About dedicated European data center

[t-a-l-a-n-m-e-r-c-e-r]

The real problem is not server location, but how they do position checks in this game. Even with a EU data center, there will always be someone with less than ideal latency.
This game needs more intelligent client <-> server position checks.

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.

Location is just one of the deciding factors there's also internet infrastructure too.

Found an interview of some german dude who was invited to the recent Europe Media Tour, talking about the EU data center (latest info on the topic that I know of):

- SE working on moving servers to Europe at the moment
- Downtime of the servers that be moved is 2 - 3 days
- No changes to existing servers planned cause data is simply being copied
- At the moment, SE is buying server equipment
- No solid date yet, but it will "most likely" be in 2015

That's what I've read too, I was wondering about servers being announced being in France tho (not that I'd complain, as I'm french and I'd love the lowest ping if possible =) )

I wonder how it will work.
I assume that they will transfer the chaos datacenter to the eu servers?

I mean so we dont need to make a transfer, because then they would have to find a way to transfer our house, fc and all of our gil too.

I mean my servers name is "lich (eu)" so it has to be moved to an eu server when ready right?
