Please merge the EU DataCenters together

Why not merge all? We could visit all servers, and play with everyone... dunno why people are against that.

Afaik, it's too much for the current servers, but in an Interview Yoshi-P once said they are looking into Megaservers.

I CANT PLAY THE GAME IN PEAK HOURS, IT IS WORSE THAN BEFORE SPLIT.

You consider quarter to two on a weekday to be peak hours? I would expect most people to be working or in school. Maybe try again in the evening when people are at home playing games?

Edit: Also, I don't know about players in general but me and my friends about the main scenario roulette unless we're in really desperate need of tomestones. It's just not worth sitting through all the cutscenes.

I thought he only talked about visits between datacenters, not megaservers?

Look at the Screenshot itself. Was taken around 8pm.

You mean 8pm Eorzea time. The local time on the screenshot is 13:48. I assume it was taken about two minutes before posting and the poster lives in the GMT time zone since the post timestamp is 15:50 for me.

Was already deleting my post before you answered and will retreat to the Corner of Shame.

I don't care if its too much or not, its suggestion, if they can't make it happen now, maybe in few years. I just want to have the option to play with everyone in EU.

Didn't the dc split happen to avoid at Shadowbringers launch another Raubahn Ex incident, which players did get very vocal about ?

Also since i see that the op is from Lich, i dont know for english and german players, but french ones (who can speak english and with whom there is no language barrier) did massively believe that Chaos would be THE raid server, and most serious raiders moved here. Some kind of self-fulfilling prophecy : if everybody leaves Light, of course it will be hard to find people left on it XD

I understand it is difficult for Ultimate players but I think the issue lies more in how small the number of players who actually attempt Ultimates is rather than the size of the datacentres. Considering the bigger picture, it makes sense why they split the datacentres and while ques are arguably longer than previously at times, on the whole for me personally they feel pretty much average. There is the added boon of not having stupid crashes, errors and login ques during the expansion/ patch days.

Backtracking slightly, I think the greater issue is in how few people actually want to do ultimate. I'm not saying it should go, but I do wonder if there is a way to make it more appealing and accessible.
