    Data Centers? (Yes or No Poll)

    Hopefully this will clear up any questions you may have.
    I would like to cast a vote here, to see where we stand on these "Data Centers" and weather or not its a good idea to have them. Because, the way I read this Official post from Bayohne, I'm seeing it as You pick Data center closest to you, but You can only play with people within that Data Center.

    So my question to all of you here ( and to see where we all favor for):

    - Only one data center in Japan that everyone goes into, No segregation, but may experiences alot of lag for users that are far away.

    -Multiple Data Centers across the world, which a person can go to the closest data center, little to no lag at all, however There is a possibility of segregation.
    Do you want Data Centers?

    Data Centers if used as they're supposed to be (like XI), yes.

    Every other MMO can deal with non region locked data centers at various locations. Regional data centers is a huge win for 2.0 and all the XI trolls are trying to drag ARR back to the stone age.

    You complain about data centers segregating the community -- and yet all XI ever did was segregate the community based on content, level caps, what job you were, what sub job you did not have, time of updates, etc. The list continues endlessly because XI was poorly planned -- including the server infrastructure of XI.

    This is FANTASTIC news about data centers.

    This. FFXIV is supposed to be a 2010.. err 2013 game. And regional servers, data center or wheaver you want to call them,
    is one of the most important standard in the game, more than interface, jump etc. imho.

    If I could find it, I would post the picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger pointing westward with a giant "THIS!" captioned at the bottom.

    PS: Why are we complaining about data centers instead of speculating about important things like whether Musketeers will dual wield double-barreled guns?

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    People like to whine like this about other peoples posts.. but you dont have to respond to them, you dont have to read them.. your more then welcome to ignore them. If Elexia wants to compare everything to XI... why not? if you dont like it.. ignore it. OPTIONS! IMAGINE What yOU could do with THEM!!!!!!

    Just like how I have the option to respond to them. Crazy huh?

    I just don't get why someone would want so much ripped straight from FFXI when FFXI is a 10 year old game, that still has subs, and servers running, and continues to release content. FFXI's response times weren't even all that good, the difference was that the game was built around those limitations. Which ultimately led to very static encounters. But this thread isn't about that, so I'll leave it at that.


    Oh wait I lied. One more post.

    FFXI was an MMO that was built with the PS2 in mind, and had to work around the PS2, the PC was an afterthought. FFXIV is being built for a PC and a console. So yeah, taking ideas from a PC MMO seems like a pretty fucking good idea.
