Everyone can be together presently .
The Data Center Travel feature in FFXIV is getting a new enlargement that allows role player to visit unlike regions from their strong-arm location . From the testing period forrader , players can visit the Oceanian Data Center from wherever they are , be it North America , Japan or Europe .
Data Center travel was bring out back in 2022 in FFXIV , a few months after Endwalker was released . It was the first time players from different Data Centers could interact without get to make an alt fibre to recreate together . However , change of location was pretty limited at first as player from NA - based Data Centers could only visit other NA - based direct current , and so on for unlike part .
It all change starting on March 24 at 8:00 PM ( PDT ) as players from all other three regions will now be able-bodied to confabulate the Oceanian Data Center until the arriver of the 7.0 patch with the Dawntrail elaboration . This period will serve as an Open Beta for the characteristic , and it aims at assuage over-crowding during the expansion ’s release . Seems like they take their object lesson follow the 4k+ player queues we look when Endwalker was first release .
The feature of speech should eventually be permanently contribute to the secret plan in no time , take over no big problems arise . And believe how smooth the introduction for veritable DC Travel last , it ’s good to expect no immense issues . More info can be foundin the official promulgation .
As of now , travel will be one - sided ( i.e. OCE players ca n’t travel to EU but EU players are free to visit OCE ) , but this confinement should be come up in the future . Players are also expect to know lag when playing in Data Centers physically distant from where they live .
The feature intends not only to further tie in the residential district but also to breathe some life sentence into least populated DCs , as player will now be able-bodied to directly shape its population , economy , and much more . However , as demonstrated by the current DC Travel system , many young problems could arise .
Party Finder for some Data Centers has dry out outas players have quietly decided to gather into a single DC for clearing High - End content , for model . Party Finder for Extreme / Savage / Ultimate content is basically dead in Primal , while you may find one C of ongoing recruitment posts in Aether at basically any moment of the day . Endgame raiders are not the only victim , as regular content in the Duty Finder is also affected .
A wider Data Center Travel system could make these problems worse , even though it brings many benefit . A solution would be to implement a Cross - DC Party Finder / Duty Finder , but it seems like this wo n’t be the case for now . But let ’s see what else Square Enix has been cooking for the next updates . We have a whole enlargement ahead of us , so there ’s still much to come .
