Aether Data Center Down

[Mihana]

I'm still thinking if you move one of the heavily populated servers like Balmung or Gilgamesh to Primal this may help alleviate the strain. The problem outlined even states that the Aether data center is having problems with connections because of these two worlds. Well that's because you've got two of the most packed NA worlds using the same data center. Offering free transfers off these two won't particularly solve anything especially if they don't want to leave their server. The problem lies in that you've got two huge servers full of players trying to log in simultaneously in addition to the lesser populated servers and all into the same data center. More often than not I have immediate issues trying to connect to the data center than sitting in queue waiting to get into my world. It errors out before I even get to the world select screen.

By the way for the few still fussing about RPers for whatever reason, Balmung (Formerly known as Besaid and Fabul before the merge.) had been chosen at the launch of FFXIV as the unofficial RP server. You don't HAVE to be a RPer of course by any means but saying a majority of the population wasn't RP players would be a lie.
