Schedule
Specific times in late April to mid-May

Details
Throughout the above period, the large-scale FATE “A Horse Outside” will spawn at specific times.

How to Participate
We will announce the World in which the FATE has spawned in the form of an in-game system message. We ask players to join the FATE by using the World Visit system.

* We will not announce the precise location or spawn time for the FATE in advance.
* There may be times where players cannot enter the FATE area due to restrictions on the maximum number of players.

Tyvm Shougun ^^

On an outside note on a different subject out of topic for those who know who:

Am here to remind my support towards those who want Male Viera and Female Hrothgar and every time read the new posts re-requesting the introduction of the both gender counterparts can feel your anxiety escalating for not having yet a response and know that my opinion on this subject does not matter because am not one player that will play such race counterparts but still feel your disappointment and real will to play any of both, can only add for you to never lose hope and patiently wait for one SE answer.

It would have been so deliciously hilarious and self aware if the stress test was against Raubahn.

Spread the word. If the people complaining about the timeframe of the downtime today isn't enough evidence that nobody reads anything, what would be?
Basically, we want more people to know about this, the more the better. Have them actually do it.

If it means getting more server stability, ddos prevention tactics, world visit seams mended, whatever, I say let's go all in.

I'll pass.

This is nothing new and almost all decent MMOs on the global market have been doing this for years... they invite players to an area or event so that they can test the integrity of the servers. That is why it is called a stress test

Here on FFXIV, we did a lot of this for the Dev Team during the Alpha tests and it was a LOT of fun... especially when Yoshi would appear with his charcater in Gridania and we'd flood the area.

Now what's going to happen when everyone's trying to cram into the same zone...

There was a bit more too it than that. Not only was everyone flooding instances for the 2 solo instances for the event but every time Leap of Faith or Air Force One popped in the Gold Saucer people were flooding it as well. Which probably gave SE a ton of data on how the instance servers are holding up right now prior to the expac which is probably why they are only testing zone servers now.

How is that surprising? Never saw alpha/beta/stress test elsewhere?

Even 14 had tons of alpha/beta. And the good things we got out of it is that they listen to suggestion and opinion. Doesn't sound to bad for me.
As stated by others, even Yoshida himself was here listening.

Depending on my work schedule I'll do my best to break these servers!

They can count on me to help.
