Servers
It has been confirmed that Final Fantasy XIV will be aiming for servers with a maximum of 5000-6000 simultaneous connections. The number of servers has not been decided but more will be added as need be. As with Final Fantasy XI, servers will not be region specific. The auto-translate feature will make a return and be improved.

Square Enix are also planning to set up a system where you can transfer your character name and friend list from PlayOnline to Final Fantasy XIV, but character transfers will not be happening. The game will use the Square Enix ID rather than PlayOnline. To make transfering names easier, there will be character surnames, which get around the issue of multiple players having the same name.

Beta Test

The servers are named after towns from games earlier in the Final Fantasy series. The list of servers currently available (as of September 9th) are as follows:

Cornelia
Kashuan
Gysahl
Mysidia
Istory
Figaro
Wutai
Trabia
Lindblum
Besaid
Selbina
Rabanastre
Bodhum
Melmond
Palamecia
Saronia
Fabul

In my opinion on of the big mistakes they made on Final Fantasy XI was not having the servers Region specific and having Japanese players play together with American players, I love playing with Japanese players but most of them just won’t play with us and that will cut the number of players we will be able to play with and find it harder to find a group.
