Data Centers/World Locations Info from the LIVE Letter

[Deli]

hmm... as much as I don't like this idea like most of you guys, but I remember yesterday Bayohne posted the translation slides from the 25th anniversary:

I hope "Greater Freedom to Transfer Worlds" is like other "games" you can transfer server "daily" or something...

but even with that(transfer here and there)... it will be hard to make/keep friends...

if you enjoy your international server (with latency) : stay on this server? no?
Yoshida team give us choise

[Leoheart]

This isn't well said. If they're willing to leave you, then they aren't really your friends.

Are you seemingly so dull minded?
Did you even read what a lot of people have been saying?

Your friends have friends, that also have friends who also have friends, it isn't Rocket surgery.
Everyone has to now make the decision of who to go with and who to leave behind.

[Dragonheart]

The dev team could create battles not dependant on lag, like the excellent one versus Nael van Darnus, but once again they decide to split the community... because that's what's gonna happen with these regional data centers.

Oh god, more tank&spank / static fight cuz the lag latency will not make possible to do more Ifrit style fights?

No thanks. We are almost in 2013.

How could being on a world thats in a different region be any laggier than the current system? I don't see the big deal here. If you feel like you HAVE to move over a few milliseconds of data, then move, if not stay where you are.

God why can't people read.

YOU ALREADY HAVE THIS CHOICE. THE SERVERS ARE NOT LOCKED, YOU CAN STILL CHOOSE ANY OF THEM.

I already covered this, so please stop flaming me.

Even if there were no region servers, this would still happen whenever new servers added, or servers merge. Some people will choose to leave. Friends-of-friends-of-friends may become seperated, regardless of if we have regions or not. Fortunately for you, you can still communicate with those people by making another character on their server.

[Darshu]

This is an independent problem from labeled servers. We already had a server merge a while ago and many friends-of-friends chose to seperate. This is unavoidable, even just by adding / merging servers with no region label.

Yes, except the reason they split is different. Right now, adding servers would give no additional reason to move. You can EASILY keep the whole linkshell intact with server merging, just as it happened with my linkshell last time. But with the region choice, it is BOUND to break.

Where the fuck do you live that it's 2013 already?
(Yes I can play the semantics card too, 3 months isn't "almost".)

[Reika]
