    Honestly I felt like I knew they were upgraded in the move to California but maybe that is just an assumption on my part. Was there any mention of new more powerful servers?

    From what they said, it was for expansion and reliability, the old datacenter was going overvoltage, resulting in outages and issues. They may be able to expand the number of concurrent logins per server, but as of the lodestone post regarding the locking of transfers to balmung and gilgamesh, expect heavy login queues for the expansion.

    Its also not only about the power of the server, but how much network traffic it can handle. Just think of rush hour in any major city, even with 4-6 lane highways, it goes bumper to bumper with slow speeds.
