NA server is moving

[RukiaFae]

Do you think with the server upgrades we will eventually get more quality of life and character customization changes?

Fantastic news!

Just saw the live stream moving the servers and upgrading them. This is great this will probably fix the level 3 lag that can happen at prime time. There was a lot of US players who had issues with the routing to Canada. Maybe they will move them somewhere in the central US, maybe like Texas.

I have multiple guild members who live fifteen minutes from the servers who report heavy spikes and latency issues. If it was just bad datacenter or Level3, it wouldn't be so bad. But both at once...

Given that they only announced the NA Server moving and upgrading, I'm going to say, not until all the other servers receive upgrades. I can't see them implementing QoL changes and more customization options unless they could do so across the board.

Great news for NA players.

A bit off topic, but do you guys think this was payed by Mog Station profits like the EU data center supposedly was?

thinking 200 ms or 250 ms is good....
200-300 ms is good only if your are talking about us to japan or Australia, my friend always complains about that and how the server response was a lot faster and better in ffxi then ffxiv, lol. level 3 limitations i suppose....

I am glad they are being moved and upgraded, badly needed

I don't live in neither of those regions.

I just hope that they'll think of us so we don't have to deal with lag spikes like in WoW, especially their instance servers.

If it can get us away from level 3 I will be glad for the change.

There's been so many threads I've read where people were trying to troubleshoot network issues and it kept coming up as a problem with the level 3 network...

Yoshi already said they weren't working on any new character customizations at the last fanfest, with the exception of shrugging at a butt slider.

QoL is a definite though.

Does not necessarily mean they are moving out of Montreal. SE gets a lot of tax incentives in Quebec. Some one with more knowledge could probably rule out if Montreal would have some where else they could move and still meet upgrade.

What would be optimal is having two one for each Data center a East Coast and West Coast one. The designating them NA east and NA west.

When the servers moved from Japan to Montreal, Canada I saw no benefit from the change and a con of less international players.. so actually having a pro (greedily for myself) would be nice lol. To also add appealingly is that it's both a move AND an upgrade~!
