North American Server Expansion FFXIV Coming in November, More Housing on the Way
Final Fantasy XIV has plenty of space. The MMO is still very popular and attracts new players. Meanwhile, the existing community expands to fill the gap.
There are still queues for specific servers during primetime, and there is still a gap between people who want to house and those who can afford it.
As previously stated, the FFXIVteam remains focused on expanding the existing server infrastructure. In January, the Oceania data centre was added, giving players from Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea access to their servers. The new Meteor data centre with Patch 6.18 was delivered to the Japanese region.
Although the expansion of the North American data centre was initially planned for August 2022, it was postponed to July.
The team provided more information about the growth during this evening’s Live Letter. Dynamis will be the new logical data centre and open on November 1, 2022. It is possible that data centre expansion maintenance could take place within 24 hours.
Four new worlds will be available on the server:
- Halicarnassus
- Maduin
- Marilith
- Seraph
The housing lottery will be held for those who are transferring to the new servers solely for housing purposes. It will start on November 5, 2022. A translation from the excellent FFXIV discord server shows that Naoki Yoshida, the director and creative producer, stated that only four servers are being added because the company expects the playerbase will grow with Patch 7.0.
When that possibility becomes real, they’ll reserve a place at the table for any potential servers.
Yoshida said they are working on new housing plots but have not finalized their schedule. This means there may be some hope for Dynamis players who aren’t ready to move to Dynamis.
We’re still waiting for Patch 6.25 and the North American server expansion. FFXIV has plenty to offer. The Island Sanctuary, All-New PVP Rewards and Pandaemonium Abyssos Raids are still available. It’s time to complete the Manderville quests in preparation for The upcoming Relic Weapon quest.
