Aether Data Center Down

[Saccharin]

There's two options I see to this:

1.) Split Aether into two smaller data centers. Put Balmung and Gilgamesh on separate data centers to relieve the congestion.
2.) Move either Gilgamesh or Balmung to the the other existing NA data center.

This was predicted, the solution is not to spilt them but to lock them for a long time and offer free transfers off. They individually are too big. Large servers suck the life out of other servers leading to a lack of players.

My question is why did you put both Balmung and Gilgamesh on the same data center?

They are both legacy servers and other data centres have more than one legacy server but the players decided that they wanted to flock to those two. SE can only be blamed for not keeping them locked and the lack of free transfers.
