Why is it the JP servers work great and NA/EU servers are tanking?

They love the JP more then EU/NA

Um.....nevermind..../shakes head and walks away :)

Yeah but most games I see have servers in the states, it can be the market, it probably most likely, SE just not allotting for enough space for this many players. Maybe canada charges more then Se wanted to pay I don't know but there is one big issue.

#1 THEY KNEW how many copy's where sold for head start, and from that could estimate how it may be after release. They ALREADY HAD one ff mmorpg and had the servers working and handling that. IT did not have as many players. Ok so here we go.
IF YOU KNOW ALL THAT
Use that information - Take number of copy's sold this time and last time, find the difference in a %.
Now work out how much more server ( bandwidth / size / number of servers ect ) You need.
How hard was that to do?
Just to lazy to check how many copy's where being sold and go through.
They estimated without using direct hard info they could easily find and where wrong. Or someone badly messed up the calculations.
OR 75% of the people only bought the game after they played the open bata.
Adding on fact that the Canadian office may need clearance from jp office to do certain things so that wait time on top of everything else is just...

There POSSIBILITIES. I have no proof this is just speculations.
