@Robo: I got into the FF XIV beta today too :) Problem is, the game went down YESTERDAY but will hopefully be back online soon :
"We would like to take this opportunity to provide an explanation on why we had to cut the FINAL FANTASY Beta Test short on July 21, and the plans we have prepared for the next Beta Test.
During this recent test, the processing of each world was going smoothly. However, due to the increase in the number of testers, the process that is associated with all worlds experienced heavy loads. As a result, the heavy load caused issues during the login and area change processes.
We are happy to announce that we now have a rough idea of what is causing these issues and we are currently in the process of making the proper adjustments on the server structure, along with performing internal stress tests. Our current plans are to have the test prepared after July 24.
We deeply apologize for the inconvenience this issue may have caused on the testers and thank you for your continuous support in this matter."
