Yoshida-san - GLOBAL Servers and Balancing Tweaks Instead of Regional Servers

[Alhanelem]

Right exactly, but in order to "play" with them, you need to be on the "same data center and the same server within that Data center"

Um, no. This is false. You are not locked to any one data center. You can choose to play on any server, located within any data center, at any time (you'll have to make a character for each of course)

People don't seem to understand what a data center actually is.

A data center is just a secure facility that houses server equipment. It's not some kind of impenetrable barrier that locks you into your region.

Not locked, but you can only choose one data center and you can only play with people within the people that play on that data center.

I know your not "locked" into a Region, BUT if you choose NA Data center, then you can only play with the people in NA.

What you telling me is if I choose NA ( Which I am because I'm not dealing with lag) then I will still be able to play "with" the people that are using the Japan Data Center?

Example: Me= NA Data Center + Someone else= JP Data Center= "Global" still? Because if this is not what your saying, then people can only play within the data center they are in.
