Final Fantasy XIV servers have been dealing with several queue times, with thousands of players waiting to jump into the game to explore the Endwalker expansion. It’s common for Final Fantasy XIV expansion to have queue times, but the ones that came with this expansion were incredibly high, and the team has decided to do something about expanding all of the data centers with the addition of the Oceanic Datacenter.
The data centers for Japan, North America, and European data centers will be expanded. As a result, Japan’s logical datacenters are becoming four while keeping the same number of worlds. Of the three existing regions, this is the smallest change.
The European and North American datacenters have the most significant expansions, happening in two phases. The European server expansions will be happening in July and then in the summer of 2023. North America’s expansions will occur in August 2022 and then in summer 2023, likely close to the European expansion. Each expansion will add four new worlds.
Digital sales for Final Fantasy XIV will return on January 25, and New World transfer will return on January 26.
