No one cautiously optimistic about the East Coast data center?

For some reason it almost reads like everyone has the impression that it'll be permanent, or the concept that we will suddenly be shipped down river to the East Coast NA.

Just a Cloud Server Test that is new characters only, that'll get wiped as soon as the test ends.

As for its purpose, couldn't tell you.
Feels like Emergency Servers incase of overflood/load. Except they're testing before hand where it won't affect long standing character data.

The server will only be up from 11/21-11/27 and you'll have to create new characters, which will have access to all jobs, level jumping and story skipping potions, and 50 million gil. And while its going to be focused on the US's East Coast, people from every region are encouraged to join to help stress-test it. *✲ﾟ*(❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*
I wonder if its going to only be limited to one character per account and/or if data-center travel will be locked, otherwise, people are going to make a bunch of characters to get that 50 million. (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))

Not sure if people will be limited to a single character but I am sure it will be limited to the test environment and there will be no DC travel (and no transferring that 50 mil to another character).
