    Notice under the Recommended Graphics Card section that it says ffxi.

    All leading game stores should allow for pre-orders. play.com, game.co.uk, amazon.co.uk, etc.

    Which freebies are you referring to, Kaiser? Check out the "Bonus Items" part of the FAQ to see which bonus items you get with which edition.

    The main reason I want the bonus items is for the security token and the onion helm.

    Edit: Having looked online I have found either game or game station to be the cheapest but I'm confused, if I do pre order it do I have to pay for the whole thing now or just a deposit?

    Then yes, you will need to ensure you order the collector's edition. This should be clearly identified at all of those retailers I mentioned earlier.

    eg. Final Fantasy XIV Collector's Edition (with Onion Helm Preorder Bonus) - PC Games and Downloads - GAME.co.uk - click on "Product Details" on that page for the part where it states what items it includes...

    Adventurer’s Branded Tumbler
    Behind the Scenes Bonus DVD
    FINAL FANTASY XIV –Branded Security Token
    Map of Eorzea

    Hey guys, just a note if you have your documents stored on a drive outside of the drive you have Windows installed on and are using Windows 7 you will experience "11023 Unable to access server for version check" and "11018 File Access failed during version check" errors.

    To fix it you have to create a brand new administrator on your computer. Update your copy of FFXIV, then log in using your normal account, copy the files created in "[Windows Drive]:\Users\[New Account Username]\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\" to a folder in your documents folder called "My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\". Then delete the new account you created and it should work as normal.

    The more you know eh?

    Just wanted to put that you should say YES TO MERGE FFXIV BETA WITH FFXIV RETAIL when you install the game. Otherwise you will lose your character names and stuff. I didn't so i am now waiting on the people at SE to resolve this issue...if you care about the name you 'reserved' in beta don't make the same mistake i did.

    Whoops i meant to say 'now i am waiting' instead of not waiting. If the name matters enough you should go to their online help desk at your SE Account site and search for Beta/Retail accounts. Then submit an application for a new CD Key which might take a couple days that lets you re-register and merge them. I am waiting on that =/

    I think I'll remove this thread from the sticky area for now and will add a new one come 2.0.
