About dedicated European data center

Bump , developer please answer us

Both the EU datacenter and the DX11 client are planned to be released with the Heavensward release. The EU datacenter is not only a possibility. They stated it's coming though they never gave an actual release date. SE doesn't like to give solid release dates except if they are absolutely sure about the date. I expect to hear more about those 2 things in the coming period.

That's a strong statement, any chance of a link to where that was said (server wise, we know about DX11)? I'd like to keep it on file just for reference. =)

I just hope that when the new EU server centre launches they move the current EU Worlds onto it, and don't just create new worlds. I like Moogle and don't really want to leave, I just want a better connection!

Of course they will move them. For SE to 'transfer' the realms it's just a case of copying the data and sending it over the internet. The hardware will be new.


I've kept my chars to the one datacentre just in case. I suspect, or rather hope, they would offer transfers to and from the NA/EU datacentre for free when it happens for a short time.

Please clear this up in Producer LIVE Party XX , Please Yoshi-P sama

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if the long HW maintenance of 24 hours is also including moving the EU datacenters to the EU. I would really like to be able to cast my mudras as fast as in the many presentation vids of ninja actions and play the class as it was meant to play. I mean, the reason mudras and ninjutsu have a .5s recast time is probably to 'fit' them in between the +/- 2s (with a.spd buff) of our global cooldown of our actions, right? :P:P:P

SE said that the EU data centre will be there in 2015, not during release of HW.

we are not getting Eu datacenter at launch of 3.0, they stated the worlds that get copied will be offline for 3 days. While the copy is being done, so expect to play Heavensward with horrendous connection. And sometime later this year we get a physical Eu datacenter. And as far as more information they have said that will come later. We can always hope that they will acctually drop one or two lines about it during the live letter today, but i doubt it.

I want them to put a server in Oceanic region. There are many third-world countries around here where it would be cheap to locate the data centre. Indonesia would be the best I think. Australia and New Zealand players would have a great connection. For Europe they could locate it in Eastern Europe to save money. MMO is the most profitable segment of the gaming market. This game as very popular.
