It is known. The Oceanic community has decided on the unoffical oceanic servers.
NA Server - Behemoth, JP Server Tonberry & Masamune(Legacy)
From checking the official posts, Behemoth is locked out from character creation. Is there a backup or secondary 'Unofficial' oceanic server?
I am unaware of any "backup" oceanic NA server, as majority of the community decided to roll with the JP servers due to latency issues, but I didn't want to have to deal with always using the translation thingies when I play the JP server, so I just stuck with Behemoth. (And there are still alot of players here at oceanic prime time.) Yes, I know Behemoth is hell to get into, took me 3 weeks, but it's well worth it.
Tiamat is 2nd unofficial server and it's currently locked for character creation. Usually it's locked during peak hour
oceania.guildwork.com
the fc in tiamat: oceania-tiamat.guildwork.com
As noted above Tonberry was the first choice JP server for Oceanic - we have a lot of FCs there.
When transfers open up and allow transfers to any of the suggested servers, i might hop on a bird over there.
I haven't even been able to buy the damn game yet, since digital d/l is out and no stores seem to have any stock of the physical game. Guess I'll have to order by mail and wait for it to arrive. THEN hope the server I want is open for character creation by then. Never had a game be so hard to get ahold of weeks after the launch.
Gotta highlight this. Please note though that Ultima server is a JP server so I'm not sure how it'll go with your connection latency but there is a lot of English-speaking players in that server. To give you better idea, you can visit this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...nies-on-Ultima.
Uhg....Behemoth was open when I started character creation, but closed when I finished. /tableflip
