EU vs. NA datacenters

[Del Murder]

That's wonderful news! Now I can troll you both at the same time!

[Loony BoB]

Hopefully! Knowing our luck, we'll both be JP servers by default and everyone will end up moving different NA servers. We'll have to plan this very carefully, I'm dealing with about three of four different LS's for this because so many LS's have overlapping members and all of them have generally agreed to go NA. Tricky!

[Ouch!]

Toward the end of 1.x, there was a bit of a split over some e-drama in the group I was part of, and now the core bunch of people I play with are looking to (probably) pick a new server. Ideally, Sarganatas will be an NA server and I can convince the group to go there and join up with BoB's group. If not, I've added BoB to a group so we can coordinate together to try and get everyone to pick the same NA server to move to.

I'm also doing my best to co-ordinate with two other LS's that key members of Fat Chocobos are linked to closely, so yeah, Sargatanas being a NA server will be ideal but if not, we'll hopefully figure out something with their help. Either way, I'm sure we'll have a good sized crowd however it pans out.

Glad to hear that we're going NA server cause I was usually playing really late at night, so hopefully I'll be on when the majority of the LS is this time around.

Edit: Looks like NA is where we're going? Sounds good; side note: I just finally got my beta key!

So it seems like Europe and NA will be on the same datacenters anyway.

FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone

[Ouch!]

Aegis is a JP server.
Sarganatas is an NA/EU server. I will now start pushing for Sarganatas.

If there aren't separate EU servers, I really hope the US servers are east coast. Europe to west coast USA isn't really a lot faster than Europe to Japan.

[Loony BoB]

There are separate EU servers. Ragnarok is the only Legacy one. Check the FFXIV blog for details. I guess SE are trying to encourage EU and NA players to play together in NA servers.

[Mirage]

Only one single legacy server in the EU? That is pretty dumb.

[Loony BoB]

To be fair, only one or two EU people I know were intending on playing on an EU server. I know entire German LS's are transferring to NA servers to stay with their friends.

[Rostum]

I vote you guys stick to Sarg, and we'll all transfer there.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

As luck would have it, seems like the new datacentre for NA/EU will be in my city!

Cool. Let's hope your route to the server won't cross half the country
