Regarding the NDA:
From SE: "As of June 12, 2013, we grant you permission to disclose information regarding the Beta Test."
You all may now discuss freely aspects of the beta test. Note that screenshots of anything from pre-phase 3, any video, and any audio are still prohibited to be posted on these forums. Disregarding this will result in a mod nuking any content and issuing a warning to the offending party. Continuous infractions can result in a temporary RPC account muting.
Regarding Phase 3:
Phase 3 (test 1) starts Friday morning at 5am ET and goes until June 16th at 5am ET. Old characters apparently do not transfer yet until the next weekend's test. This test is focused on server stability.
Regarding Phase 3 Servers:
For the first phases of beta, the RPC primarily was located on the Tonberry server. SE has now labeled it as a JP datacenter. As such, we may wish to select a NA/EU datacenter instead. Note: Our selection for this is NOT that important and will be null and void after this phase of the beta ends. So please, no arguing over it. NA/EU datacenter servers include: Adamantoise / Behemoth / Cactuar / Cerberus(*) / Coeurl / Goblin / Malboro / Moogle(*)
Ultros / Diabolos / Gilgamesh / Leviathan / Midgardsormr / Odin(*) / Shiva(*)
* EU recommended servers according to SE
Edit: The "informal" decision seems to lean toward temporarily setting up camp on Gilgamesh for RP purposes. Again, this is only temporary until Balmung is restored and/or until SE names an official RP server.
