I agree with you Manda, I don't want to use Gaia as a theme either. As for the list of servers, we're stuck for now.
But what I wanted to accomplish now is a good list of dedicated people that are VERY sure they are going to get FF14 and would like to stick together once the game starts.
On the topic making names for our LS or Guild, posting as many ideas as possible now will help us make a final decision later. Also, over the course of the following months until the game comes out, we'll see who stays serious and who wanders away. I'm not saying that is a bad think, cause we can always make a comeback.
There is one new piece of info I'd like to share with you guys now so you can think about it as the months pass: I have a friend that is one of those PROFESSIONAL WOW players and he's played just about every MMO that's ever been made. He still plays WOW and he's also doing AION right now. Anyway, he's a pro at MMOs and just as I am meeting you guys here on Gaia to form a group so that we can all play together, I've been doing the same thing with him.
He and I have a list of about 20 names of people we know well that are HIGHLY interested in grouping up once the game comes out. So whatever path my friend and I decide to take, is the path that I'm going to follow, and I hope you all want to come with. I'll keep you posted on every important detail that he and I discuss, but for now there's not much to say other than what I already said. ^^
Is that ok with yall?

chaosmusician so referencing gaia is unfavoured ... what about something like preemptive alliance... or something like that i cant even spell it -___- I think you spelled it right. ^^ That's a better idea for sure, not the money shot, but closer to something I'd like to follow.

It always seems to be easier to play with people you already know or something rather than trying to solo. I've got a few RL people wanting to all play.
And as far as the name I'm not a fan of "Gaia" or anything like that.
The3Vintage3Imag3 That sounds fun, having 20 people already haha let me know what's up maybe my little group can join yours. A few of them are sort of picky (wanting to play wow and stuff or w/e or giving up because of the cost) so not sure what numbers I'm looking at right now.
I like werewolves. =^.^=
But ya... my sister and I already have opted to be the Mithra cat women. I played an Elvaan for three years pretty tired of it and she was a tarutaru. xD Gotta get on something new. smile I'm just assuming it'll put you in whatever city your race is familiar too and you'll have to level a bit to join others.

I thought that at first, SynysterDemise, but maybe they will allow the option to start in any city the way FFXI did, with the draw back of not getting some special 'ring' from your home city. This process must exit for our idea to work. If we are NOT allowed to choose our own city, we would all be forced to play the same race to start out together in the same area. Or like you suggested, we'd have to meet up later on when we have gained a higher level.

If its anything like xi you should be able to have multiple linkshells. but who knows if this will be possible but if it is we can make two of them... one just for people who are on gaia and another that anyone can join but was still created here. The one thats just a bunch of people can be named whatever. while the one just full of people from gaia is named something gaia related.

Or you could also make multiple characters. I'll most likely have two characters. My mage/healer will be a lalafell. while my fighter (not sure what job yet) will be a Mi'qote or Elezen.

I'm not sure yet.
Me and the fiance are going to have a joint account, because we're poor as a dirt right now with a lot on our plate. He's been playing FFXI a long time and we both have an amazing link shell we're in. We'll have to get in contact with them first until I can really give a solid answer~ We'd rather stick with them first, ya know?
If they're too scattered thou, we'll probably join what server you're all on.
I hope it's still just colors, it was nice and simple. Not intrusive at all~

So it seem that we all have other friends IRL that we're planning on playing with first, this doesn't surprise me cause of course we'd rather go with our friends lol.
In the event, however, that we do team up somehow (maybe our real friends will agree to follow this gaia movement? lol), this looks like the start of a strong group that we're starting now. ^^
I just wish they would release the game already. Is it still set for the end of this year?

This is exactly why I wanted to join this guild! Only, I haven't seen anyone come up with ideas about a starting city-state. I personally like Limsa Lominsa, not because it's the only city with info on it on the official site, but because of the port. I love the ocean.
I read a transcript of an interview with...I don't remember his name, but one of the directors of XIV and they are hoping to have the beta last a few months longer than XI which lasted about 3-4 months. We're looking August, September, October...something along those lines I think.

We're looking August, September, October...something along those lines I think. Oh really? This is good news. Hopefully they'll fix more bugs with the extra time! As for a starting city-state, you're absolutely right! Assuming that XIV will be like XI when it comes to letting us pick our starting city, we do need to plan for that. This will be a very hard decision to make for sure. But the more we plan now, the better off we'll be. mrgreen

I think ill change the name of this thread a little since we've expanded the topic of conversation; it'd be nice to have the servers, link shell, and city state conversations here.

I updated the first post, please check it out! I also changed the title of the thread, it was time for an update.
So I think I had a good idea inspried by all of you that have been posting in this thread; keeping a list of names for the various things we'll be needing to clarify on. So here's what I'm gonna try first:
Fill out the little survey that ill post next and post it here and ill keep a list that ill update on the first post on page one. That way we can refer to it and see what everyone is thinking so we'll be able to narrow down our choices as we get closer to the release date!
At some point along this journey, we'll have to ask that only serious patrons apply, but we're not there yet. mrgreen
