You have made enough money to move the NA/EU servers

[Tharian]

I would like to point out that this evening's accessibility problems were in all likelyhood a DDOS attack, and as such has absolutely nothing to do with where the datacenters are actually located and everything to do with the fact that whoever was attacking the facility where the datacenters are housed, WANTED us to not be able to access the game, or any other service that is housed in that facility.

Please keep in mind that Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborns North American and EU servers are not the only service being cared for at the Montreal servers. There are other services that operate out of that site as well.

Also keep in mind that even if the servers were located in California, or Japan, or anywhere else, they would still be just as vulnerable to DDOS attacks as they would be anywhere else in the world. So please don't take this out on Square-Enix until it is proved that it is in fact Square-Enix's fault.

Further, servers located in Japan are vulnerable to earthquakes, tidal waves, and what have you. Just as servers located in California are vulnerable to frequent earthquakes, and wildfires. The worst natural disaster Montreal has to deal with are blizzards and the exceedingly rare earthquake, (the last one I was able to find was recorded in 1732).
