Hey everyone,
Has Square confirmed which of the worlds will be transferred over to the EU data center? Or is it going to be new worlds?
Been looking everywhere and can't find the answer, if no answer has been given can a Dev give a response?

The EU datacenter. ( Primal )
What?! We get a Datacentre what's placed in the EU? No More 180+ ping?!
OMG after 2 Years we getting now our own Datacentre, cant believe it! My dreams become true! Away with WTFast and die additional 10€ Sub Fee.. Canada i wont miss you ^(°.°)^
Hopefully they won't be on potato servers like the ones the game is currently on in Canada.
They need to bring them down to copy the data, because if they simply copy it and let us keep playing it would be outdated. Also, they'll need some time to test that everything went right (servers, data, etc.).
Of course, I'm sure that they might use incremental backups to save some time in the transfer of the data from Canada to Europe, but consider that they need a full day when they "simply" introduce a big patch, so keep that in mind when you think about how long it will take them to do this with all the data that they have to move, copy and verify. At least a day or two.
Honestly as a NA player on an EU server, (I joined it on a recommendation), I was concerned about the prospect of an EU datacenter because I have satellite internet, (the only thing I can get where I live with a download speed faster than 5mbs, I currently average between 15-20mbs download speed with this internet though,) which due to the way such works I already have a natural .7 second lag/ping time. Because of this I have almost a full second less to dodge AoEs than other players, which results in me taking a lot of damage from attacks that already have short dodge windows. The prospect of adding more lag onto that had me concerned initially. But, apparently also because of how satellite internet works, I have the same ping no matter which server I connect to, as after doing some ping testing with the JP servers, I found it to be the same as when I ping the servers based in the US. Not really relevant to anyone who doesn't also use satellite internet, but it does bring up the concern about what will happen to all the current NA players on the EU servers who joined them because there wasn't any difference between the two sets?
I'd prefer if they moved the NA center to California now that they don't need it on the east coast for the EU.
Make the Aussies a little happier.
They will either have to move servers or deal with it as all Europeans have done for the past 2 years. If they join a datacenter that is recommended for EU, thi is something they should have expected. On the other hand, on a datacenter recommended for EU, a EU player should not have to battle pings cause the servers are in the US. I won't be sad to ditch my WTFast sub after the move.
For US players that stay on the EU servers: try WTFast to lower your pings!
When Blizzard relocated the AU servers to Australia it was pretty seamless.
Most of the stuff was done ahead of time and the server was down for a single normal maintenance cycle. No extra downtime.
3.1 i can finally play ninja in endgame xD
still dont know why they would not include a true EU server at launch, it cost them some players, but at least i wont have to deal with this delay for much longer.
Im so used to sub 20 latency in games, the 100+ is really annoying to me.
It would be lame not to, considering that the Chaos datacenter was already tagged as EU, and a waste of resources and money, as I doubt that many people would be willing to lose their FCs and houses. Just imagine the uproar that it would cause, when it's "easy" to copy the data and save themselves that headache.
Moreover, when Yoshida talked about it some time ago in a french interview, he said something along the lines of being gathering information and looking at how other companies did it back in the day. Why would they do all that work if they're simply going to open new blank servers?
