Unlock Aether NOW

OP claimed in another thread that Europe has 2 Datacenters because of Brexit, so this is most definitely bait.

I mean we do have two but not because of UK and their Brexit lol, would be funny if their actions would dictate SE data center plans in Europe though.

Keep Aether locked forever!

This is how you kill the game. With no new players joining, Aether will slowly die.

[Venandi]

Oh shit here we go again
Pretty hilarious they think SE buy their server hardware on amazon. I'm sure they have their own vendors to go to.

Those vendors use the same shipping services as Amazon. It makes no difference whether you buy it on Walmart, Target, or Amazon. If they're that inflexible they need to be more flexible.

Then explain why they announced a new EU datacenter in 2019, right when Brexit started? UK was expected to leave EU in 2019, it just got delayed because of coronavirus.

Probably because they don't want us in another situation like before they made Crystal where our data center was constantly crashing. Most of our servers have been Congested for a while anyway.

If they buy new servers, it wouldn't be crashing. There's no silicon shortage if you can find hundreds of servers on Amazon.

Instead of buying new servers why is the game punishing players by locking up the servers? All of Aether is now congested, which means no one can make new characters on or even transfer to Aether.

The players have given you so much money. Why don't you just buy new servers? Silicon shortage is an excuse when you can easily find a lot of servers on Amazon:

All you need to do is to buy the servers and ship it to the data center then connect them to a power supply. Seriously how hard is that? Instead we're punished as players. We only need 4 or 5 more servers to alleviate the congestion. That's like $3000 including shipping. The game makes like millions of dollars. This is a drop in the ocean. We need to demand them to buy new servers on Amazon and unlock Aether NOW.

I suggest you read this to get some actual understanding of the situation.

Getting new servers is not all that easy right now - and obviously they can't buy just any old hardware, it has to be something with the right specifications whatever they are. And I think you seriously underestimate what they cost.
Oh, and just adding new servers to a data centre can't be done beyond a certain point, because all the worlds in a given datacentre share instance servers which handle all the instanced group content. They can only handle so many players at a time.

I'd think you would want to try a different DC where you aren't on everyone's blacklist list.

[EverQuest]

Yes this is a troll thread. Just lock it.

Wows servers cost are estimated years ago to be 120,000+ a day so adjusting for times probably closer to 180k+ I'd imagine ff14 has a similar expense. This guy wants them to just amazon servers and throw them in..

Doesn't work that way.

What makes you think those servers are in any way suitable? Besides, when buying servers from something like this you buy from a reliable vendor. Not from Amazon.
