OCE data centre appreciation

[Nestama]

I'm going to stay put on Balmung, as I have too many roots down here to move to an Aussie server (having an American boyfriend kind of also cements that for me).

Same feelings for me, though on Primal. Can't just go "byyyyyyyyye" to all the friends I've made.
At least Data Centre travel will let me experience low ping gum (and hopefully DF/PF. Can't recall if they said we could do that).

I'm sure this is an investment for their future, maybe 3 years down the line these servers will have a good population.

More like two weeks or less.

YoshiP I think has understated the OCE population spread over NA, EU and JP datacentres. Remember too that Oceania is a REGION, comprising dozens of nations. I would imagine some of the SG population will be looking to move as well.

The future is indeed bright.

Happy for you guys, I remember when I swapped from an NA server to an EU one I felt like I was Neo for a few weeks. Dodging stuff was so so much easier and double weaving is the future I tell ya.

I'm playing in SG and I don't think the ping will change, if not it will be worse. Right now JP data center is good for SEA players. The sad thing is we are in Tonberry and currently it is the unofficial ENG server in JP data center. We are afraid that once the OCE DC is up, Elemental data center will be not ENG player friendly anymore and if we decide to move to OCE, how sure are we that lag is better, how about our FC houses, personal houses? How about the community and the economy? A lot of questions.

Hopefully it won't affect any DC moving forward. I'm glad that there is this DC but it came to late IMO. If PF and DF can be Inter-DC then it does not matter. Until that is done there is still doubts on our end.

With data center travels coming, I am wondering how many will do as much as they can on the new DC, and whatever else on their home server, versus, completely moving to the new DC. Hopefully SE will allow some free transfers to this brand new DC.

I am not in Oceania. This does not impact me. Instead, I am thrilled on behalf of the folks I've encountered who are from those areas, who will now have the opportunity to play with a lot less pain and hassle.

It's long overdue, and I hope it helps out our friends in the land down under and in Indonesia to not suffer when playing.

[Sotaris]

There are some Oceania people who will have some hard decisions to make. Transferring for better ping will be great for them, but they'd have to give up their FCs, housing, etc... I'm not sure I could do it.

New data center. All ward and plots will be up for grabs. FC, yeah I can see that be an issue for some.

Going to be interesting to see how this impacts Tonberry and Kujata! Has some very supremely dedicated players. Hope they can convince enough of their fellows to move to greener pastures... maybe there will be some kind of offer for relocating, since a lot of people will be leaving the communities they've joined.

Loads of houses available.
