reconsider EU DC split

[ElainaMason]

Well, I do understand where the split is coming from, most of you only see what will happen now, like less players, longer ques splitting of PVE and PVP. Yes it is true it will happen. But the split is not because we need it now. It's because they will need it for new Expansion and the sea of new people who will start playing the game. The current Datacenter/Severs won't be able to handle that load. It's also easier to implement it now, so that when Shadowbringers gets released there won't be that many issues for players. Doing it early on is a measurement in case something goes wrong and they have to time to fix. Do you all want the severs to be down during new expansion, so that they can fix it.

Also people complaining about PF, while yes it will have Less PF's, but the PF's will be filled much faster. If you look at current PF most end up hours waiting for that 1 or 2 players to join.

I am mean I am not all too happy either, since 7/8 of my Raid is in Cerberus. I have friends on Ragnarok and Moogle and yes I won't be able to play with them. But I can see why they are doing it.

And how long does it work fine after new expansion?
Maybe some months and then PFs are dead especially if you wanna do something else than the newest stuff or if you dont do the newest stuff with a static or not at prime time in the evening.

Because everyone is looking at the situation now, there will be a flux of increased NEW PLAYERS with expansion. Not just returning players.

Maybe that could happen. But what will happen if it is not like that? Is SE really expecting that there will sooooo many new players in EU?
