Thought so, I played with Divinus and then BRotherhood of the Spider(DROW) on the same server (think you ran Pain?). I'm actually playing with DROW again so won't be joining the forum guild but after the rush is over I might make an alt in the forum server and try and go for mans greatest challenge outside of not pissing on the toilet seat ......converting a lesbian!

Are you rrrrrrreeeeeeady!?

I'm still at work. I haven't mentioned it to my wife yet either, but I'm pretty sure she was annoyed when I spent all of Saturday and Sunday (she doesn't know I spent Friday playing) in game. I'm actually still up in the air with when I'll get up. At first I thought 6am, but then I was like...shit, the servers will have been up 4 hours by then! So then I thought maybe 4. But if I'm getting up at 4, I may as well do 2? That means going to bed after I get off work, go to the gym, and then eat.

Just me or have you already been into the goose?

Issues still remaining at release:

As of August 23, 2013, the following issues have been confirmed in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

-An issue wherein the companion action "Choco Medica" does not recover HP properly.

We plan to address this issue via a hot fix as soon as possible.
-An issue wherein the "manor sentries" that appear in the instanced dungeon "Haukke Manor" become stuck and prevent players from progressing through the instanced dungeon.

Please be sure to fight the "manor sentries" on the second floor of the Haukke Manor until the issue is addressed.

If you encounter this issue, please open the Duty Finder and then select "Leave."

-Due to a critical issue that we have identified in the instanced dungeon "The Wanderer's Palace," the instanced dungeon will not be available at launch.

Please note that while the instanced dungeon "The Wanderer's Palace" will show up in the Duty Finder, it will be inaccessible. Please refrain from joining the instanced dungeon until the issue is addressed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
-An issue wherein if a player completes a primal battle while KO'd, the option to return to your home point will not appear.

If you encounter this issue, please have a party member revive you or open the Duty Finder and then select "Leave."
-An issue wherein if a player joins an instance via the Duty Finder, they occasionally become immobilized after leaving the instance.

If you encounter this issue, please contact a GM by selecting the "Support Desk" option under the system menu.
-An issue wherein certain cutscenes viewed from the "The Unending Journey" located in inn rooms will always play from the beginning.

-An issue wherein the icons on the market boards occasionally appear incorrectly while a player is experiencing lag.

-[PlayStation?3 only] An issue wherein a player will occasionally lose control of their character while fighting a certain monster in the instanced dungeon "The Sunken Temple of Qarn."

If you encounter this issue, please log out and then back in.

[PlayStation?3 only] An issue wherein the game client may freeze if a player attempts to log out while their character configuration screen is open.

-[PlayStation?3 only] An issue wherein the cursor location of the Crafting Log will occasionally appear in the incorrect location and prevents the players from controlling their characters.

If you encounter this issue, please log out and then back in.

Weird, the benchmark reports my gtx680 as the 4gb version when i have the 2gb version oO

and on the password reset the fucking security question I picked isn't fucking working, I think that's enough for me to cancel this fucking pre-order.

Fuck I don't know how I'm going to be able to go to bed to wake up early for this, I'm all excited and giddy for this shit more than normal for some reason.

I was joking, I put 100 lbs on my bench and lost 50 lbs in the last 6 months while recovering from shoulder surgery. Not going to loose that over a week of overdose of Torino"s. and I do it because that's how I live my life, bust ass and do the hard work up front and enjoy the benefits at the end. Everyone has their own approach / shrug, this is worth it to me becuse it's 100 % bliss with no thought of conciseness. I rather have brief periods of that and bust ass and be disciples the rest of the time.

I got I might even put easy cheese. ON my totino's hahahhahha.

I was thinking of running on Maximum and maybe turning off shadows but why bother. The benchmark ran without a hitch at maximum settings. Can't wait to play game looks great.
