Has the Materia Datacenter just been abandoned by SE?

[SigmaOZ]

I had a character in Materia, the lag was too much to play comfortably so I abandoned the server, it's been over a year now and those worlds continue to be "new" which means no one is playing there.


I have a solution, dismantle Materia and reallocate the resources in other Data Centers that need it, unless SE believes they will get enough players eventually.

The reason it seems to exist currently is that JP doesn't like to play with EN players. It's a catch 22 to me that JP doesn't like playing with them but there's not enough of them to have their own DC that is populated. They should just fold it back into JP in my opinion. The ping is too great for the people there to play with NA or EU and they're too underpopulated to stay independent.

This is the best solution, there is no saving grace for Materia, it aint growing, almost everyone left when the 90 days cooldown ended, and people have just left more and more over time, there's barely any new players and a big percentage of the population is literally bots.

Dismantle it once and for all and send people with free transfers to Dynamis or to JP smallest worlds if there are any.
