Only thing that bothers me about them choosing Sacramento, CA, is that when California inevitably drops off into the pacific from an earthquake, there goes the Servers.

What bothers me is everything:
Location you are going to screw up international players, Server Cost since California ain't cheap and to make it even worst if some natural disaster hits the place, 2 weeks without FFXIV just like happened with FFXI.

Native Californian must now chip in - Sacramento is on the 'safe' side of the seismically active fault zone that extends from the San Francisco Bay southwards towards Baja California (check a map, Sac is Northeasterly from SF). It's a very attractive location for IT infrastructure since it's relatively close to the major technology industry hub in Silicon Valley, yet far enough removed that a major seismic event won't disrupt operations. Great place for an internet services company to park their hardware and not have to worry about an earthquake knocking all your shit over.

Has anyone considered just waiting to see if it has any real impact on you before FREAKING OUT?

This is the internet. No one has time to wait for anything, ever.

The majority of people aren't freaking out, relative to things that people have freaked out about in FFXIV/MMOs in general. The people freaking out more looks like the people who are claiming others are freaking out.

You make too much common sense. Please stop with that, it is not wanted here. People want to jump to conclusions and call it the end of the world before seeing if it is or not.

That makes sense, no? I mean, you can't call anything an end of the world after it happens, (or doesn't happen) so best get out you panic now if you're really into panicking. ^^

Staying calm is boring. Freaking out in forums during server downtime gives you something to do. Popcorns and F5 ftw.
