Question regarding servers

Does Brazil/LatAm have an unoffical server? Australia somewhat uses Tonberry in Japan as it's unofficial for that region - even though a lot more Aussies seem to play in NA rather than JPN.

If there is an unofficial LatAm server, then a population bump is much easier to see. Like this:

Either way, I hope all our LatAm friends can keep paying their subscriptions and getting their friends to do the same, and SE will see that in the numbers when they decide if more DC are needed.

Behemoth is host to a sizable amount of BRs. Other Latam players are harder to spot.

E: I apologize if I sound negative, but I'm trying to be realisitc at least from my perspective from Argentina. I went to 3 different schools and college, plus 2 different workplaces and I'm a very outgoing person, and I can count the number of people that I met that played and completed a game in the Final Fantasy franchise with my hands. Maybe the scene is different in other countries from Latam.

A US east coast server would be nice. I'd have better ping. It would be a nice compromise overall. :)

Again, it comes down to ROI.

The unofficial br server is Behemoth. However, people have been creating characters all over Primal since world visit and character creation restrictions, and some people are on Crystal DC cause of RP.

And yeah, consoles are really expensive in Brazil. Most brs I know play on PC.

A South America DC would be great, but even a US East DC would be good too. I live in Northeast Brazil and get 80~100 ms to servers in the US East Coast. In US West Coast my ping is 140~170 ms, with VPN/ping reduction programs. The further south you are in Brazil, the worse your ping is.

I'd love to see the game in Portuguese/Spanish, but I don't see it happening anytime soon since they'd have to translate the game, pay for voice acting (br voice actors are great, seriously) and hire a whole support team for the region.

Nevertheless, I'm still pushing for it (:

I wonder if they could give players a window in which t transfer characters for free to the new data center.
If memory serves me , they did it when EU data center moved physically to Europe.

I believe they already said there will be free transfers.

I'm sorry to tell you that we may not *ever* get one S.A. server because *we are excluded* - unfortunatelly. And I say we, because I'm also Brazilian.

We -S.A. Countries/people- weren't even quoted/allowed to particiate in "The Uznair Challenge" event that just happened (May 14th).

Just look at 'B. Territories'.

Sorry mate, we are doomed to use VPN or cry in silence.

So nice of you to come here with all this positivity and foward thinking... im amazed you are still playing, there is a saying, "if you cant say something nice, dont say anything."

Anyone from SA that is playing the game either speak english or is using a translator overlay either way no worries in doing the game in PT-BR, i actually wouldnt play it in PT, i cant stand the names translated in PT, WoW became something else translated...

What im asking and the positive side of the community is asking is for a server so we can have a competitive latency without having to pay extra for a VPN to assist, so one more time...

SA server in São Paulo = AMAZING/PERFECT
NA East = Very good solution, would do wonders, a server in miami or DC would be great

Please, we need this! Would be perfect and will bring many new players to the game.
