Maybe consider signing up for http://www.Justin.TV and stream playing the game so the people didn't get in can check it out with you?

Link on how to stream (takes about ten minutes to set up)

I can't tell if this is a troll attempt or if you're serious....

When the alpha does go live, try browsing an anonymous board like 4chan's /v/. It should be pretty easy to find leaked info there.

Too innocent to be trolling, really.

You'd be surprised how few people would actually even consider tkaing screenshots. I mean, we'll get tons of information but not as much as if everyone was in on the leaking festivus.

yea seems serious.

I'm hoping to see some youtube videos once this thing gets going. I'd like to see more of this game in motion.

LOLOLOLOLOL OMG THAT WAS FUNNY.................will get a lot of ppl pissed but someone who knows the joke behind that video appreciates it hahaha.

Yeah I was being serious sorry for any confusion. I'd like to see the game from real people instead of "Here is a screen shot - see you next month! Shit that we've been given since the first Vanafailfest (*my opinion*) on XI. Kinda like how E3 is so addicting to follow, you know? Especially when they announce things similar to FFXI - obviously if you've played XI for so many years you eagerly want to see what's up from the real people that test it, real time information, yeah. Now I don't mind saying "Cool, i'll check out the beta later." They gave you this huge build up for March 11th only to give strict ass rules for something that's intended to be fun. I am aware that most are ANAL (square staff) and paranoid (people who are selected) but there are ways to post the information without being caught (....seriously sounds stupid, its a f&#*ing video game...a video game) Which may sound crooked - but not as fucked up as the GM guide below (*my opinion).

We all ready know some shit about the game (No PVP/Jumping basics, but "may be added laterbalolista1.5) now some of us want to see it in action and get up to date/real time information. The fact they've released a game to "FFXI players" and are being so ... "Square-Enix" about it still is disappointing. Being selected in a alpha isn't my issue so if a select few may think I sound like a bitchy "boo hoo I didn't get in beta" kid, not at all (I quit a few years back) and apologize. But I didn't expect them to still be so anal and uptight as they were a few years ago I guess. Not sure if people will flame me, agree with me, or what. Their current service reminds me how shitty the GM's were that handled the game until the veeeery end of it's life.

Go go Final Fantasy XI GM Book leaked out awhile ago: http://www.ffxi-reve...php?topic=258.0

Also ..I'm not a "WOW" Fan boy and couldn't get into it but how Blizzard runs their MMO and their games are pretty cool. I thought they'd handle this in a more fun way I guess, was that just me too? From the regular updates on World of Warcraft (the game Square wants to compete with) to the Starcraft beta. Obviously they(Blizzard) know they know Starcraft is being being streamed on Justin.tv/Ustream but are cool with it and expected I Square to do the same, just user friendly shit I guess. Square on the other hand seems to be very ignorant to what people want. This isn't a "So don't play It If you don't like it." thing - just got my hopes up expecting something different from a new game from an old company. Does any of this make sense? Probably not but it's my two cents.

HOLY MUTHA FAKEN YES BEEYOTCH! I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!

DOOD! SE is the most up tight mutha faker video game company EVER! I totally get what you're talking about. I got selected for the beta and everything and they have their official beta forum sites and shit. So there's this thread that a guy started basically saying that SE never gives a shit about ppl, and that we never get information. Almost EVERYONE in there thought that we were gonna get to play the beta game but if you've read the forums here you'd know that SE gave us the finger and saying that we can't test it. So I replied to this guy's post saying that I agree with him 'cause we're customers who spend a crap load of money and their time in their account and we get no respect in return.

This morning I go to the tester's site to log in, I log in and they tell me that my account got banned LOL. Obviously I hurt their feelings saying they have shitty ass poor customer service skills (those weren't the exact words, I was rather polite) I'm like "for reals? ya gonna get all emotional about ppl expressing their opinions, well shove it up your ass". You're totally right man SE is the only company that never gives details about their crap they think they're gonna get their ideas stolen and shit. There's not much they others can steal anyway. They said they want our feedback and I gave them mine and this is what I get. While I was there ('cause I can't log in and check anymore) I saw a lot of ppl saying things like "you'd think SE had learned from their mistakes, but they didn't and they still keep pissing ppl off with their bull shit info." It really doesn't piss me off that they kicked me out. What pisses me off is the fact that they're too fucking gay, I never insulted no one there only said what was in my mind. They just nazis bro lol nazis. But if you get a word on some good medio lemme know.

Yes, that can also affect not only yourself, but others on this board who happen to be alpha players also.
