OCE data centre appreciation

[MichiKyou]

Appreciative.... But not so much on the fact we still cant buy the Physical items from the SE store at all.

There are some Oceania people who will have some hard decisions to make. Transferring for better ping will be great for them, but they'd have to give up their FCs, housing, etc... I'm not sure I could do it.

[M0rrigan]

I hope you guys get free transfers when it releases, otherwise it would make the DC flop as I don't think many people would go over after making friends and having FCs in their current servers.

[Rasler_Heios]

Yes, thanks to SE for this new data center. It will be a decision time once it is open. It's not easy leaving behind an FC and people I already have been playing with in my current server. The Japanese people are also nice playing with. And I have a house... hmmm my house. Better ping... hmmm....

I wonder how many players would change to this data center? they must have friends, fcs ald linkshells they are attached to! I suppose the data center travel will make this a bit better for them, but it does feel like it will be an extremely underpopulated server...


I'm sure this is an investment for their future, maybe 3 years down the line these servers will have a good population.

This seems really great for those in the coeanic region. They've long since suffered enough lol

Did they mention any servers that'll be migrating to the new data centre?
When Crystal was made, they picked some servers that had high populations of EU players to move into the new data centre, along with a couple new servers.

While I don't think Hyperion is the prime choice for moving data centres, it's not something I'm looking forward to happening to those that are on the opposite end.

Crystal did not have new servers and is still in the same region that its servers were in before.

This new data center is in a new region. It would make more sense to create new servers for it rather than move an existing server from a different region.

Well they did move odin (and others) to the EU data centre. In the same way it might be obvious to move Tonberry.


I'm wondering exactly where it will be. I'd love to see east coast AU, it's probably the more central solution, but AU has expensive bandwidth not even cloudflare will put up with. SG possibly more realistic (I suppose 80 ping is better than 140).

Hopefully AUS data centre comes with AUS VA.

"OI! For whom do you fight, mate!"

Very appreciative for this, it will be nice to be punted off platforms a little less often.
