XIV dead (again)!

The NA datacenter was moved to a location improving the ping of more than 50% of datacenter's playerbase, but players that had see their ping moving from the 10ms to an unplayable 100ms vere not happy of losing their special status from 10ms to 100ms deemed that amount of ping makes the game unplayable to them and is enough to warrant a termination of their subscription. Many players quit the game at this point, causing SE to take the servers offline because the game was no longer profitable.

Final Fantasy XIV: Data Centers Reborn

Bahamut comes down from the sky to rain hell on California and liberate the servers for the people that actually matter. :o

That emoji doesn't looks much like a sarcastic emoji :/.

If it ever got to that point, they'd probably just move one of the data centers, either Ather or Primal, back to the East Coast, or in the very least a central location like Dallas.
Although that's probably what they should have done in the first place. Blizzard has kept four separate Data centers across the U.S. (L.A., Chicago, Dallas, and New York, I believe) to cover the entire country for years. Seems kind of silly to move both data centers to the same location.

Im playing with 110ping to begin with - august 2013! O_O No issues! Can play the game like its an offline game.

Now I have 180 Ping!! And NO Big differences! its like 97% the same!

Im from EU/Germany btw! :P

This is why I never play on a region I'm not in. Always pick EU if you are in EU. I know the servers were in US first but I still picked EU. I knew eventually they were going to have to move the EU servers they can't keep it in the US due the experience EU players were having.

OH NO WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE BY MEGAFLARE. I WAS SO SCARED I RAN OUT THE DOOR I DIDN'T TAKE NO SHOES OR NOTHING.

Why should i pick EU servers to play with ppl i absolutely don't care about if there are ppl that i have known for years but omg they are not european? I don't wanna be limited to a special group of ppl just because i was born on the wrong side of the world...

And what about americans that do live and work abroad? Should they be splitted from their friends and families even more? Just because they have to do their job for a year or two?

LOL an unplayable 100ms is this a troll statement?

First world problems bro.

In all honesty 100 is nothing you can raid all day with np.

Everything around 100 is perfectly fine, the only people with a legit right to complain are those who suddenly jumped into the 200-300 range. And even then it probably won't affect you unless you do savage raids.

Fixed OP, as long some satire didn't passed 'thru.

Well, she might just be comparing it with a hut in africa.

It's all about Standards and Poors.

That OP sounds like a bunch of alternative facts to me.

You guys... lalaru is posting satire. She isn't serious??? Haven't you seen her post with the like 50 ways in which FFXIV ended?(over fandom freakouts)

your satire is leaking, here's a towel >.>...just ignore the "zero percent packet loss bishes!" embroidery....it came like that I swear......

Oh look, another drama seeking for attention over its desperate condition. Poor you with your 100ms ping, far more worst than my 90k 3 times a day with many freezes.

some people just enjoy their snarky remarks and comebacks. He probably spent all morning coming up with that post, as the joke gracefully flew over his oh-so-oblivious head.

First, this is a lie, east coast + some EU players = way more than 50% of the NA datacenter playerbase, there are many EU players in balmung and gilgamesh, I know your post is pure satire, just wanted to correct this.

And second, as EU player with a 190-196 ping I can evade things np, and and as smn I stick my 6 ruin III + deathflare 90% of the time during dreadwyrdm trance (lag can make me miss the 6th but its not common at all) so i could do savage raid and perform just right if I wanted to.
So i'm with you here, the game should be fully playable under 250ms, that said SE should improve their client/server structure a bit.

I don't feel any difference in the game though.

I don't know what's better, having a new entry into the glorious "the many deaths of FFXIV" list, or the comments of those who miss out the obvious satire
By the twelve, my sides!

When you can't decide, just laugh at both XD

At least I might get some kind of legacy mark is if that happens.

Did it actually improve 50% of the data center's ping? I'd like to see those numbers, but then again 50% of the population now having worse ping isn't exactly a good thing. Not much anyone can do about it other than try vpns, though. Square-Enix isn't going to put out extra money for a more centralized data center location, it seems. A lot of game devs don't. Though the competition, World of Warcraft, does have data centers on both coasts AND CENTRAL. Hell, even The Old Republic does and that game's dead.

No one will quit, easy as that, stop complaining you and everyone else.

I don't know... :) CA has an economy larger than France and our tax revenue pays the bills for some of the poorer more backwards states. I am pretty sure we're really important!

But the half that improved are west coast, central + some AUS/NZ players.
/shrug

I feel bad for South America right now though.
