Final Fantasy 14 Fan Tests How Quickly Players Resurrect Dead Players in Limsa Lominsa

A Final Fantasy 14 player ran a test to see how quickly his fellow players would resurrect him when he died in a major hub city. By timing how long it took at each server on his data center, this Final Fantasy 14 fan was able to rank the nicest servers on the Crystal Data Center.

Redditor and Final Fantasy 14 player BingOMango was the curious fan who ran this test. A denizen of the Crystal Data Center, BingOMango ran the test in Limsa Lominsa–the busiest of the three original hub cities in Final Fantasy 14–on a Saturday evening.

The Blue Mage Limited Job in Final Fantasy 14 can learn the Explosion ability to deal massive damage to nearby enemies at the cost of reducing one’s hit points to 0. By using this ability, BingOMango was able to kill his character in the hub town on each of the Crystal Data Center’s eight servers. Balmung–the famous RP server of Final Fantasy 14’s US Data Centers–was the quickest, throwing a rez to him within four seconds of his death. On the other side, players on the Coeurl server let BingOMango lie dead for 12.5 minutes. On average, it took about three and a half minutes for players to resurrect him.

This scientific experiment is hardly comprehensive of course–a single test on each server is far from a large enough sample size to make any true generalizations about the community. That said, BingOMango’s science experiment was hilarious and fun all the same.

The Final Fantasy 14 community agreed, with hundreds of comments gathering over the first day of BingOMango sharing his findings. Many players on Balmung celebrated their swift and kind community, while players on Coeurl laughed and joked about being in last place.
