a 3rd NA data center maybe?

ever notice how JP has 3 and less servers in theirs than NA, so how about we get a 3rd data center too move some of the NA servers to it that way all the super big servers are not all on Aether, and this in turn could also help lighten the load on the NA data centers we have

I am interested to see where all that extra budget went to. It couldn't ALL have gone to Carls Jr right?

with gilga going down this shows us we really need a 3rd data center to help lighten the load for NA servers

It also shows they need to really upgrade servers, not just saying they did

Splitting off Balmung and Gilgamesh onto different servers would likely be a cheaper alternative.

A third center would be great now that we have some cross server stuff with more in the works. Greg deserves its own solar system.

As a member of greg I would happily move to a newly created server. I'm reluctant to leave my current home though only because I started here, my FC is here, my house & FC house is here. I wouldn't want to go or drag my FC somewhere else unless I knew I could secure us a large home... and honestly I dislike being on the same datacenter as either Greg or Balmung. It's messy and we seem to crash more than any other data center because of our 2 bloated populations.

The incentives SE is offering now is nice but its sadly not enough to entice us away. A new server would do just that for my FC.

I don't mean move you off greg man. I mean a third data center where greg is moved as a whole to. Love you guys but AETHER ain't big enough for the both of us.


EDIT: And just saying the popularity this game has shown more then qualifies for a third center. A big population is a good problem to have so let's roll with it.

A datacenter with 2 servern

If anything Balmung would be moved. You're twice the size of us lmao.

Either way. I doubt SE would move Balmung or Greg. That is a silly notion.

a 3rd data center though? Maybe not so much.

I know. I'm saying since both Greg and Bal are huge, one should be placed in a center other then AETHER, a new one, sprinkle in a few of the littler servers and maybe a new one if this level of play continues. I'm agreeing with the OP we need a new data center, a third one.

Hey I'm good either way. I assumed Greg would move as I thought the lesser pop makes it easier to move. But I'll admit I have no understanding of large scale computer stuff. My expertise is in biology.

and That's what I am saying we dont need to add any new servers just move some of the other servers to a new data center to take the stress off the ones we have. Having both balmung and greg on one data center is just ridiculous

Won't likely happen unless server populations equal out. As of now, they just look at the distribution and say they don't need another center, players just need to even out.

It would certainly make more sense to have three datacenters located by region (East, Central and West).

That won't help the bottleneck through the instance servers as they are common across the datacenter. Being able to spread the high population servers across datacenters should help the bottleneck since they would no longer be competing for the same resources.

Funny thing, the morning conversation between the hubby and I was about how they should of split the NA data to alleviate load. Dunno if that would really happen but would imagine it would make it easier for the dev team as well to deal with issues then having 1 mega cluster?

Balmung, Gilgamesh & Leviathan all need to be on different Datacentres (Aether, Primal & a new one) with the rest of the worlds spread across the Datacentre in a way that balances load. Primal is too overloaded so I can only imagine what Aether is like, having those too overloaded worlds on it.

Effectively, a complete new set of servers are needed. It'd be a chance to have a new East Coast USA Datacentre too, if it was beneficial.

Leviathan was added to the overpopulated list alongside Gilgamesh and Balmung. Looking at the census, Excalibur, Behemoth and Hyperion will be next.

There's too many people on the NA servers. There definitely needs to be a third data center.

A third data center to split up the servers NA has might help. Adding servers would help... For a month... then all that came to play leaves once again bringing most of the servers to mid to low pop status.

So ya. A third data center, but I doubt doing more than that will be a good idea in the Long run. (Also I suppose upgrading the darn things. Blizzard's servers are boss compared to these... I don't remember the numbers but 20k people seems small compared to theirs and Legion had to tinker with amount allowed vs not allowed to keep the servers from imploding.)

spend money? on making the game run better? lolololol never.

now I am seeing a lot of threads for more servers when throwing more servers especially on the NA data centers we got now is a super bad idea just need a 3rd one before we even think of new ones

if people would actually leave the over populated servers and balance the load across the data center things would improve. FYI a DATA CENTER MOVE IS AN UPGRADE TO SERVERS. Do you honestly think they just picked up the servers and physically moved them? Anyone that thinks this does not at all understand what a datacenter move is. That means the data was actually TRANSFERED to a new server. However we have had so many people trying to access even new servers couldn't handle the loads.

A new set of servers were installed.... that's what a data center move means. They MOVED THE DATA.

people aren't going to leave, and that's why it would be more beneficent to just transfer balmung or gilga to a new data center this way we don't have as many over populated servers all mashed together on one data center

A new set of servers in addition to those we have. You appear to have misunderstood.

No I don't misunderstand. The over all game population of the 2 NA data centers do not require the addition of more servers. What is required are the people on the OVERPOPULATED servers take advantage of the free movies and all the bonuses and extras and MOVE to a less populated server to balance the load on the data center. But people are selfish and want SE to cater to a fraction of the player base in NA because they want to stay put. They have given solutions to the issue. It is the fault of the players who are complaining and refusing to take the solutions offered.

And if you go to a server like famfrit or others you'll be in the game in less than 5 minutes.

but the solution offered wants a lot of people to move off an NA data center to a EU data center where they will suffer from higher ping, if NA had a new data center with a new server atleast they could move to a server on a NA data center and not sffer the ping
