There is a short registration process on Square-Enix website after you receive the email. Then you'll need like 5 Gigs available on your PS3 HDD to download the client. Then login with your account, create character, choose a server world and have fun!

I'm on Gilgamesh Server if you want to party up. Not sure where everyone else on Pixlbit went?  

I think the testing runs from  2:00 AM/PT  Fri - 2:00 AM/PT Sun. 

d'aww so it's only for a few days? ;_;

So far its been three 3-Day weekends. There was no end date announced this week, so?
There was supposed to be a 1-week long trial, but schedule are posted every week.

Also, this is beta Phase 3, so be warned that all your progress will be erased before phase 4. So just have as much fun as you can.  

My job is so unforgiving- I work on weekends. Hah. Do you happen to have a link to the forums? I just want to have it handy for after I get everything set up. ^^;;

Quick tip:
There are 7 base classes to start. Depending on which class you choose (Ex. Archer, Gladiator, etc.) determines which city you start in. Once you reach level 10 you can choose any other class you like, level 15 you can leave your starting city and go anywhere you want.  

I'm playing.  It's a great game.  I'm on Gilgamesh too. 

Anyone else pick lancer? Debating restarting w/archer for phase 4.

Been thinking about it. But will probably miss out since I want to upgrade my PS3 HDD to a 1TB before I try something that might be heavy on the DL.
