Lodestone update server names revealed

[Supergroovegear]

Selbina > Ridill
Wutai + Gysahl > Masamune
Rabanastre + Cornelia > Durandal
Melmond + Figaro > Aegis
Istory + Mysidia > Gungnir
Saronia + Lindblum > Sargatanas
Fabul + Besaid > Balmung
Trabia + Kashuan > Hyperion
Karnak + Palamecia + Bodhum > Excalibur
New Server > Ragnarok * (recommended for EU time zones)

The additional context people providing to the new sever names is enlightening (all one word sword names of course). I am guessing server 10 with the name Ragnarok might actually draw EU players and players from other timezones to the server. It might not be a problem filling that server at all and it really is the residual of the merge option #4.

Allow me to be the first to say: Sargatanas is a terrible server name.

Lol? I was just thinking the opposite
Sargatanas sounds gewd! ^^ We are the demons man!

Funny how they took FF weapon names as servers

Oh and btw, is Saronia a big server? I don't see many people of there posting here.

Maybe Saronians are all busy playing the game instead of hanging out in the forums? ;D
IDK.. last time when I made a new character the Saronia server had only 1 chocobo.
Though that was some time ago so I don't know how it's now...
In game I'm too busy with doing leves so I don't really pay attention to what's going on with the others.

Why is everyone hating on Sargatanas? I think it's a badass name. Cool looking weapon from FF9, and it's the name of a Demon lord from Hell...

A question:
these new servers will have the same infrastructure of the old ones or they could be considered the famous "new servers" we are waiting for (with the known problems resolved inside)?

Same as the old infrastructure, sadly. The 'server infrastructure' issue is the whole reason of 2.0 to begin with. They need to entirely redo both client and server software to change the way the servers interact with eachother. A server merge is essentially just tossing data from one server to another.

I was thinking the same thing. Dive on in, ladies and gentlemen, the water is just fine.
