Well Obvious, it has to be more than 3 ( Chocobo/Moogle/Airship) :P so at least 15,000 slots ( but I still think Beta still has some form of stress testing, so I don;t think the full 5,000 server will make it right away, but I believe a good 3k a server will make it at beta Launch =). So my prediction is if it's still the 3 servers 9k people will be able to join beta. and it's a fresh pick as well =). so you have 1 out of "maybe" 9,000th chance to get into beta :P.
