Basicly I've had some issues with my pc and i have now found the cause of my problem after process of elimination, it was my psu. I have an old Tagan TG480 U01 sitting around (I only removed from my system a few years back because I had enough money to upgrade my whole system) and wonderd if it would be capable of running my machine alright. Here are my specs:

q6600 2.4 cpu

4gb ddr2 geil memory

ATI 5770

Gigabyte p35 ds3r

1tb hard drive spinpoint

I have booted up my machine and everything seemed fine at first impressions. I'm a little strapped for money atm or else I would just but a new one.

What do you think, would it be ok to use this psu?

Not directly, as in there is no such official FFXIV Time Card, like say WoW or Rift or TOR have.

 

There is however a similar means using the Ultimate Game Card which is from a 3rd party source that Square-Enix uses with FFXIV.  Using that link you can find stores in your area that carry the card.  Note that this is only a means to purchase Crysta without a debit/credit card, but the Crysta can then be used to purchase time for both FFXI & FFXIV!

 

Redeem Instructions:  {How to use the card with your FXIV Account!}

• 1. Log in or register for a new Square Enix account.
• 2. Within the Square Enix Account Management System, select “Payments and Service Fees,” then click “Add Crysta.”
• 3. Select the amount of Crysta to purchase and click “Next.”
• 4. Select “UltimatePay” as your payment method and click “Next.”
• 5. Highlight the menu offering more choices and select “Ultimate Game Card.”
• 6. Enter your email address and Ultimate Game Card PIN number, then select “Add Card.”
• 7. Follow the instructions to complete your purchase.

 

You can similarily use the same method above, but choose the Paypal option instead and purchase Crysta that way.  That is of course if you have a Paypal account linked with say a bank account or a debit/credit card, but if you had a debit/credit card you can always just sign up with a reacurring monthly charge.  

 

With Crysta though, even if you have enough balance on your account to afford an additional month its non-recurring.  You have to manually go back in and choose to continue the next month thereafter and from then on. 

can you get these from the UK?

It's around $10 U.S dollars, not sure what that is in euros.  You can use crysta or supposedly, now you can use credit/debit cards.  Of course, I tried to resub the other day with my Mastercard and it kept erroring out, yet I was able to sub to Rift and buy some BK all in the same day on the same card, go figure.  It was the last straw for me, I'm never going to even attempt to put a FF game back on my PC, they can shove it.  I've always had issues with their stupid billing systems over the years from charging me on the first of the month instead of the day I actually subbed, this with FFXI.

    on top of the 10$/month you need to pay for a character slot which is like 2.95$ if i remember correctly. FF has always given  me trouble for payment aswell i think they try hard to make it complicated .

 

Its $9.99 total currently which includes 1 character slot.  Thus $6.99 + $3 for 1 character.  This is until 2.0 official launches in early 2013, then the price will go up to their standard $12.99 or $9.99 + $3 for 1 character.

 

Do you get much discount if you by say 3/6/12 months?

 

Sure do~!

 

Fee Type	Service Period	Fee (*1)
Basic Service Fee (*2)	30 days	$6.99 (or 699 Crysta)
	90 days	$17.97 (or 1,797 Crysta)
	180 days	$29.94 (or 2,994 Crysta)
Character Fee (*3)	30 days	$3.00 (or 300 Crysta)

 

So basically its:

• $9.99 for 1 month
• $26.97 for 3 months
• $47.94 for 6 months

 

When considering that your typical P2P MMO costs:

• $14.99 for 1 month
• $41.97 for 3 months
• $77.94 for 6 months

 

I'd say its a rather fair deal.  Course once FFXIV launches with 2.0 in 2013 the prices will return to their originally planned $12.99 rate.  And while I can't use FFXI as a template since it never had blocks of time you could buy, only month-to-month, I'm assuming that for FFXIV it'll be something like: {each option would include the fee for 1 character}

• $12.99 for 1 month
• $35.97 for 3 months @ $11.99 a month
• $64.95 for 6 months @ $10.99 a month

That'd still be a rather fair deal!

 

~Anyway~

Wouldn't it have been better to compare Secret World Online combat with GW2 as Tera is nothing like either.

How much is it to sucscribe (I'm from the UK) and do I need crysta to subscribe?

congrats to the winner:)

Can you see this?, I'm not sure on the best way upload an image.

Lol, I've just made a complete fool of myself, I didn't read the thread correct. I am so sorry for this, please just delete my post

Mobs are already hard enough so I hope they don't increase difficulty. The only problem I have with this is that the soldiers are horribly buggy and they only attack when they please. Also they tend to wander about the place and get stuck alot. I really hope they improve the AI on them before they let you summon them on landscape.

Has anyone got a spare beta key for Diablo 3 as I would really like to try this game out.

Many Thanks

Well the ftp model that they use is fine imho and they do give you turbine points for completing tasks in game. However, the community on my server has become vile and I stopped playing because of this. I'm not sure what it's like on other servers but my server used to be full of nice people with the odd idiot but now I'm afraid it's the other way around.

I'm still waiting for one (I did post quite a few pages before but never recieved one for some reason). Is there any more left?

I'd really like one if there are any left:)

I wouldn't mind one also if there are any going spare:P

I pre-ordered from amazon and I havent had my cbt key yet (pre-ordered about 3 days ago), anyone knows how long it takes amazon to send them out?

I'm not sure how to insert images so I'm guessing this is wrong?

Is UWO open pvp or can you play as a pve only character?

is it open pvp or can I choose not to pvp?

Personally I wont play either but why would anyone play WoW over SW:TOR?

1. WoW has lots and lots of more PvE and PvP content.
2. Blizzard > Bioware (when it comes to MMORPGs)
3. Single player storylines
4. Orcs and Dragons
5. SW:TOR arcade space mini game
6. EA
7. Lucas Arts
8. Why switch from the real thing to a clone?

I am sure alot of WoW players will play SW:TOR but just like any other new triple A Themepark, most of them will go back to WoW in 3-6 months.

"8. Why switch from the real thing to a clone"

Are you saying WoW was the original mmorpg?

anyone know why my characters have dissapeared now its gone free to play?
