[Data Center USA] Ping increased. Report your changes here.

If se decides to have 2 data centers, 1 on east coast, and another on west coast, how is it going to work though? Which worlds will be in data center 1 or 2? It will still be the same problem in the end though? Like say Gilgamesh on east coast, and Balmung on west coast, what is going to happen to the people who live on the east and west but on those worlds?

I imagine they will allow transfers one time between those worlds with a "go back" option if the move doesn't work out.

Messy but hey it's already like that following this.

Except "why should I leave my friends and fc behind when it wasn't MY choice to be moved to such and such coast" or "why did they move MY server and not that one"

So.....exactly like what EU players have been subject too?.....They can either leave their friends for better ping, or stay with worse ping....

This is my dilemma atm.

I'm sitting at 200ms on Byrn coming from the UK, compared to 35ms on Odin, and all the friends I started the game to play with are on Byrn. I'd love the best of both worlds, being able to stay at a speedy home and be able to guest into another world to see my friends and vice versa, but sadly FFXIV's world structure isn't going to work like that.

Sucky situation and it makes me long for Guild Wars 1's setup.

They can split the worlds 50/50 and give notice some months prior and enable free transfers for everyone in NA. You can decide with your friends and FCs where to go or stay. But there will be again ppl who will whine like always.
I don't see it happening anytime soon. They already spent money to open the new one. Can't see how they will budget one more right now. Maybe when 5.0 comes.
