If you weren’t one of the chosen few who managed to weasel their way into the game’s closed beta test, your first chance to log a few hours into Final Fantasy XIV will come next week. Square Enix announced through the game’s official forums that open beta servers will go live next Tuesday, August 31 at 7 p.m. PDT.
Though the forum post explains that servers will be live 24 hours a day, only a set number of players will be able to log on at one time. This number will gradually increase as Square Enix tests out its server loads, but in the mean time, players who get turned away will be placed on a waiting list. Just think of it like you’re waiting in line to gain access to a hip, happening night club, only … um, it’s the exact polar opposite.
