Stutter Stepping?

Today I logged in and for the first time ever I have had this weird stutter step when I walk. My character just starts walking and stops after about 3 steps then does this 1 step- stop - 1 step - stop routine for a while then goes 3-4 more steps and it happens again.

As far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong with my W key and when connecting to the server, Valefor, I am shown I have "excellent" connectivity.

I've restarted the computer, turned off things that interfere with connectivity such as download managers, youtube, etc. but the problem has been persisting and I'm really just not sure what's causing it. It is, however, making it next to impossible to play though. Just getting around is a chore and I don't even want to think about going into a dungeon like that.

Are you using a wireless keyboard ? If so try changing the batteries.

its the servers, certain servers been acting like butt since the mog station maintiance begain, almost all of Zalera has been complaining about stuttering

Balmung and the instance servers we use are doing it too.

Ahh, OK. I'll try again when the maintenance is over then. Thanks =)

Nope! USB keyboard. Unplugged it and cleaned the connection and replugged it in too. Though my typing and W keys seem to be just fine.

Maintenance over and I'm still stutter stepping T____________________________T

There have been numerous reports of severe latency issues where countless people have isolated the problem to SE's end, and SE still has not fixed it. It's not just you. It got so bad last night, I /shouted "Anyone else getting terrible lag spikes? NW Washington here" and I got pages and pages of replies from all over, everyone having the same problem. It's not our connections, it's not our ISPs, everything else, whether it be other games, other MMOs, streaming video, surfing, everything else works fine except for FF14. But SE says it must be our ISPs. Every one of us. From all over the place. Even though everything but FF14 works flawlessly. Seems reasonable.

SE doesnt care enough to admit they are the issue. I mean seriously... 4 years and they havent fixed this issue. I mentioned it in another post. I see bout 5 AFK people in every area i got to but they dont DC ever, yet active players get DC. SE should talk to Blizzard cause apparently they cant fix this issue themselves...

To be honest are you shure its SE's fault? if so wouldnt other datacenters also suffer from that issue?
I've read on here that the US-canada backbone connection isnt the best leading to a lot of issues. Couldnt your problems be located there?
The fact that other games or general internet is fine means little since they use other pathways. The only thing you can be relatively shure of is that your own installation or local provider isnt at fault.

I know at times connection was really bad for me when chaos datacenter was still in canada but all issues seem to have been resolved by the migration to europe.
