    That sucks, i can feel your (game)pain :/ I cant imagine playing like this... I am used to have average pings between 30 and 60 to most game servers, FFXIV is the highest ping for me right now with lots of connection issues atm. My upload goes down to 0.0-0.2Mbits these days because of what ever reason... Waiting for my ISP technician to fix it. I hope you'll have a better game experience with that move even though i am really concered about my connection lol

    Don't ever expect it. The game just doesn't have the player base to support it - even WoW doesn't truely have a large enough player base for an Aussie server. Their AU and NA servers are connected, if the party leader is in NA you will be on a NA server, and vice versa. I'd argue latency is more important here due to how the game works. Seeing NA players dragged into 220ms+ after having played at half of that? Would not go well.

    The player base doesn't exist because there's no suitable servers.

    Obviously there wouldn't be cross-play with NA players, that would be silly. Just give us our own contained server.

    AU has one of the worst internet infrastructures in the developed world and I honestly feel bad as its not AU players fault.

    The reality is Datacenters are by no means cheap. If the demand isn't there, its a huge financial loss. Many companies do not want to take that big of a risk.

    There is also the other side to weigh in. You do not want to degrade the majority playerbase inside the footprint of your DC aka North America as they are your primary source of revenue.

    I just hope SE really did learn from their 1st outside of JP experience. Did the research not only Geographically, but also a modern backbone hub location with multiple branches suitable for demand, within the latency window for the majority, and future expansion. All I can ask for.

    Yeah, if you're in Europe and they move the data center to the west coast (which seems unfortunately likely), then you're looking at borderline playable at best, complete garbage at worse. Basically East Coast US becomes the new Europe players, Europe players start playing from the moon.

    Which is why moving it to the west coast would be such a hilariously awful idea that I can't imagine why they'd do it, but it's also the only real reason they'd have to give us zero information about the location they're moving it to. Can't hurt those Stormblood sales!

    West Europe!

    More seriously, the point is that if that's a problem for west coast players, then the obvious solution is to move the data center somewhere in the middle, not just flip which coast gets screwed. Then at least east coast and west coast are roughly equal, and the people who live in the middle get an overall ping time reduction. Other games figured out years ago that it's probably in their best interests to try and provide as even an experience to their playerbase as possible rather than heavily slanting to one area geographically.

    That's what makes the "we can't tell you anything but that it's somewhere on the north american continent" so infuriating. It just leads to EVERYONE feeling like they're going to get screwed instead of only the people who are actually getting screwed.
