Important Information Regarding North American Data Center Relocation

[finalmattasy]

I think it's very important that the servers be moved to Saskatchewan. Or wherever I happen to be living.

I like the picture of all the pretty wires and computery things. There seems to be room for a bed and a ps4 in there.. what's rent?

The servers are on the east coast now - like around Quebec?

Montreal they are currently at.

It really doesn't matter if SE tells the players where the server is or not, they will most likely find out within a few hours of it going live lol. And if the latency is really going to increase even further if you are further away from the datacentre, then SE really needs to get their priorities straight.

So if NA servers are down for a max of 48 hours, we are only getting a compensation for 1 day? Come on SE you can do better then this! If we can't play for 48 hours then you should give us 2 days compensation. There is 24 hours in a day. Learn to do your math. We all pay a subscription to this game, so I feel that we should get 2 days compensation.

Don't get greedy. EU players got nothing.

They know their math. They could give zero compensation for a relocation like this.

Instead since this is outside a normal scope of 24hrs, they are compensating for 1 day.

Aussies have been getting the short end of the stick for a long time. Our SE store only has digital items for purchase, for one.

And if we can know BEFORE the move, at least we can transfer our characters to the Japanese DCs and make friends there as soon as possible.

Fantastic news. Just hope people from UK don't suffer the most with this ping thing

EU players did get compensation:

In order to compensate players inconvenienced by this extended maintenance, those who meet the following requirements will have their subscriptions extended by the number of days required for maintenance:

• Service accounts containing characters on the Worlds within the Chaos data center (Cerberus / Lich / Moogle / Odin / Phoenix / Ragnarok / Shiva / Zodiark) before Friday, September 18, 2015 at 9:00 (GMT).
• Service accounts with an active subscription.

But the whole 48 hours thing is a MAXIMUM, not necessarily taking 24 hours extra.

I'm already on a jp server, i would just love to be on english speaking server with actual decent latency. I currently get around 225 or so latency with wtfast. If that is going to get worse, then i dont think i am even going to bother touching the US servers anymore lol.
