[To Devs] Transferring FC to upcoming EU datacenter

[Vantol]

Well, that's your own fault.

Well, that's completly SE's fault, because they made Sargatanas, which was EU during 1.0 version, into NA server when 2.0 launched for no reason. But it was irrelevant at that time - both EU and NA servers were in Canada and it was stated, that no other datacenters will be created. Now it is not the case. And I think SE should compensate it somehow.

It was announced 2 months before launch that Ragnarok would be the recommended server for Legacy players from Europe.

You were already given multiple chances to transfer to the EU Servers. You had a 4 week period in P3 of the beta - which waived all the current transfer restrictions, and then there was another week of free transfers in the October after launch to help friends get on the same servers.

Well, that's because EU community choose different servers by themselves, later in the V1 when SE merged the server they created the whole new "Ragnarok" server, the only one they branded "EU". Everyone had the choice to transfer onto that new server or remain on the server created from the old ones, knowing it would be a "NA" server to SE. I remember at the time, all the flame on the forum "Ragnarok will be a dead server with only EU players/ not being 2 old servers merged" Well it's not so shabby right now.
It's not strange because Sargatanas, unlike Ragnarok, was never seen as a EU server by SE.

Sargatanas was nether a EU server since its creation during the merge 2012.
1.0 had only 1 EU server and that was Ragnarok (still EU server in ARR). But because no servers got merged into Ragnarok and nobody got transfered automatic to Ragnarok but only those who were active during the merge and applied for a transfer to it were on Ragnarok after the merge and at the start of ARR.

There has never been EU servers in FFXIV 1.0 or ARR 2.0.

There has been attempts to gather as many EU players as you could reach to the same server to increase the activity during the peak hours in EU. This was done by the players in 1.0 where the players tried to raise awarness and gather as many european players as they could on Lindblum. in 2.0 Square enix labeled servers as Recommended for Eu time zone players, as an attampt to gather ppl active during eu peak hours.

Eu has been waiting for its own region for FFXIV since it was announced it would be released with regional play for JP, NA and EU on its relaunch.

So when we do get the EU datacenter, we should be offered the same deal as was offered moving from FFXIV onto the ARR datacenters.

Lets not argue over something that still doesnt exist is my point, Heavensward is around the cornor. And we will be playing that on the NA datacenter, so prepare your hearts to be broken again. While we wait for our beloved datacenter. "Please look forward too it"

Maybe before the merge in spring 2012.
But during the merge it was SE who wanted as many EU players as possible to gather in one new server

Ppl that are active during the EU Time zone ( EU peak hours ), you could be NA/JP and active during those hours aswell. But its all semantics and a moot point, its still not an EU server or world even.

You do play on Ragnarok the "EU world", its rather irrelevant as its still in canada. Wouldnt you agree that regardless of what the worlds are called as long as they are located in EU, everyone that wants to go there on its release should be able to do so. Regardless of where they live in the world.

I think we all want the same thing to enjoy the game as the best gaming experience it can be, and high latency and packet loss is severly hindering that objective for some players. And as a sidenote just because i dont have other ppls problems doesnt mean their problems dont exist, and vice versa.

Nah.. You know, in 1.0 it was international servers only we had no EU neither american it was all mixed "i liked that ".
like many post before me, some EU community had decided this is the server where most we eu players gona be playing. Like balmung and sargatanas It had plenty of eu players.
But before 2.0 we all had chanse to save our data choised a data center and witch is today legacy servers.
So you had your chance if you played in 1.0 other then that is just ur self and bad eu community.

So bad luck..

Just because a group claims a server doesnt make it so. Sargatanas was not EU server, and what about the massive amount of NA players from the merge? They are screwed because a couple ppl claimed it as EU.. sure. It being an unofficial Eu server is news to me anyway. Its like assuming every person on balmung is there by choice and loves ERP.
