Introducing New Worlds to the European Data Centers

[Ilisidi]

You can check whether Chocobon moves to Meteor or not. They released that info in the last live letter and the summaries are up on the Lodestone and forum.

And, yeah, EU is not empty and you don't start combating congestion when it has already occurred. You try to prevent it. I'm sure we would have had these worlds for Endwalker if the hardware had been available.

can we rename twintania to titania when they get added? a certain angry fairy will yell at us if we dont at least ask...

[hagare]

I do not know how the situation is on JP servers. But EU servers are ~50% more crowded than JP servers. EU-Shiva is full in the evening so you cannot create new characters.

And i guess, they want to avoid a second EW-situation with 7k-ish queues in the future.

just checked, and half of the world in all jpn data centers are unavailable for character creation.

Nah, they should rename it, or change the title of the character at least to Oberon, instead of continuing with this (deliberate) mix-up.

More importantly, i want to gather an army of beavers, then release them to purge Il Mheg. After all, if you get them all bored (or have one bored yet charismatic pixie), the eniter world and all its remaining inhabitants could conceivably perish in terror and confusion.

As I post this 7 hours later, every JP world is available for new character creation.

Character creation restrictions are impacted by population logged in during regional peak/off-peak hours. They're trying to keep higher loads somewhat evenly distributed if they can.

The April Lucky Bancho census had active NA population estimated at about 809k characters across 24 worlds (34k per world average).

Active EU population was estimated at 362k across 12 worlds (27k per world average).

Active JP population was estimated at 509k across 32 worlds (16k per world average).

(Hard to say how many actual players for each since there's no way to verify which characters are alts via the Lodestone API. Also, those numbers don't include characters with a highest job at level 60 or lower since there's no way to separate the free trial characters from characters on accounts with subscriptions. Free trial accounts may increase the numbers significantly.)

JP problem is not world congestion, in fact they're creating no new ones, but DC congestion, as they have the crazy number of 10 words per DC.
NA and EU, instead, apparently..

Anyway I love both names for new Chaos servers.

[Ilisidi]

Aren't the censuses only measuring how many people have finished Endwalker, which aren't necessarily active players.
