If I become a white mage, will I be loved?
There are no white mages in this game. Closest is Conjuror, which starts out more like a blm but gets access to cure.
I still have no idea what the hell a Thaumaturge really is.
You could do what Danielle is planning on doing - Conjurer and Thaumaturge, and combine the various healing spells of the two to make a white mage. But you'll have to do a lot of work over the months/years on sorting out affinity and whatnot.

How on earth can you form successful groups without a white mage? If you have to go through even more trouble to create a healer, besides the fact that they are physically weaker.. doesn't that sound a little broken?
It's a different game to FFXI etc. and therefore has different dynamics. There are still cure spells, just not "white mages". Conjurer has Cure, Poisona, Raise etc. but also has Fire, Blizzard etc. as well. Sort of like a red mage but without a sword.
How do you play without an out-and-out white mage? Well, you heal pretty fast when you're not fighting, there are a couple of warrior abilities which allow players to gain HP back mid-fight (Bloodbath, Second Wind) and you can always just level up Conjurer to level 4 to get Cure and then switch back to another class and put Cure onto the action bar list. Such is the way of abilities in this game - you learn them in one class, you can use them in others too.
Having white mages will inevitably be a requirement for large parties though, that goes without saying. That's why I mentioned leveling both Conj and Thaum, although it should be noted that Thaum's spells aren't as white-magey as Conjurer's are. There is however Sacrifice (use own HP to replenish many other's HP in a Regen style), Ressurect (Raise for Thaum).

Well I was going to pick the Lindblum server but it seems its not a choice right now.
Looks like im going with the Fabul Server instead.
Not a choice? D: What do you mean?
the game gave me a list of servers to choose from and lindblum was not on the list.
I can't find the news entry at the moment, but basically when certain servers are congested to the point that there are regularly more active players on it than the others, then they won't show up on the server list for a while. When this happens, if you want to be on Lindblum and it's not showing up, the best you can do is wait an hour or so and try again, sadly. =/ But yeah, I know that they come and go and also that they're adding more servers to balance it all out. Lindblum is one of the more active servers, something like 4th in overall popularity or something, but hopefully when you guys try to register it'll be there before too long passes by.
People are still registering onto Lindblum on a daily basis so I can only imagine it won't be long before you need to retry...
