That excuse doesn't fly anymore, everyone should be copying Guild Wars 1 by now.
Minus the fact no one has copied Guild Wars 1 yet (does any game plan to?), so I am a bit confused.

Silly line of discussion anyway, but not even GW2 copied GW1.

JP PvP are always funky and awkward anyway, I don't even have enough hope to worry about it.
On the other hand, 10hr to go!

Does it go live at midnight or in the morning?

WoW added arena PvP in direct response to it being the only good thing about Guild Wars.

I can't wait, the only MMOs I have ever gotten into have been WoW and FFXI, and I got into both of those later on in their lifespans. I am excited to finally be starting one from day 1, and I sure hope it turns out to be a great game!

I'm so psyched. I enjoyed the beta. This is just pure fanboyism for me here on the FF series.
As for the PvP, the safest bet is to have extremely low expectations. If you're banking your money on just the PvP being succssful, don't buy it. These are Japanese developers, not the westerners who are so much more inclined to reach out to the community and get consultation from high tier players and designers.
I too played WoW arena at High ratings, I have surrendered to the fact that there will be no other form of MMORPG PvP that will top WoW because I have become so accustomed to it. You just accept that mindset, and wait to be surprised. Because really all this bickering on TL won't do squat on the developer end of things.

Is there a certain server that most TL players have decided on playing on?

Redemeed PS3 code by mistake after failing 100 times and getting infinite Error 3 on PC code attempts...
Guess I'll have to play it on console, that will suck completely. 
At least it's downloading. What server is TL rolling?

why don't you try to get SE to reverse it and give you a pc code?

so the launcher can't even open because of the onslaught. SE 0 - Fail 1 
edit: Launcher working, no EU servers. 0-2
edit2: Got in. 100-2
|
I have the game open, but there are no NA/EU servers up yet
|
Well I'm in already. Playing on Tonberry if anyone is interested.

Game is going to be amazing.
|
Playing on Ultros! Anyone know where to register a linkshell?
|
Hope this game ends up being good throughout endgame and everything. Going to be watching some streamers and stuff for a while before I think about buying.

My power goes out 30 seconds after loading the game up and now I'm 3102ed.
