BETA TEST ROADMAP IS UP!

[Seirra_Lanzce]

At first it's like:

The following players are eligible:

• Legacy Status Holders
• FFXIV Service Account Holders
• Applicants selected through the Beta
Tester Application Site

And then it was like:

- All Legacy status holders qualify as testers in phase 1.
- All FFXIV service account holders qualify as testers in phase 3.

And notice they put Legacy on top both times, To me It's a stronger indicator that we get Priority over Non-Legacy.

That's just me though :P.

Yes, we do get Priority, but that does not mean all of Legacy Players. Eligible means a chance to get in, with saying "All legacy account holders qualify as testers in Phase 1" denote that it still be by selection. :<

Unless some Rep can come here and say it for the idiots like me "Yes, All Legacy will be able to join Phase 1 beta" i will be happy.

They need to explain more.

Is getting more confusing, but i read Eligible as only as a Chance to get in, not 100%-proof that i will be getting it.

Yes I understand that, but with 5-10 world:

If 5 worlds and they stick in at least 2k players that's 10k people
If 10 Worlds and they stick at least 2k players that's 20k people

It really depends on:

- Amount of Legacy Players ( It's an unknown number, but I still think it's a high number *40k*)
- How many worlds there's going to be ( 5-10)
- How many Players they plan to put in each server

So If there's 10 worlds at 2k a Server Half the people will get in ( and assume it will Constantly grow until ALL Legacy Members are in).

If they 5k a Server It's very Possible all of us can get in.

But enough of Math, I'm just happy Legacy gets Priority, I only have to worry about other Legacy members .

2k people a server and even 5k people a server is EXTREMELY low. That wouldn't even get near simulating official service conditions making the "stress testing" completely moot.

Concurrent players and total players are very different things, and in MMORPGs it's very rare than more than 10-20% of a server's active population is online concurrently at any given time.
