Final Fantasy XIV North American data center relocation update By Erren Van Duine on April 25, 2017 at 1:47 PM

As previously announced, Square Enix will be facilitating the relocation of Final Fantasy XIV‘s North American data centers to more modern facilities. According to a new post on the Lodestone, the company will be performing maintenance on all Worlds for an extended time during this move.

The way this will work out is all data on the Aether and Primal data centers will be automatically moved to the new North American data center. There won’t be any changes to the display of the data center or World listings, etc. Additionally, players won’t need to take any special steps on their end.

The maintenance schedule for each data center is as following:

  • Aether / Primal Data Center Worlds
    From Monday, May 15, 2017 12:00 a.m. to Wednesday, May 17, 2017 12:00 a.m. (PDT) 48 hours
  • Elemental / Gaia / Mana / Chaos Data Center Worlds
    From Tuesday, May 16, 2017 12:00 a.m. to Wednesday, May 17, 2017 12:00 a.m. (PDT) 24 hours

To make up for this extended downtime, Square Enix will be offering compensation to players. Subscription periods will be extended by one day for all players who have an active subscription during the maintenance. Subscriptions will be extended even if your subscription happens to end at the time of the extension. However, please note that this does not add retainer service subscription.
