If I use my friends beta account switching off with him weekends, will they find this against a EULA or something? Or will they not do anything to his account

it is against the rule's.

its against the rules but they cant tell honestly.

so every weekend the beta is up?

probable (thoughts) on the schedule for beta:

phase 3 test 3 = june 28-30

phase 3 test 4 = july 5 - 11 (could be till 16th. it is either till the 16th or there will be 1 extra week in the down time till phase 4)

1-2 weeks of downtime (i am assuming 3 weeks of downtime)

phase 4 = august 2 - 16

downtime (according to yoshida it could be 2...3...4 days) -> i assume it will be 4 days

august 20 = early release (i believe pre-release will be a 1 week time period)

august 27 = game launch


If all of this is right...i will be surprised though.

How do you get in on that early release?

By pre-ordering the game or having 1.0 Legacy status.

i sold my account i had with all 50s. Ares Godofwar, imma start new. Im likeing the beta, my goal right now is finding the fastest ways to level, in order to start crafting and be ahead of the curve to make gil like i did on 1.0 release. Imma do smither again.

I'm thinking of doing something similar. A few coworkers and I plan to get our own little group together; how many people are there for a full party in FF14?

For all dungeon content etc, (past the low levels at least...), the party size is 8 man. This includes primals and dungeons, and maybe some other stuff (I'm tired). There will be 24 man content (3 full parties of 8) for crystal tower and bahamut's lair.
