I'll visit the mystical realm of Oceania.
They say they come from a land down under where Women glow and Men plunder.
AUSTRALIAN BEACH PARTY!!!
Im planning pop my head into oceanic server to see mount prices
Excited to see even more dead PFs
Looking forward to retiring my eu alt eventually
Imagine finally getting through the queue on launch day, going about your business until you get to the first dungeon. Staring you straight in the face is a part full of "Luna Nightsong đ She/Her (BALMUNG)" and "EPIC MUSCLEMANLOLSORANDOM (BALMUNG)" both with twitter linked in their plates. I can't even begin to describe the horror. It would be like entering an episode of the twilight zone (but with americans).
Lord Yoshi-sensei-sama-kun. Please keep the americans out of my server- I'll even buy the whale, please. Amen.
OCE being the first intercontinental server
Maybe someone can make a copy of the Crawler's fc house on Oceania datacentre in preparation for the party
love preach hope he comes to OCE, it needs the publicity
Everyone in Oceania trying to get that beach front property to host. haha
Get Rekt Raven
I do think the "travel migration" that results in players congregating around more populated servers would actually be a death knell for OCE if travel were opened up in the reverse directions on an ongoing basis.
I like having my Oceanic server, but I'm not going to pretend like most people wouldn't just up and travel to JP or NA if they thought it'd get them faster PF queues and the like. The experience of raiding with like 10ms ping vs 140ms on JP is such a significant upgrade that I know I'd never leave but the population over here is spread pretty thin due to a combination of poor timing of the server launch due to COVID delays, and Square Enix maybe overestimating how much infrastructure they would actually need (their original plan was for 3 servers plus an additional 2 if they needed, but they chose to launch all 5 upfront instead to avoid potentially having 2 worlds forever in a minnow status… Which is exactly what happened anyway).
Other regions traveling TO OCE is completely 100% a-okay in my books. People who left behind friends on JP and NA can finally hang out again, and the people that stayed on the distant DCs can experience proper double weaves without clipping and instant-response menus!
I find it funny Mike doesn't know NA region mains have had alts on EU just for his party events for like 3 years now.
It's a GOOD thing its a temporary measure. The game does not need cross region data travel, it needs region wide party finder and ques. If they don't fix that before adding cross region data center travel then we could possibly get a worse situation of everyone traveling to the same "raid" data center. It could be a self perpetuating problem fi not dealt with before hand. So long as the devs can fix the need to travel to other DCs before adding such a permanent feature, it should be fine.
Hoo boy here come the Brazilians
Its great test cause you got 3 regions hammering the farthest single server and made it one way. Ping, test, capacity test, login test. Engeering wise its crazy smart and also prepare for Dawntrail launch.
I always wanted to go to Lunarcon đ
Data center travel has destroyed the party finder except for one data center in each region. This might not make it THAT much worse since many people won't sacrifice their ping when partying for hard content, but I'm horrified they're moving forward with more DC travel before they work on a solution like cross-DC PF. I hope some content creators bring up this problem during the media tour, but I worry they won't since they're insulated from it with their communities at their beck and call to fill any party for whatever they want to run.
I can annoy Mike finally
Why does this youtube channel have not many subscribers? You deserve more.
It's always amusing watching most people beat around the bush on this issue. Pretty much everyone knows the reason we don't have regional travel is the Japanese players don't want westerners on their servers. There is no way around that that wouldn't be a PR nightmare.
