Just wanting to give some feedback regarding the new datacentre and it's low population.

Currently, we are seeing massive queue times for things like Alliance roulette, story trials and more with this situation being especially dire for day time players outside of Australian prime time. Many of us have had to beg in Ravana's Limsa shout chat for people to please help us clear story instances. The Zodiark trial in particular has been a massive bottleneck as most players are alts getting their free 15 days and are still in the early expansions of the game.

PF for pug end game raiders is, predictably, not in a great state. We are seeing many people who have moved their mains across start to talk about how they are hoping to move back to their "home" servers in either JP or NA with their established raid scenes once the 90 day cool down on transfers is over.

The lure of better ping is not outweighing a dead raid scene.

Many of us were really hoping that the live letter today would at least mention OCE and put a little enthusiasm into encouraging people to join up there. At the moment the general sentiment is that the OCE servers were fan service to the Japanese to rid them of their gaijin issue, rather than provide a place for Oceanic raiders.

Cross region for OCE is the obvious fix and its disheartening to see OCE will remain isolated from the bigger communities.
