Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but FFXI beta kits are being given out free w/ purchase of Xbox360s in Japan to help boost sales. There might be a few hundred of em. =/
Anyways.. I dont see why anyone who is playing atm would want to start a new character on beta server so they can experience competion-less end game content. If Xbox360 beta is anything like PC/PS2 beta.
1. Lack of right jobs to PT. Wont get very far without static.
2. Lack of good gear in the market. No one is high enough to farm Mee Deegi lol.
3. When beta is over you lose the character. Like everyone else who wasted their time on PC/PS2 beta. -_-;
4. (Not something I've done or will
ever do but...) RMTing on a brand new server is seriously l o l. Remember what prices were back when retail began? Midgard I heard sold 1M for about 60 bucks.
I'm sure I'm missing a ton of other stuff but thats all I can come up with for now. I'm tired. ; ;
