[Request] Merge Chaos and Light DC

[Verty]

Except this isn't Squares fault though, so there's nothing for them to solve.

Light cities are currently very overcrowded with <Travelers>.

If all the Chaos players on Light would travel back to Chaos this issue wouldn't exist. It's 100% player-made problem.

I don't even know how this can get posted in all seriousness and get likes but the XIV community never fails to surprise me.

Cross data center Duty Finder and Party Finder is pretty much a requirement. They said it'd take them some time though.

Yeah, though not sure what it would entail technically. As long as the cross DC remains within that region only for I have no desire to play with NA.

Are they wrong tho? The only 'fault' of SE is to allow DC hop, but it was purely Chaos players fault to not do clones of Light activities like LPDU and instead hope to light for these that caused more and more activities to move to Light by proxy.

Yes, region wide obviously. If we wanted to play in a DC of another part of the world, we'd have to world travel there, if allowed.

The problem is the login server. If you merge the DCs then it will become the bottleneck and you will have huge queues. That's the reason why there are data centers.

This is one of the reasons why I moved my main to Light, DC travel was too tedious.
Now that the game is bleeding players, a cross-datacenter DF is needed more than ever.

I think the reason is simply housing. The people on the low population servers usually stick around because they have housing, and SE currently can't cleanly port those from one server to another. Any recompense outside of simply a straight port of everything inside and outside to an identical district won't be enough for most of those players.
