New data centers

[Metalwrath]

Honestly the main baffling thing is that they're splitting EU.

Last I saw, EU already has one of the lowest populations, and now they're splitting it in half, effectively making the game worse for everyone that plays there.

There are 24 American worlds.Your playerbase is only double that of EU and we have 10 worlds and considering the fact that out of your server population Balmung is completly congested making up a good portion of those numbers i would say that EU worlds are probably more evenly populated than the US ones.

We've also seen a large spike in player base on a lot of EU servers since the WOW refugees came here in droves at Winter.A lot of those accounts will have caught up to current content by expansion release so this will replace any 'void' left in duty finder by spilitting the data centre.
There's also the fact that Eurekas release took out duty finder for 3 days here in EU where it only badly affected US data centre for half a day.
This should be an obvious indication that EU data centre is under more strain than others.
