Has the Materia Datacenter just been abandoned by SE?

[Iscah]

I'm still there. It's not terrible and it just needs a bit of patience in DF or PF.

Queue times suck, so nobody transfers. Nobody transfers, so the queue times suck. IDK, unless SE offers some kind of incentive to get people from Elemental to transfer over, we're kinda gonna just be stuck like this. Apparently, Materia IS growing, but I think it's mostly new players and it's growing VERY slowly. For me, I transferred from Kujata day one. There wasn't really anything keeping me there. I'll be staying where I am. At least I feel like I'm doing my part in keeping Materia somewhat alive and not just abandoning it like others have.

DC travel won't fix your issues, just pointing that out. NA won't just start running content on Materia if it's enabled, it would most likely be Materia players coming to NA. Like the SEA players, we don't really have any incentive to abandon ship and move to Materia when we have the population and better ping here. If anything, Materia might look something similar to Dynamis where people use it for housing but exist entirely on other DCs.

exactly no one will come people will just go somewhere else to que

OCE is fine regardless,the community will get bigger people just cant expect it to be as established as other DC so quickly

[Poporito_Popoto]

It's been a year since it's launch but there's been nothing mentioned on it,
Every OCE world is plagued by hackers. (Go to any OCE world and do a playersearch for lvl 1-5 in Limsa.)
Reports don't seem to ever get responses.
The entire DC seems to be doomed.

It was the same with other servers when they went live, but the past expansions boost the numbers up. I'm sure once the new one drops the server will fill with new people.

They should just connect it to NA. Even if people only use it do things like retainers,housing etc at least they can get stuff done at any hour and not struggle. Both datacenters speak english so unlike the JP datacenter that wants english speakers gone we would welcome them with open arms.

Do not connect OCE to NA, I don't want to have 500 ping to the server or have to do PF and and DF with people who have 500 ping regularly. The game breaks at high latency.

Aye I think if they were gonna connect to any temporarily it would be JP servers?

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.
