FFXIV is a success and claim over 2 million players. Now time has come for Yoshida and Square Enix to fulfill a promise made since V2 announcement :

Give us a EU server in EU !
Agree ? Share and Like this post.

Why ? Because anyone who has played a low latency mmorpg knows it's better and not just a little bit.

Note that a recent less successful MMORPG (Elders scroll online from Zenimax) made this promise too. Today, after 6 month it becomes reality for EU players who can enjoy a far better gaming experience.


Edit : To check ping of FFXIV :
Ctrl+Alt+Delete -> Task Manager -> Performance Tab -> Resource Monitor -> Network Tab -> TCP connections
Look for ffxiv.exe process, latency column.

Playing at about 120~150ms atm... Which is considered as "high" for online gaming. Sure it's still playable, but gaming experience is really better at about 60ms or less.

** Note Chaos is in Montreal atm **

Screenshot of ping cmd from a japanese guy playing on Chocobo serv at10 ms average, that's more than 10 times lower than a European player.

I think we deserve it considering it is a subscription mmo

Or they can just let us connect through a VPN.

It would be great but... I don't want to change server, I have friends on Sargatanas so I wouldn't change, nor start a new character just to try reduced latency... the game works fine for me anyway.

Wouldnt want to change servers either, or get chased off for being a EU on a NA server...

But relatively speaking, our connection from the EU to the NA data center isn't as bad as the connection from certain parts of north america to their down Data center >.> We (or i) get 100 ms of delay at most even at peak times. Lag has never been an issue. europe has a great intercontinental line through the ocean and excellent data traffic overal.

I wouldn't wanna change server now personally, buuuut I do suffer from latency sometimes. Killer on Titan. So yeah I do agree it'd be a nice idea.

Do you struggle with content at all? Like, really struggle? Do you get noticeable lag? I have better ping in the UK than most of my American friends close to the server. I ask this of most people who ask for an EU server because the majority ask for the sake of it, not because we really need it.

1 year has passed now, I doubt they will migrate the servers to EU @_@

So that's how it is? You shouldn't complain unless it is so bad is unplayable.

Why not ask for something that is meh, bearable to be great and almost perfect?

I'm from europe and i've never really experienced latency issues
