We ask for your understanding as we work to create a better experience for all players in the days to come.
We will be taking various steps to minimize the impact of these changes, including offering free World transfers for all characters on the North American and European Data Centers for a period of approximately two weeks after implementation. The current state of each World’s community and its primary language have been taken into consideration, but we understand that the redistribution may cause difficulties for players nevertheless. With the addition of new data centers, however, it will be necessary to redistribute various World servers. Accordingly, one new data center for North American players, and one for European players, will be created in April.
In order to facilitate a smoother in-game experience for our many current players, as well as prepare for the increase in activity expected to come with the release of Shadowbringers, we have made the decision to expand our server infrastructure.
