Yay, Midget!

You should have sent me a /tell though, the friend list is a bit different than in ffxi - it's really for your own use and I didn't get any notice when you "friended" me. It will let you see when I'm online though.

He didn't post it here, but Erock has joined us on Excalibur as well. Evil!

How newb friendly is this now? I want to reactivate but i'm hesitant with 2.0 coming early november.

Myself, I didn't have any problems with anything when I started in Jan but I'm not sure that says much so I'll let someone else field that question. 2.0 isn't coming in November, its not even in Alpha at the moment. Would need to reactivate before the 29th since after that re/activating will be locked.

I did, and have been playing with the config to figure out the best settings for my rigs. Reactivated my 15 lancer and I already see the differences with the jobs and things. I already miss my shock spikes.

Anyone have a lowbie friendly guild or can point me at one. I'm going to get tired quick if i keep playing by myself.

I believe Elbryan will be joining us on Excal.

Just got this in my mailbox:

We welcome all players from Version 1.0 to download the beta client and see the myriad changes in FFXIV: ARR.
* Additional information regarding how to participate in the beta test will be sent at a later date.

Transitioning to FFXIV: ARR from Version 1.0

For those interested in playing FFXIV: ARR, information regarding the transition from Version 1.0, including the establishment of regional data centers, has been compiled on the Lodestone.

Same. If I don't get in this time, I'm suing. It says "ALL" players!
