Myself, Sean, Kaosu and a Japanese random absolutely /killed/ the final instance today. We refined our speed run down to 8 minutes, with about 15 bits of loot. We're all decked as fuck now.

Cautiously optimistic. Hopefully we get decent reviews from fellow Rerollers... better yet, maybe they will start handing out beta invites/keys for people to share.

Just an FYI, I used the info provided by Fazana on the previous page to get a beta key from the buffed German site. I had to register my accounthereas a United Kingdom account for it to accept the beta key. Currently downloading the beta client, thanks.

When i had that problem, I just had to run the program in administrator mode, and click-off the little "security check" warning it displayed.

I think Squeenix might be stealin mah megahertz.

Where do you download the client / installer?

I did the UK key from the German site and it worked. The attached pic is what I see.

Joke's on you, the client link is on the forums. I spent 30 mins on that page before resorting to google.

Cool. My square-enix official page doesn't have the key registered, only the site that I posted in the pic above. Will that get me in? Do I need another code to publish to my S-E official account, or is that the official account structure for German / UK?

I must be retarded - when to buff'd and set up an account and clicked what I thought the beta key reg was. Got a few emails but nothing relating to a beta key.

This job/class system is quite confusing. I started a conjurer, and at level 10 i was only given the choice to become a Gladiator? Is this due to the beta restrictions? And can we pick up and level all the classes on one character and keep swapping back and forth?

And the last question: Now i am a lvl 10gladiator/conjurer. I spoke to the lancer guild and picked that class as well; now i am a lvl1 lancer. Why did i not start at lvl10 like the gladiator?

You can read the instruction manual in the beta forums it has all the info you are asking about. Look for the instruction manual and there is a post about the "Phase 2 Content" that explains more about what is/isn't in yet.

1) The lack of choices for jobs is due to beta restrictions. The Gladiator guild is in another city that is not in the beta at the moment; therefore, the current setup is the only way to obtain the class as of now. Gladiator starts off at 10 because there are no guild quests to help you along to 10. If you want to play another class ( archer, lancer, conjurer ), just talk to the respective guilds. Yes you can pick up all the classes on one character, level them up and swap back and forth.

Why i am able to keep my cure/protect from my conjurer when playing the Gladiator? Will any class i swap to allow me to retain two spells of any other class?
