4 to 5 days maintenance

Isn't the whole point of the data centres that they are separate server clusters? This would mean they are entirely independent of each other. Considering that the Chaos data centre has crashed in the past with no impact at all on the others I would say with certainty that they are fully capable of shutting down just the EU servers for this procedure.

Personally I won't mind being forced to take a break. It'll be worth it.

I wonder what would happen to us north American players that play on the EU servers. Such as me I play on moogle when the EU servers get transferred to the EU data center will I have to server transfer. If so what would happen to the 2 houses my husband bought that also plays on moogle. I really hope that SE won't make me transfer servers though especially since all my friends that I have met on this game play on moogle.

Nobody will get forced to transfer. Everything will get copied 1:1

You won't be forced to transfer, but if you don't, you will have to suffer the delay us EU players have been suffering this whole time.

Ever heard of oceanic servers? I'm sorry but they shouldn't be selling there game in a country if they can't even provide a good service. Look at nosgoth, they managed to put oceanic server in for that game and it's tiny compared to ffxiv! Seems abit silly that we have to play on one server in hopes of finding people that talk English >__> not to mention that character creation is always full on toneberry..

Not even that. I'm saying that they shouldn't have to play on servers designed for use by Japanese speaking players because SE can't stick the NA servers(since most games direct AU to NA servers because English) in a location that's more favorable.

Servers are in Montreal because of the European group. Move them and there's no reason to keep the NA servers in that unstable network dive. The latency from AU to Cali >> AU to east coast.

For full disclosure, I'm American and have Aussie friends. Lots of them. I actually play on EU times though.

I like the people who act like the 4-5 days thing is Square giving the middle finger to the west. Like, no? Transferring servers properly can take a long damn time
