Increased facilities?

At this point it looks like the data services provider that SE contracted with for the NA/EU regions has reached the extant of what they can provide without purchasing more servers that then have to be configured and deployed.

Does anyone know the cost to deliver several hundred pounds/kg of insured electronics to Montreal?

I hope they have the floor space, power grid, and HVAC system built up to support the needed server expansions...or we'll be looking at server crashes with extended downtime while they cool!

SE's mistaking was believing the Canadian data services company when they promised they could handle providing services for so many regions.

We would like to make a clarification regarding our previous announcement “Regarding Congestion in Japan Data Center Worlds (Aug. 27)” in which we stated that we are preparing to increase the capacity of our data centers.

The first half of the announcement regarding login and character creation restrictions was directed towards our players who would be playing during peak hours in Japan data center Worlds.

However, the second half of the announcement regarding increasing the capacity of our data centers was meant to also encompass North American and European data center Worlds and not just be limited to Japan data center Worlds.

We deeply apologize for causing concern amongst the North American and European community due to our lack of clarity. Capacity will be increased for data centers in all regions.

Once again, thank you for your understanding and cooperation to help us welcome more players to the game.

Sweet! Glad to hear it.
