Two Questions for the Devs: RP Server and Legacy Naming Credits

[Okipuit]

Hello, I'll get straight to the questions for this:

1.) Quite some time back Yoshi-P expressed interest in providing roleplayers with their own server in an interview. Since then I don't believe any information has been revealed on this matter. Is a RP server still in development or has this option been abandoned?

The development team is currently looking into this!

2.) One of the features for Legacy status was getting your name in the credits for A Realm Reborn. How will this work? Will it be our real names (The name registered in our Square Enix account), our chosen character name (If so do we get to choose which character name will be inserted into the credits) or our usernames? Will it show in the in-game credits or will it be on for example a separate insert in the packaging, or on the Final Fantasy XIV website?

Here's how this will work:

We're planning to use an online registration form that will allow you to create an alias of your choice.

Players will be able to enter a first and last name, both of which can be up to 13 characters in length. The first letter of each must be capitalized, and no numbers or symbols will be permitted.

We're also thinking of allowing only first names as well. My name, for example, could be either Okipuit Ogre or just Okipuit.

Please be advised that there may be circumstances where certain names cannot be used, or we request that names are changed.

Once everything is ready we'll make an announcement here on the forum, so be sure to keep an eye out!

Please please please devs,
remember that most rpers are already on Balmung. If you are going to designate any server it should be Balmung.

Server names may be changed with the release of 2.0, we don't know yet ;~; ; but with their decision to label one server RP, everyone who wishes to will be able to go there so you have nothing to worry about

Uhh not exactly. If they pick other server than Balmung, some RPs might want to stay on Balmung due to friendships they made. Which is why it would be best to stick with the same server~

Being a RPer myself, it would be very hard for me to decide to either stay on Balmung or move to the new official RP server. Many of my friends are not RPs and they prolly not wish to change the server. The concern around this matter is not something no needing to worry about actually.

If they keep the Server names I'm pretty sure they'll keep Balmung as the RP server (since it's pretty widely known that that is where the biggest RP population is and has been since it was called 'Besaid' all those eons ago) ; but my point was that if they changed the server names completely, which is a possibility; then all the RPers would flock to the RP labelled server since there would be no 'Balmung'


It's going to get even more confusing picking where you want to go based on data center too, if you have a specific group of friends that you wanna stick with then drag them with you ;;

You'll have to forgive me but your last sentence made no sense to me whatsover><

I do forsee that with the data centers etc we'll see a huge turnaround of who-goes-where because a lot of people will want to play on a server with less ping; the Balmung you once knew may not be there anyways at launch D:

I just meant that there is something to worry about.

Note to self: Don't make too fancy sentences when english is not ur native language ;o

I am not a grammar freak.... but that looks like a grammar error there.

I don't see anything wrong with it.
