4 to 5 days maintenance

[Moonleg]

It all depends on the exact infrastructure, of course.

If the NA and EU servers are "that bunch over there" then yeah, NA will have to at the very least get turned off for a while.

If the NA servers are the bunch on the left, and the EU servers are the bunch on the right, NA shouldn't necessarily be affected.

To the Americans that seem upset they might lose a day or two in the game because Europe gets a quality of life upgrade, though? Suck it up. We've dealt with latency that made a lot of boss fights harder than they should be since 2.0 went live, it's time we got the EU servers located on the proper continent.

Not our faults that SE decided to group you with us. No sense in advocating for us to "suck it up" as if we had some sort of say in the matter. Very childish.

We have a right to be upset, particularly if we get our servers taken down for as long as yours with no reimbursement. You are benefiting from the moving, NA players are not, but may still suffer.

NA will be brough down too for sure, not saying that for the full 5 days but don't be surprised if it takes atleast 3.
Do you realise they have to get rid of all the EU data? I don't think that something like this is possible without turning the servers down completely. There are so many items, so many data..

The majority of the downtime will be testing. Stability testing, integration testing, load balancing testing, etc.
I doubt the transfer of the data will take more than 2 days out of the 4-5 day maintenance.
So yeah, I wouldn't expect NA to be down longer than a day, but who knows...

more info will come, I am sure SE will tell us in more detail when that time come, no need to jump the gun

What EU datas on NA servers? There is not even a connection with DF between EU servers and NA servers. They are just in the same location and that was it.

They will shut down the EU servers, don't allow server transfer to or from EU servers, copy all the datas, fly them over to EU, upload the datas into the new servers, check if everything is alright, turn on the new servers and build down the old servers, while NA servers are still running the whole time.

And of couse giving every player with an EU SE account 5 free days and a free Fantasia ^^ /jk

Using a word like suffer in this discussion, now who is childish...
