All Worlds Maintenance (Dec. 16-17)

[Lithera]

While I don't consider myself significant (Im one single Canadian) I do consider the entire population of Canada to be fairly significant. All 35 mil. of us. I'd also wager there's almost as many Canadian FFXIV players as total European players. They probably would have been better off using Toronto, but Montreal is not a small city and fairly tech forward. It isn't as big as say Dallas or Chicago but our carriers up here are just as good and perhaps better than places in the US. The reason for Montreal was twofold. Number 1 SE owns the property as they acquired it from Eidos a while back. NUmber 2 it puts the data center as close to Europe as possible without actually putting one IN Europe. The EU players would probably have it worse if the datacenter was in Chitown Dallas or LA. as Chitown adds close to 1500 miles of distance from Europe and the latter two cities add nearly 3000.
