Welcome back, dude. Long time no see.Anyone else wary at the upcoming cloud datacentre? If not, you should be.
The ramifications of this datacentre fragmentation experiment are terrifying and could be the death knell of FF14 raiding forever.
Most FF14 players are Californian or west-coast based, which is naturally closer to the motherland (Japan) and therefore should be the centre for FF14 related activity in North America.
As it currently stands, the Californian servers work great. Everybody has good ping, and everybody is together, and able to raid together as they see fit.
Creating a new datacenter on the east coast will ruin this joyful cooperation.
You will have people on the east coast in search of better ping, so they will not raid on the western servers. Due to population differences, there will be a large decrease in western raiders and the raid scene on the west will have fallen.
If western raiders do want to keep raiding, they will be forced to deal with bad ping to US East servers. This is not something we normally deal with, so it will cause major problems within both communities.
Diversity is very important, and having segregated raiding groups will create drama and worry.
Nald'Thal says we must remain In the Balance, but this fragmentation is not balanced at all.
I understand that Hydaelyn sundered the star so we could survive, but I don't think this is what she would have wanted.
The Legends of the Titanmen lives on, a shining example of the power of compassion and the ability of people to make a difference in the world. A reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope, as long as there are heroes like the Titanmen who dare to do good deeds in Eorzea.
The US has a fairly poor networking infrastructure TBH as people close to a data center can experience worse lag/ping/stability issues than ppl connecting to it from the other side of the country.
Raiding will continue because players want to raid and they'll deal with small inconveniences.
No one needs to feel like it is d(h)oomed.
Oh look, a Californian who thinks the world revolves around California. Its been almost ten whole minutes since I've seen one of those.
The only problem I can see, is if they can knock out third party tools, which would be good, if anything.
