Crystal's representation in Eureka instances and Party Finder for EX runs is SIGNIFICANTLY below Aether (its about 3.5:1 based on my tracking this stuff for the last few weeks). Cant speak for the two its picking up from Primal.


I still dont get the need to split the EU datacenter and how they picked the Crystal servers...


If anything, the new EU servers could have gone to handling instance load issues where needed and kept it together. Those are two exceptionally small datacenters unless they've secretly been working on Cross-datacenter Party/duty finder, which would be the BEST news possible at this point for the EU and Crystal.
