Aussie Server

[Seraphor]

Yeah it's definitely going to be harder but logging out switching dc's and logging back in isn't that big a deal I do that continually with my alts. I belong to numerous discords for hunts and I'll jump a DC frequently when I'm in capping mode for my alts. It really doesn't take that much time. I have no idea what the names should be though and how they might reshuffle or perhaps that isn't going to happen a reshuffle that is. Light and Chaos have 6 servers each which isn't a lot compared to other data centers.

Are there any other servers that are regarded as a de facto home for Oceania players? Only Tonberry and Kujata come to mind for me, both on Elemental, so if they moved it might require a bit of a reshuffle of the JP servers, which would displace even more people.

I really don't know. Juggling servers in North America didn't affect people other than being stuck on another DC. Balmung and Mateus for example were part of Aether before the move to Crystal. Be potentially upsetting to those in the EU or NA or possibly even Japan to simply be moved to another DC cause it will displace them from friends they currently have.

Data Center travel too will have more restrictions so that may affect what people can do with friends if they're forced to have to DC travel to see them.

Japan is probably the closest to Australia so yeah maybe they'll move some Japan servers there to fill out the new server. Seems to me they are going to need to make a few new ones but also have some which are already populated.

It's not only JP there, the whole lot of Asia population are in Tonberry as well.

I really doubt they'll move any servers. That wouldn't be very good for non-Oceanic players on those servers, especially those with free companies or houses. It's more likely they'll offer free transfers to new servers.

There was a time when EU didn't have any servers, and the ones they moved to the EU were formerly NA servers.

Ultimately it depends on how many Oceanic players are on those servers, and how many will be moving.
If it's 50%, they could go either way.
Tonberry is by far the largest server in JP, with 77k (12k active) characters, with the next largest having just 50k (9k). It would not surprise me at all if it has a majority of Oceanic players.

Make it happen SE!

How is Echidna non-fitting?

Echidna would be a non-fitting name - not in Eorzia... and it's not an Aussie server per se, but Oceanic ANZ+more...

Again you haven't explained why.
Echidna is the final boss of Void Ark. We have servers Diabolos, Atomos, and other minor bosses like Siren, Cerberus, etc.
Echidna's are also an animal native to Oceania.

Echidna is the final boss of Void Ark.

OK, I didnt know that, my apologies I thought the suggestion was based on a spikey animal on the 5c piece.

Still want Enkidu!

I do get the feeling it will be a big land rush!

I saw Echinda... so

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them.
The best of them, tougher than leather.
You can call me Knuckles. Unlike Sonic, I don't chuckle.
I'd rather flex my muscles.
I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell.
I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail.
Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath.
First test, feel the right, than the worst's left.
