Data Centers? (Yes or No Poll)

Well this blows, will I be able to move to different data centers with ease?

I have friends from all corners of the world I can't just "Pick" a side to play on.

Yeah.. that's the only "downfall" but if this comes to pass.. everyone will just have to pick a side and get use to it.. but its hard to tell right now. Won't know for certain till we start playing Alpha/beta.

data centers are places where servers are housed. What this means is you have servers that are physically located in Japan, somewhere in the US, and somewhere in europe- with the purpose of this being that ping times can be reduced for everyone. Anybody can still play on any of these servers regardless of which data center they're housed in. When ARR releases, you'll be able to create at least 1 character on every server (legacy and ppl who pay more can create 8 on each server). Because of this, it won't be that difficult to at least keep in touch with people that end up going to different servers.

Supposedly, they will be having server transfers and they'll be relatively easy to do, as well.

But unless something changes, as far as I know, all current players will remain on their current servers (housed in Japan).
