This does affect me directly, for example. And now, if someone you know is getting moved off your Data Center, you’ve lost that connection with them, unless they decide to make a server move. However… With the advent of cross world party finder and Linkshells, folks on existing Data Centers have already formed bonds and statics across servers. The best course of action was to add a new Data Center and move some of the existing servers from the other Data Centers to the new. They took a good long look at the Data Centers for US and Europe and decided they were far too populated. Especially after I saw the huge inflation of costs just moving from Midgard to Mateus. But having a Data Center wide economy is going to be interesting. Of course, some folks didn’t like this much. This means you can bounce around until you find a server with the lower price and… well… your market competition isn’t just folks on your own server anymore. The interesting thing is that you can BUY on the Marketboard from any server. There are a few limitations, such as what you can do with Free Companies, the fact you can’t own housing, and that you can’t sell on the Marketboard. In fact, you can almost completely play the game entirely on another server if that suits you. There’s actually a whole lot you can do when on another server, and even when you log out, when you log back in, the game will remember which server you were visiting and plop you right back where you were before. Part of the idea behind this is to allow people to play on another server when their own is filled to the brim (especially with the expansion on the horizon). So, while that sounds good in theory, good luck in ever actually visiting Balmung. In FFXIV, you will be able to click on an Aetheryte in a main city and choose to move to any other server on your Data Center… as long as that server is not already over populated. World Visitīasically, this is similar to the world travel feature GW2 had back before it became a megaserver. Of course, the team announced the World Visit feature first… which sounds like a pretty great thing. Update: We have set dates and information on this move as of Feb 28th.Īnother of the large announcements that came from the Fan Fest was the addition of the World Visit feature and the change to Data Centers.
