Would you like the proof? Here we go. You ready? Got your facts straight? Because I know I do.

Oh my God, I think I'm gonna post yet another article about it... I can't control myself! OH GOD!

Is this enough of those facts for you to straighten out?

The problem is, they wanted the servers in by 5.4 Patch - that didn't happen unfortunately. Personally, I believe we won't see them until 6.0 when Ishgard housing is implemented.
WOW, I had no idea someone could have such terrible reading skills, but let me guide you through this.

Read this subtitle very slowly: Improving Data Centers to Allow for Additional Plots

Now read the following: all data centers will require additional servers

Do you understand now? Contrary to your initial presumption and as clearly written, they are adding servers to every DC. They aren't specifically installing more hardware for housing purposes, it's to increase the amount of worlds available to players. If it was specifically meant for housing and housing alone, they wouldn't be talking about adding more servers to the Data Centers, they would talk about adding more wards.

In case you haven't noticed by now, they have added new servers at the release of the past 2 expansions. Do you see the pattern?
