SE needs help for testing their servers before 5.0

They would get more takers if they offer a reward for showing up.

The reward for showing up is getting into the Ixion FATE. If you've already gotten everything you want out of that, great, no need to participate. But it's surely a juicy enough reward to lure in enough players.

Quite honestly, they probably should've considered ARR/HW FATEs instead/additionally. If they really want to stress, better to not have it limited to an area that they'll only access near the end of the 4.0 MSQ, eh?

Good point - I wonder what sort of crowd the horrendously elusive FATEs like the Behemoth, Proto Ultima and part 3 of Coeurlregina would bring in? And more people would be able to participate even if they're not up to the end of Stormblood yet.

so they will launch a FATE in 1 world then announce it on all other world for ppl to come to this world and trying to bring it down, doesn't they?

That's the idea, yes. Testing to see what happens when everyone rushes to a specific world for some reason, and how the servers handle it - or at what point they can't.

Unfortunately, without the promise of a mount for those that haven't got it yet, and minion too?, probably not much. Although damn, Coeurlregina would be nice. The wait time on those is such a killer.
