My friend and I will be rolling on Behemoth. I run www.generation-gaming.net if you are interested in joining us.
Fairly small in FFXIV right now but will grow :)
I'm gonna start my own FC on Behemoth with a few rl friends.

for your info, duty finder do not match you up with players on the jp data center. It will just match you up with platers on the same data center.
In 1.0, i rolled on fabul, which now is balmung. I could count the number of oceanic players with just my hands :x/ The rest were NA, and after a few months, it end up with just less than 5 oceanic. Having a party in the same timezone as i am was not easy. True i can mix and chat with the NA people if i wake up or sleep odd hours, but their peak period of play is usually our time of work or studies. Many other players from various servers that were not the main oceanic hub, had similar experiences.
Furthermore, end game battles are going affect players with high latency, after much testing done by many, if the latency makes u unable dodge out from ifrit and such attacks in beta, it will get worst with ifrit hard, extreme, garuda and others. When at those difficulty, 1 hit from a special move will take down 3/4 of your hp or even death.
These are reasons why players choose a jp data center and why we decide to gather together in the unofficial servers. If latency by all means doesn't affect u in either server, then by all means go ahead with the NA server :). but if it does affect you greatly like me and others, it is wiser to gather and start at jp data center, rather than level up high and find out latency kept making you have bad experiences in end game content.

Is there a reason why you haven't posted in the latency test thread?Meeha
It has nothing to do with latency tests…
I have decided to follow suit anyways and experience it first hand.
How bad can it be really.
