Data center travel suspended

[NekoMataMata]

That's all fine to me as well, but at least let people travel back to their home datacenter.

I mean I'm not defending them in any way or form. I'm just saying, I feel like there's a good chance they knew this would happen and that they feel like it's going to fix itself on its own.

It's not right, but this is their usual mode of operation sadly.

tbf what could they of done not release it? There is no point in building a system that could handle 15k requests a minute when in normal use it wouldn't see numbers that high. just need to wait for the player base to get the novelty out of their system anything breaks when you push it past its limits.

Better to have something that can handle it than not at all.

for like a day or two? now they've got a lot of unneeded capacity costing them money.

And?
If it's them burning money or having peoples chars literally stuck on other DCs for an unknown amount of time, I'd go with the first option.

Money that comes out of the Yearly budget to fix a self-fixing issue.

Imagine having to rent a bunch of servers on a short-term lease and only getting two days of use out of them and hiring a bunch of network engineers to install and format them across 3 physical locations for again an issue that will fade in like one or two days. its not chump change

How is it a self fixing issue when they are suspending it until further notice ? They are delaying the "big boom", nothing else.

But what about the people stuck on other DCs?

At the least they should've planned something for that. I imagine they could've made it so that if they had to turn the feature off that they could have also made it so that people stuck on foreign DCs could return to their own still.

just chill out and have some patience, you not going to starve to death on the other DC.

I imagine there are some technical limitations that stop them from just booting you back to your home DC. I imagine there are checks and balances between the DCs when you are sent back to avoid any weirdness.
