In Final Fantasy XIV, the major relocation of the EU data center has been successful. The servers are reportedly located in Germany.
This went quite smoothly. Initially, 5-7 days were planned for the server relocation. Then it was estimated to take 34 hours. They finished a bit earlier. This morning, the servers in Europe came online.
Especially pleasing for us Germans: Initial tests show excellent pings. The servers are, if you can believe the tracers, located in Germany and are hosted by a company based in Düsseldorf, which has a branch in Frankfurt.
In Frankfurt, the servers of several providers are now located. The megaservers of The Elder Scrolls Online are also based here. Therefore, it could be that Final Fantasy chose this central location for Europe and Germany as well. Another popular location for Europe servers is, by the way, Amsterdam.
Until the Patch 3.1 at the beginning of November arrives, Final Fantasy XIV players will be able to enjoy the “Halloween” event. This is set to start on October 22.
