Annnnnnd They're Gone

I suspect they'll fill up but they should do something like they did with Japan and move some existing servers to the new DC. It might not be popular for those being moved but it would help kick start the data center. I think they made a big mistake with Materia leaving it to transfers and new accounts and not moving a couple Japan servers and adding a couple new ones in Japan.

That might not be the worst idea.
I wonder if they will do something when EU gets their new DC.

At this point, their announced plan is to have the new EU data center have 8 new worlds.

I think they'd be better off having 2 worlds from each of the existing data centers and 4 new worlds on the new data center, with 2 new worlds added to the existing data centers. That would give all the data centers sufficient end game population to fill queues for end game content or the side content that most players ignore until they reach level cap.
