Which server should we all go for? [Conclusion: Lindblum!]

[Loony BoB]

From the Open Beta page:

As long as the World you choose in the commercial release is the same as the World you choose in the open beta test, you will be able to transfer your character name. If you choose a different World for the commercial release, your character name will not be transferrable. For details, please refer to the beta test site.

Seems that the server names are decided then! Which should we all go for? I'll put this up for something like 24 hours so those in the Open Beta can all quickly hop into that server and safeguard their name, I guess.

Going by a quick check elsewhere, the leading choices of the public are Cornelia, Mysidia, Lindblum and Besaid. The ones few are opting for are Kashuan, Gysahl, Istory and Trabia. Wutai and Figaro are inbetweeners.

FFXIV STATUS BETA!

Heh. I can see why Kashuan, Hysahi, and Istory would be unpopular.

I like Mysidia and Figaro best I think. But it really doesn't matter to me as long as we don't go for the garbled sounding servers.

[Loony BoB]

Both of those are fine by me. I think all the server names are pretty decent and, thankfully, easy to type. I'll go for whatever is leading at the time that I can finally get a beta application code thing. Mysidia sounds pretty.

Well, I have officially signed up completely for the Beta Test, I just need the download to finish installing (already got the updates, installer should be done much faster).

As soon as it's done and I go to sign in, I'll post whichever server I pick, unless someone has picked one before me! If someone has, please post it now/soon!

THE JACKAL

You got through the application page? I keep getting told that applications for open beta codes are suspended. Did you get in early or something?

I normally work nights, but was off last night, so I kept trying at random intervals and eventually got through. There are quite a few people online. I quit and I'm trying to get back on, but now it's trying to download update files again, and it is sitting with 57 remote connections and 6 local connections but still not downloading anything.

I'm glad they have this Beta though, I'm afraid it may deter me from buying the game before it comes out, but that's good for me, saves me some money.

THE JACKEL

[Del Murder]

Figaro, son!

[Loony BoB]

I can't read Figaro without thinking of that opera song. Which I'm sure is not called Figaro. But might be.

I still don't mind where we end up going. Lindblum, Figaro, Mysidia, whatever.

[Del Murder]

You're weird.

It actually doesn't matter to me. Unless we can get the open beta client to work on Miriel's computer, it looks like we'll have to wait until the PS3 release to play this game. I'm not buying a $60 game that I don't even know will work!

[ljkkjlcm9]

Well, I'm already online and playing in Lindblum... it's up to you whether you want to join me!

THE JACKEL

[Loony BoB]

We may as well all go for Lindblum given that at least two of us are going for it and the rest don't seem too bothered. And if people are that bothered then we have a couple of weeks to go and hopefully not every name will be used up too quickly on release date.

[Del Murder]

No one better steal Tmoney McAwesome on Lindblum! I will be there eventually!

[Loony BoB]

Get into the Open Beta and you effectively reserve it anyway, right?
