When players log back in to Final Fantasy XIV tomorrow, it’ll be after all of the data center expansions have occurred, but it’ll also be with the new World Visit system in place. That means that you can hop from Mateus to Goblin to Coeurl in the course of a single night, all while your home server is none of the above. But to stress test that service before the launch of the game’s next expansion, Square-Enix is asking people to go out and fight a unicorn during specific windows of time.
The idea is that players will be told to all rush on to a specific server and one specific zone via the world visit feature, but the destinations won’t be announced ahead of time, so it’ll test the service under spontaneous load. Testing the function out will reward players with… well, predictable Ixion spawns and the concurrent rewards, which can be hard to get most of the time. So go fight a sparking unicorn and test the servers! It’ll be worth it ahead of the June 28th early access date.Source: Official Site
