So who is moving to OCE is it worth it?

[Tigerlilley]

We do organised hunt trains on Primal, this isn't a JP exclusive thing. Theres an enoumous discord community that collarborates.

I have a large house that I put a lot of effort into decorating.

I'll be clearing it out on Tuesday night ready for the big move.

I love housing and certainly hope to get another one but the chance to help create a data centre with its own unique identity and the idea of not screaming into the screen 'BUT I WAS OUT OF THAT BY MILES' as I fall lifeless to the floor is enough incentive to leave.

Also not having the PF being 70% JP only will be a nice change, not going to lie.

There will be enough of us over there to get content done and if we have to communicate a bit more in game to arrange things that will only be a good thing.

I'm excited, but I am also going to do a walk through video of my house so I have something tangible to sob over while I wait for the Materia housing savage event. I hope lots of people sit on the fence long enough that all the early adopters get their houses no worries!

I will be going just for the 2x and gold chocobo feathers.

Will make an alt there to 30 for the 15 free game time days.

...and the idea of not screaming into the screen 'BUT I WAS OUT OF THAT BY MILES'...

hehe I think so many of us can relate to that one.

Thanks for all the replies , alot to think about :P

Kiwi here.
Im on Exodus and despite having a 800mbs connection still have poor lat. I upgraded for FFXIV alone trying to fix the lat.
Im REALLY hoping OCE servers will resolve that so def switching the first chance i get.

I have been thinking about trying for a house, can afford a small one at the moment but dont think that would be enough room, additionally, Do we really need to have a house when Islands Hit? Im unsure if it will be a waste of Gil or not going in for one.

You hit the nail on the head about the "Oh come on I wasn't even standing in that!" Its even worse as a dancer when you zoom out with your movement skill.... only to drop dead 1.5 seconds later outside of said damage area.

Small house is really quite a good size for decorating. In terms of the gil, you will be able to grow crops in it, to recoup money over time. That is if you can do the daily work for them. Thav Onions, Jute and a few other things will always sell. Don't forget if you start with a fresh character you will also get one-time 1 million gil by hitting level 30. I will be doing that, then transfering after. A trusted friend can help you with the moving of that gil gift, or if not, something on the MB will get you about 970,000 of it.

Islands, I am not sure on. I am in the camp who believes a lot of people will be really dissapointed. I think the "growth and placement of items" will be like what happens when you do beast tribes and the vendors slowly open.

The one thing about a house, i guess, is that you really can't unsub for a period. You need to keep your subscription up from then on.

I know I will be getting a lower ping on OCE. But I wont be moving unless if I can find a group of people I enjoy to play with.

PS: if you happen to be moving and want to form a static where VC isnt necessary, let me know

I feel that! It happens to me on all jobs, but is most noticeable when on DRG. Since I don't do serious raiding, it's a small price to pay to play on a JP server from NA.


Some fights are so bad I have to jump off the edge to be certain I've avoided the mechanic. :P

There's a lot to be said for this. I had the same opportunity Back When in WoW when a new RP server opened and am very glad I took the chance. Not only will you have the chance to help mold the foundation of the server, but seeing it mature over time is quite satisfying.

Waiting with bated breath on the server IP so I can ping it. If it's a big gulf from 150 then I'll move on from EU.
Kind of saddening because I finally have friends where I am. But I hate the latency.
