Please merge the EU DataCenters together

[ZellosWilder]

The playerbase specifically interested in The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate) is already super low but having the EU DC split into Chaos and Light makes it even worse, finding players to do TEA with on EU especially on the Light DC is terrible.

Even if you find a player with a job that you are looking for there are far too many players on EU that are only FR or only DE speaking players that you can't even play with due to the language barrier reducing the player base even more.

I don't even understand why it was split in the first place EU has the smallest amount of players compared to NA/JP makes no sense to split the playerbase like they have done.

Dev team please consider merging the DC back together thank you.

Please no.

It's going to be even worse a few weeks after 5.18 - even nowadays we struggle to find people at peak hours; pf is a ghost town.

Dividing EU into two was the stupidiest thing they have did.

We were small and now we are even smaller, i cant pvp outside 2 pm - 8 pm, and any other duty finder for dps is at least 30 minutes wait in peak hours and no duty at all out of peak hours.

I am getting discouraged to play this game more and more, it feels like a glamour sims mmorpg without anything to do.

It is worse than it was in stormblood.

Was there a real life of PvP in this game ever?

Rofl.

During peak hours I wait as DPS between instant invite for copied factory up to 10 minutes for 4 man dungeons.

I do both to lvl, and my guess is you are problably playing one dungeon a day, i am lvling my dps right now and i have wasted at least 4 hours today for queues only.

No.. I left Chaos for a reason and would rather not be paired with it ever again.

Because you had few bad experiences that means we all should have hours long queues for everything?

Our DC are a lot smaller than any DC out there, there are only 6 servers per 1 DC where Japanese has 10 and US has 8, it is crystal clear EU is being keept smaller for no reason right now, at least they should let us share the same queue.

Whether it actually happens remains to be seen, though there was an interview where Yoshi-P claimed that he wanted to allow for cross datacentre world visit at some point in the future. I suspect it'll be a while until it happens, though.

In regards to high end content, there's only a small portion of people into doing it in the first place and many would love the opportunity to attempt it but find themselves excluded simply because they haven't done it already. I suspect if more raiders trained new blood there would be more people engaging in high end content and more of an incentive for the development team to add more of it in the future.

No this is not the point, the point is there is not enough people for duties at all not only raids. The game is literally unplayable after 10 pm and before 2 pm.

I'm not sure how long you're waiting or even how much time you have to play, but I leveled RDM and DNC to 80 all on Spriggan, and I didn't wait no longer than 15min max..

This is also another one those "everyone wanted this, got it and months later they don't want it anymore."
