EU Data Center (Chaos)

[Yaichiro]

To add on to the subject, just some general information on characters on each server:

Chaos Data Center: (http://xivsoul.com/)

Cerberus 115468
Lich 141643
Moogle 131887
Odin 131995
Phoenix 136377
Ragnarok 116069
Shiva 131737
Zodiark 107511

Now if you compare it with the NA data center its hilarious how the EU servers are way way way way way more filled up with people. Lets not even compare it to the JP data center, because even NA beats it.
This only concludes that the EU servers are the most populated servers. No argument against it here.

So EU data center has the most players, yet it has the least servers? Makes any sense? I dont think so.
Therefore EU needs more servers.

This is way too misleading. You're mixing between created characters and characters that are active. I usually search for people to join my FC (Yes I check all lvls) and during the prime time in Odin I can give you a rough estimation of 5 to 7 thousands players online and I am quite generous with this estimation.

+100 if I could. Our FC just purged a boatload of accounts that had been idle for something like 14+ months.

Without statistics on active accounts, the data is trivial at best. Database servers can manage hundreds of thousands of connections...the hardware is quite robust at the end point. The issues come from networking problems moreso then at the server level. As in routing and throughput constraints between the client and server. There will likely be much tweaking to get the concurrent connections where they need to be, and if a lot of people transfer away from Chaos because of the added latency from crossing the pond, it will free up more resources for the EU region as well.

How about waiting to see just how things pan out first?
