Thread: SE needs help for testing their servers before 5.0

Especially because MOST people have the Ixion mount by now.

Since NA hasn't had a black chocobo event yet, could be that lol. But I just wanted to add that I don't think most people have Ixion:
(balmung ranking at least)

Certain people won't take the time to do it but they will take this time for complaining here if there are some server troubles at 5.0 release...the "reward" will be at the release, the fact to be able to play and have fun without crash server (or less as possible) / error numbersomething ^^ or not having your Raubahn 4.0 example x.x which was really annoying.

Hey thanks for posting this op! I'll be sure to log in and participate whenever they announce a date.

Maybe SE should have an incentive to get people to help stress test like a day or 2 sub extension and/or Ixion horns.

Call me crazy, but having stable servers at launch is incentive enough.

Fair enough.

Hmmm. I have never seen Ixion in any form or fashion. So I wonder if this will give me the chance to finally claim those elusive rewards before the FATE itself becomes useless like Odin and the other major world boss FATEs.
