New data centers

[Zumi]

They adding a new data center for the NA and EU and will reshuffle the old worlds.

But with the redistribution of worlds that will mean I won't be able to play with certain friends anymore if our worlds are not on the same data center.

Please don’t shift Midgardsormr to the new DC.

Please dont separate balmung and mateus.
It will absolutely shatter my static and friend group D:

On that topic, would it bother you if everyone affected was offered a free world transfer?

Yeah, because we have friends that aren't in the static that have friends on our home servers, and they have friends, and so on. Either way people are going to have to be abandoned if we go that route.
My FC is pretty much made up of transfers to balmung, and saying "lol jk you wasted your money" freaking sucks
Not to mention that most of us have houses that we won in the housing wars that we'd have to give up.
Being uprooted is not a solution to SE's poor foresight when it comes to server demands.

It was going to have to happen. If they are adding an east coast datacenter, there's no way to prevent a split.

When did they say they were adding an east coast datacenter?

I’ll have to find a new static if they split Balmung and Cactuar... Pretty worried about this to be honest, because I’ve finally found a static that I really like and get along well with.

That’s out of the question for anyone who doesn’t want to lose their housing on their home server, or who don’t want to lose their other friends from their home server. For me, a transfer is out of the question because I’d lose contact with my friends that got me started in this game and I would lose my housing...

I know some people on Balmung on my friend list and if Sargatanas and Balmung end up in different data centers will no longer be able to play with them.

Balmung, Mateus and Gilgamesh all being on the same DC is one of the reasons they are likely doing this.
