You'd be surprised.

If I had no shell or friends playing XIV, I'd be excited to jump into 2.0 with a group of people. I doubt I'm the only one either.

Hell if I had a few friends who didn't have a shell, I can guarantee we'd join a server with a shell being made for 2.0.

You always get guilds/clans/shells recruiting pre-release or server merge.

Same, actually. And then my irl friends joined too later.

Hi there, I'm Izariael Lazarus, the co-leader of Blackjack Linkshell! I'd first off like to thank you for reading and responding to our post, as it's allowing me the opportunity to clarify a few points from the original post.

As mentioned, Krellian and I are returning players, who have played from launch until the recent server close. We've gone through much of the content 1.0 had to offer, and will bring that knowledge with us to 2.0. We will not, however, be bringing our characters into 2.0, since we intend to start anew as Blackjack linkshell.

We're aware that many players will be continuing with their characters in 2.0. For many of you, that will mean characters that already have a loyalty and friendships within existing linkshells. We understand that for those players, the thought of joining a new server with a new linkshell isn't particularly appealing. Blackjack is most likely going to interest players who will be beginning 2.0 with a "fresh" adventurer, whether they be past 1.0 players or new players playing for the first time. Blackjack is here to offer those players with an opportunity to begin building a support network before the game launches, and together we will be able to explore 2.0 in its entirety.

We are eagerly awaiting alpha and beta testing, where we will be able to represent Blackjack in-game and begin a more active recruitment before official 2.0 launch. Hope to see you there!

Beta didn't last five months.

I don't see the problem with getting a little group together to do events.

Does anybody know what the new servers are going to be like? I mean, it seems obvious to me that the way to go is to simply recreate the old servers, with the same population. Your server membership carries over with your old character, just like his gear and levels.

The devs have mentioned that there will be new servers for people who do want to start with a fresh character.

I am interested in a "family like shell" that plays 2.0 for a long long time. App incoming!

**Mudd** · 11-18-2012 06:27 PM

Isn't it a bit early though?

**Izariael** · 11-18-2012 06:36 PM

It's never too early to make friends! V2.0 launch may yet be months away, but there's the alpha and beta phases during that wait, and we'll be able to bring Blackjack to those events.

Nice to see that some other people are willing to start over from scratch, I was beginning to think it was just me!
