SE announces the distribution of servers for the new data centers!

Yes indeed, according to the official announcement made today (HERE), the new information regarding the implementation of new data centers and the future world distribution have been excellently explained.

Yoshi had initially mentioned this during the Fan Fest and we had all been eagerly awaiting the official word on when the new world distributions would commence.  To summarize:

The Future European Data Centers and World Distribution have been shown as follows



The Future North America Data Centers and World Distribution have been shown thus:

Further details and specifics are on the official page; however the important dates to note are:

▼EU Availability
  • Dates: Tuesday, April 2 to Monday, April 15, 2019
  • Eligible: All characters on EU Data Centers


▼NA Availability
  • Dates: Tuesday, April 23 to Monday, May 6, 2019
  • Eligible: All characters on NA Data Centers


This should prove interesting as I try to figure out where my main and alts will now be playing on both the NA and EU servers.  Until later, be well.

Hydatos, Relics, Hidden Gorge and just... stuff


About that Black Mage relic from Hydatos...






Hydatos and it's jarring beauty...











































































By the way, I present to you the Onion Brigrade.  I took these screenshots several months ago and only just now ran into them again in my files.  These ladies were gracious in allowing me to join their "Blue Onion Brigade" and the images speak for themselves...









I've been recently going to the Doma region to explore while mining and it's scenery continues to amaze me...




Alright mate...?  I thought it would be prudent to proceed and retrieve the next phase of level 405 tank amours from Hydatos... sounded like a spiffy plan; thus, I went from this...












To this... the blindingly glowy new upgraded version of the Elemental Fending set.  Solid, yeah?
