    In the Beta Roadmap (page 11 of this: http://gdl.square-enix.com/ffxiv/dow...Roadmap_EN.pdf) it says

    "All FFXIV Service Account Holders qualify as testers in phase 3"

    It seems they may decide to expand this, or maybe that they just stated it wrong here.

    EDIT: And I assumed FFXIV account holders would qualify because they want to test the import of 1.0 characters, and we are the ones who have them, theoretically.

    Yeah, because SE Account and FFXIV Account Holder are two different things. Either it's a typo, or they decided to switch things around.

    This is a typo - sorry, it should say "FFXIV service account" holder. I've corrected it in the original post as well.

    Figured it was, but there's always the " Maybe" Yoshi-P decided to switch things around.

    Thank you for the Response!

    Is the "pre-determined world" the same for everyone on a server, or determined by other factors such as client location?

    I assume you default to where you were before (with the other people who default and don't complete the transfer process). Meaning, if I do nothing, I end up on Sargatanas.

    But it's just one of the questions we don't know the answer to yet.

    My apologies, but this is an indication that you absolutely must use the world transfer and failing to do so will randomize you into a world, so...

    It means there is no option to 'do nothing to stay exactly where you are' correct?

    In that case it's a very good idea to have the transfer open for a long period of time as mentioned, I remember the last set of transfers and how very quickly the 'popular' worlds would fill up...

    Of course based on local server locations this could change a worlds popularity

    • In the event that you don't complete the transfer procedure, you will be transferred to a pre-determined world.
    • In the event you complete the transfer procedure, you can select from a list of worlds you can move to and will be transferred to the world of your choice.

    In order to eliminate any concerns about being transferred to a world you didn’t want to move to or being separated from your friends, we will be keeping the transfer procedure open for a long period of time as well as making various announcements to ensure that everyone is aware and can go where they like.

    For Beta Test phase 3, fundamentally we are planning to allow anyone who possesses a Square Enix Account to participate in testing, so it will be possible to make contact with your friends from within the game.

    We will be preparing thorough details regarding this whole process so that there is no confusion, and will be announcing them at a later date.

    They said "pre-determined world" so, I think you'll know (it won't be random). Though, I, like you, am standing by. This is my most obsessive topic (if it isn't obvious)!
