[lolodin]

will at any point in the beta test arcanist be available?

[Yrusama]

Will the new interface require the use of a mouse at any time, or will it be possible to play with just a keyboard?

[Maat]

What is the Dev team most interested in testing in the upcoming Beta?

[chrillix]

Can you give us some more information on the availability of land for our homes? If I miss out on the initial large land plots will I never be able to acquire one?

[Maat]

Do you believe that the hardcore content is present in ARR as well as the casual?

[Shiki_Lockhart]

Is it going to be possible, when you make a new Linkshell or Free Company, to customize the design, colours, form, etc of crests to be unique instead of default ones and get repeated?

Because is a little annoying to see like 2-4 LS/FC with same crest and colour.

[Katella_Avenlea]

Can you tell us the exact number of the new size of Linkshells and how a community larger than 100 should go about setting up a Free Company?

^ This
and even more specifically...

#1 We know that Linkshells are going to be treated as chat channels, as such is there a limit on how many people can be in a linkshell chat channel in ARR? Will the linkshell membership continue to be limited to only 128 people, or will it now be unlimited because it is merely a chat channel?

(personally I'm hoping it will be unlimited because we've have a large linkshell membership and would like to not have to make multiple shells just to include everyone.)

#2 Its understood that Free Companies are going to take over being more "event" and "endgame" type content groups and it was said that 100 was the limit on the amount of members (which is less than the amount allowed in a current ver 1.0 linkshell). Again taking into consideration that we have a fairly large current linkshell community, is there any plans to increase that number, or to allow formal alliances between Free Companies?

[Nayrr]

As far as the Dark Knight (DRK) job is concerned...

We are aware that it will probably be implemented in the future, but what weapon will it use and will it be able to cast any kind of magic, i.e. dark magic?

[JillyBean]

How will our existing character first log in to ARR at launch (or Beta 4/Open Beta, if that is the case) - will we have to select a server or, will we arrive on our existing server? If we will have to select a server, will the server names be announced in advance?

[JillyBean]

Since we can only be a member of one Free Company, choosing one will be very important decision. Will we be able to resign/quit/leave a Free Company and join ANOTHER one (right away?)
