"Just wait until *insert next patch*!"

I am on Kujata and I am seeing people coming back from OCE every single day. You may call it anecdotal, I was on Zurvan and Ravana...so yes I do know.

People refused to leave their servers, their houses, their FCs, their statics, their friends. Until such time as SE can get SEA aboard, can arrange regional data centre travel, OCE will remain isolated..with all the problems that come with it.

I can confirm that people are leaving OCE constantly, even on NA servers there are refugee's returning at a steady rate.
On visits to my old FC on Ravana, nearly every single member of the FC is burned out or has taken long breaks from the game.

I still jump on to play my alt now and then, the ping is nice, but the wait times and lack of players actually doing something other than afking in a town hub, is enough to remind me to never transfer my main back to Materia.

For any proof, the Census data was release 3 days ago.


Materia is losing more players than it is gaining. Full stop, there is no argument for it.

The question has to be asked time and time again, At what point will Materia get data center travel. Without it, it is not worth the time investment playing there.
