How we are all going to get on the same server

[Rostum]

Quina server.

Yes please!

I didn't realise alpha had server names. So I'm not sure what ones are there at the moment.

[Lionx]

I am just going to go where Omecle is going and bring all my friends that i know irl to it. Its going to be awesome like old times

CELES SERVER

[Aydin]

Let's have a poll, and whichever has the most votes will be the one we all will stick to.

[Mirage]

There's no reason to have a poll like that when no one is already playing.

[Loony BoB]

It doesn't really need a poll anyway, really. They're just names. If the server names aren't known until the release day, though, we'll need a thread where we set it up so that people check before they register to a server. I imagine that we'll know the server names before the game begins, though. It just seems to make sort of sense to have that information revealed so people like us can plan ahead. If not, though, we could always say "Post in this thread if you are looking at the list of server names and give yourself a minute or two before checking the thread again to ensure nobody else got the list of server names at almost exactly the same time... first person to post in the thread can pick the server we all go with."

Because again, it doesn't matter what the server name is... so long as we all get on the same one, I'll be happy.

There might not even be the option to choose your own server in the beginning.

There might not even be the option to choose your own server in the beginning.

Don't say that.

[oddler]

I really would cut my life into pieces.

[Loony BoB]

I imagine that at the very least they will have the original world pass scheme where you can give other people codes that allow them to join your server. But hopefully we can just choose anyway.

[Mirage]

If i can't choose my server, I'm not playing this game. S-E has had so much time figuring this crap out now that I won't have a lot of patience when it comes to player-unfriendly design choices. There's enough of that in FF11.

That being said, I can't really imagine S-E not giving us the option to choose our server in FF14.

[KentaRawr!]

If that were to happen, I'd just delete my character and remake it until I get the desired server.

[Loony BoB]

Would that even work on the old server system? Wouldn't you need to pay every time you created a character?

[Mirage]

No. You pay for a content ID, and each content ID can hold one character. If you delete the character, the content ID is freed up and you can create a different character there.

One Content ID is included in the initial subscribtion fee.

Of course, this is a retarded system and everyone should be able to make as many smurfing characters they want without any additional fees.

[Loony BoB]

Why is it so bad? Just curious. I mean, I know it means it costs to have multiple characters, but surely there should be no need to have multiple characters? I know some people do it for "mule" purposes but that would be a flaw with the item system rather than a flaw with the character system.
