause when you alt-tab out instead of having to do it manually, I'll see if I can add that also though. Edit: This probably won't work though as the image will be on different coordinates of peoples monitor depending on the size and screen resolution but I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, this is one of the best programs, very legit, tons of stuff you can do with it and it is 100% free so it's win / win

Well technically you still have to, but with this method you no longer have to be at your computer for 30 minutes doing it, allowing you to do something more productive. This is my method, although not as good as a traditional que (since you have to keep the window up and can't really use your computer), you can still stroll around your house or use a different computer if you have one: Download AutoHotkey from http://www.autohotkey.com/ and follow these steps: Once downloaded and installed, right click your desktop, move your mouse down to the New command, hover over it and one of the top options will be AutoHotkey Script, click it. Name it Numpad0 Spam.ahk or whatever you want but just end it with .ahk Once you do this right click the icon and select Edit Script, click the page so that you can type on it and then paste the following script: f2::pause WheelUp:: Loop { Send {Numpad0} Sleep 1000 } After you paste it in, exit, when prompted to save do so, then double click the icon, proceed to launch FFXIV: ARR, log in to your account, click play and once your are on the launch screen simply scroll your mouse wheel up once and your computer will automatically spam Numpad0 (Once per second, this is not too fast and not too slow as to cause problems). Once you are into the game simply tap F2 to pause the script or alt-tab the game and exit the script from your taskbar (in the bottom right on most computers). Q: But what if I get into the actual que when I do this? It will kick me out. A: It does not matter, you will remain in your position of que even if you exit, thus you can keep it spamming Numpad 0 and still get in at the same time. And if you happen to see you are in the actual que simply tap F2 and it will pause the script, leaving you in that que. Note: The FFXIV: ARR window has to be your active window at the time this is running, you cannot alt-tab out and use other programs or it will stop signing you in, I did not bother to write out all the code to have it work in the background, if you wish to do the extra research for this be my guest. Edit: If you do have to alt-tab out for some reason, pause the script first so that you are not still spamming Numpad 0 on whatever other things you have open as it could cause problems depending on what that keybind does for that program, also F2 is used as the un-pause button so once you want it going again simply click F2 and it will continue.

My face looks more like Uncle Benjin's right now (the guy on the left), trying to drink coffee after brushing my teeth o.0

Got my coffee and I'm all set up with my plan, bring it on!

6am ADT for my fellow Atlantian's I have my schedule all set to work around it! Going to double my workout friday (tomorrow) so I don't miss my saturday workout technically, therefore being able to chill all day saturday and game, and sunday is my break day for the week so I can game for 2 days straight! So excited!! :lol:

U is for Ul'dah!

Yeah this is a great read, long but that is necessary to detail all of it properly. I would advise everyone to read the whole thing when you get a chance. It goes over the events from 1.0 up to present where we start our adventures in A Realm Reborn. Even if you played 1.0 it is a great wrap-up :thumbsup: Edit: Well technically not to "present" it goes to when the 5 year time-skip happens, in which afterwards we begin.

SE said that some people have not been receiving the e-mails from their auto-mated system, you may be one of the ones affected. I don't know how to solve this just putting the possibility out there. But if you put in the 20 code that it showed when you put in the 18 code it should have been confirmed regardless.

I would just wait personally, until they say it is functional again. I however got it to register about an hour ago first try. I put the code in, got error 3, clicked refresh while it said error 3, went from the refreshed screen to my profile and it said FFXIV: ARR was registered. However i have not received my 20 code after that and even if I do it has a chance of being the EU one which would be useless anyways. So I would just wait personally but since it went through I really have no choice anymore even if I do end up with an EU one (if any at all gets sent.. still waiting.)

My bad I didn't know you ordered from EU (nor did I know they would be different). Sorry that I couldn't help.

Lots of people are having the same problem, the french twitter said to be patient they are working on it, there is a ton of people swarming it and it is causing problems, so yes just try again later. They announced officially that the site would be up on the 20th, so no it's not because people were refreshing. It is the 20th that is why everyone is there. They said they would e-mail when it was ready to use though and some people got the email some did not (being me).

Ok, the email should be from digitalriver ([email protected]). Click the email, scroll down to the very bottom. 4 blocks of text up it will say: Product SKU: PC Download Product Name: FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Pre-Order Bonus Package Qty Ordered: 1 Amount: $0.00 Serial Number/Product Code: xxxxxx-123-xxxxxx-456 That is your pre-order code. If that is not there then yes there is a problem and you should email them.

Do you mean you pre-ordered the PC digital version or the Physical copy?

From my understanding the code you got in your receipt email has to be entered at http://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com/ it then adds the game to your account, and sends you another email that has a 20 character code, which then you enter that somewhere else to get early access. This is what I've heard but as it stands that website is currently not functioning properly and people just need to wait for it to be fixed. Edit: From this what I'm saying is that the pre-order key is NOT the early access key. They are two different things. You enter your pre-order key on that site (once available) then in an unknown time (before the early access though obviously) they will send you the early access key which you will have to enter elsewhere that is currently unknown to me, THEN you will have early access, not until then. Please correct me if I'm wrong also, this is just what I have heard and would like to know for sure also.

To anyone who has no idea of what to do and is going crazy I would recommend reading a book. I am reading the 4th book in the "Game of Thrones" series and it is awesome, and keeps me occupied. Edit: If anyone wants a couple suggestions I would recommend either The Lord of the Rings series or "Game of Thrones" series. For LotR the books are really good even if you've seen the movies, tons more detail which makes the world come to life. Game of Thrones is great also (If you've watched the first 3 seasons and want to start reading the book don't start right at the 4th book as the 3rd season is still ongoing in the 3rd book and there will be a lot of "spoilers" and confusion)

You could try showing them http://arrstatus.com/ where it shows when early access is and say that part of pre-ordering FFXIV: ARR is gaining early access. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/product/ Shows the bonuses to pre-ordering where it clearly states "Early Access To Final Fantasy: A Realm Reborn." And it sais "from participating retailer" so if they are part of the participating retailers (you didn't mention who you bought it from I don't think), they have to give it to you.

the xxxxxx-xxx-xxxxxx-xxx is the same format that games are registered on the Square-Enix site. This is another reason I'm confused, when I try to register the code I got on the site it sais error, I'm assuming because the game isin't officially out yet but it sais this is also the pre-order code so it makes it even more confusing lol, whatever I'll just hope for the best, hope yours gets resolved also

I just pre-ordered FFXIV: ARR for PC, digital download. I got an email and I got the pre-order / early access code but I didn't get one for the actual game itself to put in the square enix store to claim I own FFXIV: ARR. Is it that the pre-order code and the serial number on the game are the same thing? Meaning once I input this code whenever that option becomes available for early access it will also show on my square enix account that I own FFXIV: ARR? Because currently I can't put this code in as an official game in my profile to show I own FFXIV: ARR it just gives an error. So I am quite confused, if someone could clear this up it would be a big help.
