    Square Enix disregards western audience

    The Reply to JP Players... And I Quote

    [NA]Regarding Congestion in Japan Data Center Worlds (Aug. 27)
    Thank you very much for playing FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

    In order to be able to welcome a drastically greater number of players, we are starting as early as this week with preparations to increase our facilities, to be ready by early next week. Until that time, we will be continuing to implement these restrictions as required, and we ask for your understanding and patience.


    *JAPANESE PROMISED MORE SERVERS WITHIN A WEEK*

    Simplification when you know squat about the situation

    What if the JP DC are SE's own DC? Then then can just increase the capacity to make new server. It's house made so it is easy to make
    What if the DC in Canada is a third party's and they are struggling with them on many levels: failure, lack of communication, not reaching SLA...

    I am not saying that IS the case, because I do not know more than you but I make assumptions because I worked in a company providing DC and network services and I know how it can be a hell when it is not your own team managing everything and the people on the other side do not have your SLA. Maybe they are currently trying to find a new provider and can't announce anything as long as nothing is signed? maybe they are still trying to fix issues with current provider... we don't know but yes: JP DC will ALWAYS be easier to fix if they are theirs while USA ones are rented.

    it has nothing to do with preferring JP audience to USA audience. It's purely technical.

    Nowhere among those lines it is said the new servers will be exclusively JP.

    The title of the post says "Regarding Congestion in Japan Data Center Worlds"

    Seems clear there is not yet a plan in place for the NA data center based off that one line.

    The later line that you bolded, which says "Facilities" and the fact that it was posted in English, by NOC_NA DOES lead to some hope that there is a solution for the NA center coming.

    However, if so, why wouldn't it just say "Regarding Congestion in Data Centers".

    A specific answer saying "We have no plans to increase capacity at the NA center." or "We are making plans but are not yet ready to release them." would be helpful.

    Because they said the news under the post saying the problem of the JP servers.
    But honestly idc, i can easily go to a JP server. Same thing imo.
