Questions : Are the data center still all West coast or they plan to move one Central or east?

[Karen_Cerfrumos]

This is very concerning specifically for EU players. I don't know what numbers the devs are looking at, but practically, Chaos DC PF has been... less than stellar. Much fewer parties that JP or even NA players would see on their PFs, much worse success. Pugging on EU is a nightmare. It honestly doens't feel like the practical pool of EU endgame players is big at all. By making this split, the risk of PF dying out even more is very high. While it isn't impossible that population will eventually even itself out, it's just as likely that all the skilled and networked players would agree to join together on Chaos, leaving Light in the dust, or vice versa. I understand that this is being done to avoid another situation like Raubahn bottleneck at 4.0 launch, but I don't think long-lasting implications are being properly considered.

Why not just getting some better servers instead splitting community?

[Vivi_Bushido]

you know that's not gonna work like that right? everyone is gonna move to the popular servers and just make them more congested.

Having 4-5 popular servers on a data center is better than having only two. It still succeeds at doing it's job ultimately which was mostly to disburse Balmung since the preferred world transfer incentives were not working.

They however knew that some servers would be horribly damaged which is why they implemented visiting.

I think it's cheaper to screw over players than to buy new servers. Don't quote me on it.

That's literally nothing. You still lose your house, Friends on that Server, and FC.

I thought people were asking for an RP - data center for a while now. This is that opportunity.

Also, they are adding server swaps with max gil enabled so it's not much of a loss for statics to say OK let's switch if they are really dedicated to that group over a course of 2 years or so.\

get full refund on houses etc/

/shrug I like free server transfers.
