Please merge the EU DataCenters together

[Rasikko]

Because you had few bad experiences that means we all should have hours long queues for everything?

I'm not sure how long you're waiting or even how much time you have to play, but I leveled RDM and DNC to 80 all on Spriggan, and I didn't wait no longer than 15min max..

This is also another one those "everyone wanted this, got it and months later they don't want it anymore."

You dont play on EU DC so why should you even care?

You know what they say about assuming...

[Kaiserdrache]

But we have 18 million registered accounts, surely the servers are jam-packed with players?

9 Million of that are active or terminated Bots and Gold Sell Spammers
4 Million are mostly inactive players which never ever come back either, or are Sleepers, that just return when a next expansion comes or a bigger content patch and remain until then mostly inactive
The remaining last 5 million are mostly actually the active real players that are spread across the whole game and its multiple douzens of servers more or less evenly

He is trolling.

He is trolling.

I knew, but still wanted just to write it, because that high number of "players" gets always mentioned in regard of FF14, if no with irony or sarcam, nor not - as if it would be something super special XD when the truth decimates this number drastically just to an estimated 3rd of it to get much closer to the realistic truth.

And I just dislike marketing 'hot air' but saying we have so n so much players naturally sounds nicer, than saying we have so n so much created accounts xD

Whether it actually happens remains to be seen, though there was an interview where Yoshi-P claimed that he wanted to allow for cross datacentre world visit at some point in the future. I suspect it'll be a while until it happens, though.

In regards to high end content, there's only a small portion of people into doing it in the first place and many would love the opportunity to attempt it but find themselves excluded simply because they haven't done it already. I suspect if more raiders trained new blood there would be more people engaging in high end content and more of an incentive for the development team to add more of it in the future.

Was visiting or a cross data center duty finder?

[ValkyriaCrystalis]

Yes please !!!

I have been on Phoenix since March 2016 and it’s kind of complicated to tag since the DC split...
Less PF and when you create one, finding people can be quite hard.

Like some OP I like to play on night but the streets have an empty feeling to me.

Highly disagree with this, increasing the playerbase for EU by double greatly increases the potential in finding someone for your TEA group. It also decreases the queue/wait times for DF/PF like others have mentioned.

Also your reasoning for not wanting it makes no sense you just find other players with similar mindsets/goals and if you come across someone during duty finder that you prefer to not play with again you just use the blacklist feature to prevent you from playing with them again. You're going to come across players you rather not play with regardless on which DC you are on.

they are doing 4 man dungeons instead and have no interest in raiding.
