On the 1st of June I decided to see what all the fuss was about and tried getting the XIV trial on PS4. I must say that I am incredibly impressed. So much so that just from actually seeing the in-game graphics and reading about what the game is like, I'm going to be buying the game before I even make a character on the trial.Â
You may think I'm crazy, but the primary reason is that I'm trying to get on Balmung, which as I understand it is easily the most RP friendly server. I stayed up until 5:30am Central USA time last night trying to make a character. I was watching TV while constantly checking the refresh server button every 5 minutes or so on Vita'a Remote Play thingie. Thankfully old reruns of Mythbusters and South Park were on most of the night. Strange show combination (science overall smart show and immature comedy show) but I like both, what can I say?
But why am I already buying the game? Server Transfers. As I understand it from reading various threads here, official, gamefaqs, and other places, you can just make a character on any server of the same Data Center then Server Transfer onto Balmung, even if it's completely full at the moment. Is that actually true? I want to be sure.
This website looks great though, and like it has a much friendlier community than the official ones (not that I can post there yet anyway).Â
I'll likely be looking into RP guilds/Free Companies/Linkshells when I finally get in, and hope the server is as friendly to RP as most people claim. Please note that I mean actual RP, not "eRP". I have absolutely zero interest in eRP.
Thanks for reading, hope to see you around. I'll be changing my avatar once I actually get my character made.Â
EDIT: This concerns me. I found this on the official World Transfer Service page:
So..... which is it?

Quote:* Characters cannot be transferred to a World which has already reached the limit for character creation.That seems to say the exact opposite of what I've been finding.Â
