The only things that matter with DC's...

reliability
performance
cost

Lies...I see no hamsters in that pic! :eek:
Make no mistake, there are hundreds of hard working hamsters inside the cable netting working feverishly to keep the servers powered up and online. There are of course...unfortunate deaths that can go unnoticed for days on end due to the cable mess and that can lead to lag.
With the new data centers the Turbine employees will be able to closely monitor each hamster and if one should die due to heart failure/exhaustion then it can quickly be replaced to keep servers at peak performance.

That they get a lease longer then 11 months this time. If the infamous Lagasorous reappears in most difficult quests after this move - I think turbine should be called slowtime and I will have to move to a new venue. Lagasorous is a serious monster, CR100 with instant death ability, random teleport and unlimited slowburst all with no save.

Any long lasting company will tell you that occasional data moving is vital to survival.
