So, I wanted to see if I can get an answer to this question. Currently my FC sits on Mateus server. We are already seeing it become locked to new character creation at peek times. We are thinking about moving servers if needed.


So the question is this. Lets say right now on our current Data Center, the server capacity is like 20,000 players. Hit 18,000 or so starts to lock it. When we are shifted to the Crystal Data Center, will these caps rise? Will it stop the server from becoming locked in the future?



My worries is, inside our Multigaming community we used to have a FFXIV guild in 2013-2014. One of the issues was on Balmung, new people could not join the FC. In the end, we shut it down. We are trying to get FFXIV back into the fold as a guild again in 2018, and currently on Mateus but are starting to run into some of the same issues with character creation locks. So I am trying to find out if the new data centers will make this stop and ease my mind. Or do I need to move our guild to another less pop, less active RP server.
