In Final Fantasy XIV the nominal EU servers will now also move to Europe. The dates are known.
It was a difficult birth. Over a year ago, Square Enix announced that the servers intended for Europe, the data center Chaos, would soon be moving to Europe. Now it is finally happening.
The affected servers are
- Cerberus,
- Lich,
- Moogle,
- Odin,
- Phoenix,
- Ragnarok,
- Shiva,
- Zordiark.
The move of the servers will result in a longer downtime. The affected servers will be unavailable from October 19 at 2:00 AM until October 20 at 12:00 PM. That’s 34 hours. This means, if everything goes well, it will be significantly under the 72-120 hours that were once estimated.
The server relocation is expected to provide a much more pleasant gaming experience for European players. Until now, the EU servers have been located in North America.
