reconsider EU DC split

[Deithwen]

I just wanna share this graph, updated with active accounts. I think it speaks for itself :



EU datacenters will be significally lower in population than their NA and Japan counterparts.

And this is just an estimation, what because people will migrate, especially raiders, who I assume will all move to Chaos, leaving one DC devoided of the raiding scene.

This needs to be considered by the Dev team.

There is no way this will work, as they will end up facing the same problems as before (heavy load on Chaos), but also creating new ones (Light devoided of competitive scene).

That is right. But before the split it still has the highest population of all datacenters.

I thin there is a reason this will be done not far away from the expansion (also the 2 planned servers for EU).

I think Chaos had the most issues during the launch of Stormblood because of this and a result could be the most amount of quitting players during the launch, compared to US and JP. So the plan to split and add 2 servers on top could be a preparation to do it better for the launch of Shadowbringers.

I thought Chaos had less issues during the launch of stormblood than some of the American ones
