You're not a 100% doomed. I wake up at 3am pacific for work and the server was open on some random day. That was before HW, mind you, but there's always a chance if you log in and refresh the list every now and again for an hour or two you'l catch a window.

My advice is to go into the character editor, make your fav setup, and then save it. Then you can hop onto the server in seconds, instead of having it close before you finish character creation (Not sure if that's possible but w/e).

You could also make a character somewhere else and then after 72 hours spend 18 bucks to transfer. It's, uh, probably not worth it, though I will say that I would never have made it to level 50 without goons. You may find some random fc full of cool people, but it's a bit of a crapshoot.

They almost certainly are, but they haven't announced a time for it yet.

Considering that $18 is about a month's subscription, I definitely think it's worth it if you can't create a character right after maintenance. Especially considering you're already on a forum where you literally paid $10 to join.

Hey anyone registering a new account please use this code for your referral (before you buy the game), you get cool Silver Chocobo Feathers that can be cashed in for suits of cool looking armor (good for sets from Foestrikers all the way up through Ironworks) that is good for transmogrification as well as being good for leveling.

I'm the type of pony everypony should know
Whats up with the Au Ra? I'm at the churning mists already in the Heavensward story and I have yet to see one of the elusive new race to Eorzea. Besides the one NPC (who we haven't heard of for the past 5 levels) we've seen no other Au Ra are around. All we ever meet are Ishgardians and dragons and moogles. I'm just curious how the game explains the sudden explosion of Au Ra players. Do they show up later in the story?

All player characters are immigrants to Eorzea so basically the player/adventurer Au Ra have been there this entire time.

I did the free trial. Then I bought the base game on steam. I didn't want to reinstall it so I just copied the code over to my mogstation account.

Fine, I'm hooked. You got me. I bought the upgrade, and nothing happened. I want to do the same thing, I want to copy over the cd key to the mogstation account and continue playing on the already installed not steam-overlayed version, the one that doesn't snitch on me to everyone I know how loving shamefully I'm playing this game, but the only number in my confirmation email is my purchase confirmation number.

Where the hell is the cd key for the expansion? I'm rightclicking and looking at all these menus and it clearly has a check mark on the "owns heavensward" but goddamn it I don't want to spend all day uninstalling and reinstalling games. Just give me the key. Where is the key?

Why the more I google this the more red flags pop up about incompatible versions and if you made the account not through steam you're hosed wholesale?

If you buy the main game on Steam you have to buy the expansion on Steam to use it. Also if you free trial on Steam you have to buy on Steam to use your free trial character(s).

Imagine, if you will, that Steam is a tyrannical dictator. He's happy to let you come to his country, but you can never leave once you do.

Cuteness aside, if you base game was bought on Steam then you must forever play on Steam and if you bought Heavensward from anywhere else then you just wasted your money.

After FF14 and Heavensward are both installed on Steam, you can find the CD key by right-clicking on it in the Steam menu. You can continue to play on the free trial client, if you want.

The Domans are Hyur and they're from Othard. :shrug:

You can launch the Steam version directly from the install directory if you don't want Steam to log your FFXIV hours or provide an overlay. But basically if you have a Steam version you're using the Steam version forever. If I'm reading you right though, you're trying to upgrade a not-steam version with a steam version, and that won't work.

TBH the steam version is not really an issue at all aside from missing out on expansion sales on places like GMG.

There are also Doman Au Ra, like Yugiri and that princess and her bodyguard from the ninja quests. It seems like most of the races are spread all over the world. The only ones we haven't seen are foreign Elezen, which makes sense since they're apparently the original inhabitants of Eorzea.

Yes. Starting at 56, and jumping way up at 58 and again at 60, Aetherial Reduction gets you loads of clusters.
