THE OFFICIAL FFXIV INFO: (Retail Updated First Post)

[eowynn]

*******************************************************************EDIT**********************************************************
(official means official in that what we all decide. Its not an official anduril move to FFXIV, no plans yet are made to move the linkshell over to the new game, and probably never will be any such plans that i know of)

Mahoro Update 9/2/10: In the (farflung?) future, once FFXIV even HAS an "endgame" to speak of, we can revisit the topic of whether people want an Anduril "endgame LS." But as of now, there will be at most an Anduril "social chat LS."

Enneisevoli here guys. With permission from Eowynn I'm going to update this first post with all the "official" info that is accumulated throughout this entire thread. Feel free to read all the posts, there lots of fun stuff going on, but this will provide you with the essentials.

Post your retail release character names if you want them to be listed so people can keep an eye out for you in game. Also if you choose another server other than the "official meet up" server, post that also so we can post where everyone is. But i hope everyone decides to gather on the same server

Eowynn's origional post:
Currently I am on Ultimecea Server and planning on staying on it when this comes out sept 22nd.

I would love to reunite with some of you!!!!

[Enneisevoli]

already bought it! Diddnt get a beta invite though, I'm pissed . But my pre-order should arrive day of from amazon

everybody planning on playing should post here and lets make eowynn's server the official meeting spot!

[Andrecito]

I expect to have collector's edition from both Game Stop and Amazon ... although I still don't know the plans for the Beta testers' copies. Probably, have to buy it, but then you get a cert for a kewl item.

[Mahoro]

Ultimecia server sounds as good a server as any to start up an Anduril social shell, assuming we all get to pick our servers come launch (or if they do a World Pass thingy). I always liked Ultimecia as a villain.

Awesome Mahoro, so I far I am really enjoying Beta 2. It will be interesting to see how Beta 3 will look.

What about my old FA friends??? Where are you peeps, it would be great to see you again

[Phane]

I pre-ordered off of Amazon as well and upgraded my PC for it. If Ultimecia is the place to be, I'll see about going there. Hopefully we won't all need world passes.

[Bracent]

I preordered from amazon as well. Look forward to playing with you again soon Eow.

[DarkAurora]

Yay, ppl! I ordered it also. You get to choose your server at the start from what I read in an interview.

anybody have any idea of the best way to get my score into the mid 3000's or higher? Here is my setup. A list from cheapest to most expensive would be great if you have any suggestions lol. Obviously, Better processor, upgrade graphics cards, buy more ram are probably the list, but if you could give me some advise on best options for each of these that aren't ridiculously expensive it would be great. Looking to stay under 1000 if possible but don't feel restricted by that in your advise giving .


The image has all my info, but on top of that additional info is I'm running a 31 inch monitor, 4 gigs of ram and my graphics cards are actually 3 of the listed nvidia in sli. Thx for the help, iv never been a hardware guy lol.

[DarkAurora]

You could try to overclock the video card and/or your CPU. My system is a q9450 w/ 2x 8800 GT SLI. originally I got a score of 3150 on low-res, but after overclocking my video cards to 702/2202 and CPU to 3.2 GHz and applying an SLI patch I was able to push 4353. The SLI patch I think helped the most since I think the benchmark isn't SLI compatible but overclocking did add around 500 point.
