New data centers

The issue with that is housing. You may be forced to give up your house because half your static is on another server. And in this game, getting another will be almost impossible.

Right. If they'd worked on instanced housing long before this, then this wouldn't be a huge issue. Maybe they'll surprise everyone and implement that as well.

I was just talking about that with a friend in Discord. This would be the perfect time to abandon the archaic ward system that just isn't working. Sadly, we know they aren't going to.

I could actually see this data center thing all working better with world visit, free transfers and instanced housing. As it stands right now, though, it's a hard sell any way you look at it. Definitely going to shake things up.

On a side note... The mention of farms makes me hopeful they may have looked into FFXI's instanced island feature. (Wishful thinking.)
