The Server Selection News Room

[Siben]

I'd like to respectfully request that someone create a thread for the sole purpose of housing server selection data from all sources. That way' date=' once someone knows what major groups are rolling on what server, it can be posted there for our referance to give everyone here a more educated decision on voting for the RP server (if said individuals desire such information)[/quote']

 

As per Brin's request. If you know where major factions (other sites/link shells, etc, etc) are going to be rolling, post it here for the general populace's benefit.

[*]Bluegartr is assumed to be going to Jecht

[*]CKD is eyeballing Garland

[*]If the servers stay Villians, Gashel Goons (The goon guild) will be rolling on Kefka

[*]As things stand now, Currahee (A pretty big LS on BG and the Core), will be on Jecht.

[*]Ars (A guild made up of ArsTechnica.com folks) is leaning towards Garland.

[*]ToG has made no decisions yet, but they're leaning towards a unified Aussy server.

[*]ZAM people in general appear to be heading to Ultimecia with some looking at Kefka, the later will mainly be the Midwest (US) crowd from ZAM

[*]Greg Dean, of reallifecomics.com has asked his readers to roll on Kefka.

I'll sticky this until the vote is over so people can find this easily. Siben please try to keep the first post current and up to date with relevant server info

[Siben]

Sounds good, I don't have work tomorrow so I'll be able to check it ever so often.

[Satrina]

Bluegart are most likely going Jecht for the most part and CKD talked on their forums of doing Garland. CKD is doing some sort of vote or something tomorrow so i'll update this post then.

[ArmachiA]

If the servers stay Villians, Gashel Goons (The goon guild) will be rolling on Kefka

[Mycroft]

As things stand now, Currahee (A pretty big LS on BG and the Core), will be on Jecht.

[ArmachiA]

Jecht looks like it's gonna be crowded.

 

So for me it's no: Kefka, Garland, Jecht, and Sephiroth.

[Siben]

initial post update bump!

[Faust]

I've asked the Transcendence LS to roll on whatever server we select. They're a "fun" LS and I think they would mesh well with the RPC on the non-RP side of things.

[falcolas]

Ars (A guild made up of ArsTechnica.com folks) is leaning towards Garland. ToG has made no decisions yet, but they're leaning towards a unified Aussy server.

[Hugus Primus]

From what I remember reading, the ZAM people is general appears to be heading to Ultimecia and some to Kefka, the later will mainly be the Midwest (US) crowd from ZAM.

[Renaise]

I'm still laughing at the Ars group...

[Tyriont]

Greg Dean, of reallifecomics.com (who has been putting up a lot of FFXIV-related stuff lately and whose group in FFXI was reasonably large early on) has asked his readers to roll on Kefka.

[Siben]

Updated, including a breakdown by Server.

 

Also, didn't know Greg Dean was still in the webcomic business.

[Soren Miren]

Looks like server names may be FF cities:

 

Huntari of FFXIVCore managed to get through the muck and supposedly got on the beta tester's site where they posted a list of OB servers. It's unconfirmed right now, but here it is:

 

Cornelia

Kashuan

Gysahl

Mysidia

Istory

Figaro

Wutai

Trabia

Lindblum

Besaid

[Eva]

Have any of the large-scale or griefer groups settled on any of these?

[Asyria]

A bit early to tell I'd say but we only need to associate the FF villain they were planning with the city of the corresponding FF game (in order from 1 to 10 in that list).

 

Based on that...

 

* Garland = Cornelia

o ARS

o CKD

o Kupo Knights

* Jecht - Besaid

o Bluegartr

o Currahee

* Kefka - Figaro

o Gashel Goons

o Reallifecomics.com

o ZAM (half?)

* Ultimecia - Trabia

o ZAM

[Asyria]

And here's to confirm my little theory. ^^

[Rhio]

I will admit to being heartbroken that the FFX server is Besaid rather than Zanarkand. Also sad that we only have ten servers - a Jeuno server would have been ever so wonderfully meta.

[Kylin]

Figaro seems to be big for Eorzeapedia so far. I think someone already said we should strive to avoid that one though due to the griefers mentioned earlier.

[Trizzip]

I knew that cities would be the server names. I'm kind of hoping that Narshe pops up.

[Zane]

I'm skimming through forums and posting any groups and where they're going whether I know them or not. I will update this post as I find info. If any one knows a group that isn't obvious, feel free to elaborate.

 

Currahee looks like they are going Mysidia. The Core kids are going Lindblum

[Kylin]

Figaro appears to be the new Kefka. Some of Zam is organizing there.

[ArmachiA]

Figaro and Gysahl are the 1 and 2 for the goons. Will keep you posted as their vote JUST went up

[Smiling River]

FFXIV Core are going to Lindblum, please avoid >_
