  • Participate in the Upcoming Cloud Data Center Stress Test!

    In the interest of expanding FINAL FANTASY XIV's server infrastructure options, we are currently looking into the possibility of establishing a cloud data center.

    To better gauge the potential of cloud data centers, we will be performing a stress test beginning on Monday, November 20. Though we have already performed these tests in our development environment, we would like to hold a test with our players to identify any potential issues that may arise in a public server environment.

    To participate in the stress test, players must create a new character on the cloud data center. These characters will receive 50 million gil, a copy of Tales of Adventure: Shadowbringers, and Tales of Adventure III (level 80) for each job to instantly access as many in-game features as possible. There will be no limits on content, and players are free to explore the realm as they choose.
    * Please note that all character data on the cloud servers will be deleted when the test has concluded.

    We ask our players for their assistance by participating in this stress test, and will strive to improve our service, as well as our usage of the cloud data center, based on the feedback provided.

    Cloud Data Center Stress Test

    Test Period

    From Monday, November 20 at 7:00 p.m. to Monday, November 27 at 7:00 p.m. (PST)
    * There will be no maintenance prior to the opening of the cloud data center.

    Cloud Server Location

    North America (East Coast)

    How to Participate

    From the title screen, access the Data Center Selection screen and select NA Cloud DC (Beta), then select either the CloudTest01 or CloudTest02 Worlds to create a character and play the game.

    Read on for details.
