5 hour emergency maintenance with 10 minutes notice...

[Nekodar]

Off topic, this has bugged me for a while. It stated matching for DF by Group, yet as a Sargatanasian, I have DF'd with Balmungers who are in the other group. Methinks it's actually done by datacentre, rather than group.

Please do continue with the exciting on topic comments now.

The actual groups were changed in 2.1.

Data centers have been restructured to more evenly distribute server load.

Upon first logging in after installing patch 2.1, you will be prompted to select the data center corresponding to your character’s World. The new data centers and the Worlds belonging to each are as follows:

Elemental
Aegis / Atomos / Carbuncle / Garuda / Gungnir / Kujata / Ramuh / Tonberry / Typhon / Unicorn

Gaia
Alexander / Bahamut / Durandal / Fenrir / Ifrit / Ridill / Tiamat / Ultima / Valefor / Yojimbo / Zeromus

Mana
Anima / Asura / Belias / Chocobo / Hades / Ixion / Mandragora / Masamune / Pandaemonium / Titan

Aether
Adamantoise / Balmung / Cactuar / Coeurl / Faerie / Gilgamesh / Goblin / Mateus / Midgardsormr / Sargatanas / Siren / Zalera

Primal
Behemoth / Brynhildr / Diabolos / Excalibur / Exodus / Famfrit / Hyperion / Lamia / Leviathan / Malboro / Ultros

Chaos
Cerberus / Lich / Moogle / Odin / Phoenix / Ragnarok / Shiva

A data center selection menu has been added to the title screen.
If you have characters on multiple Worlds, please select the appropriate data center for the character you wish to play as before logging in.
If a record of your most recent login still remains, the appropriate data center will be selected automatically.

* Players with multiple accounts will also need to return to the title screen and select the appropriate data center before logging in with a different character.
