While the developer is currently unable to increase the number of Worlds, there’s hope the new data centres will ease the strain on over-capacity servers. ‘From a long-term perspective, we are looking to add one more logical data centre and lower the volume of Worlds per logical data centre, thereby significantly increasing the maximum number of concurrent logins possible by several thousand per World,’ Square Enix said. Square Enix has also announced it’s currently working on improvements to its data centres, with a particular focus on increasing logical data centres in Japan to cope with massive demand and congestion. New players will also be able to access the game once again, regardless of whether they’re playing via a trial. From 26 January, the Home World Transfer Service will again go live, allowing players to transfer data to whichever server they choose. In addition to this launch, many of the suspended services for the game will be restored over the next week. Existing players will be able to transfer for free, with further incentives planned to encourage players to switch over. According to Square Enix, joining the new server will reduce network latency issues for players who’ve previously been forced to join laggy overseas hubs.
When the dedicated server launches, it’ll include five Worlds to begin with, due to the high number of Oceanian players.
