Awful lag from EU to NA servers

Someone pointed out it's better to start a new thread in regards to this high ping issue we EU people are struggling with for the past few days.

We know it's NTT again, and it's unrelated to ISPs.

I hope they add NA/EU DC travel for times like now because this is getting ridiculous.
The worst is that there is no acknowledgement or communication from SE about this, like i dont know if they are working on this or if they are even aware which makes it very frustrating.

For anyone saying "just make a new EU character lol" i would rather quit the game than restart the 10.000+ hours i have invested into my character, not to mention friendships and everything else.

Anyway here's my traceroute if anyone is curious :(

It was bad already this morning and it is even worse now!
Someone need to look into this issue, because in this state you can't doo anything besides Island and Chat Simulator!

Im getting same lag issue. I dont know what to do anymore. I cant raid TOP with my static because it lags so much. im around +400 ping and everything is so laggy. Can square enix please fix it? i never had lag before on NA servers until now. its really bad.

Woke up and had decent ping for like 10 minutes, now its gone haywire to 500 ms again. Four different threads on this particular topic and yet nothing acknowledged from SE's part.

It is very unlikely, that SQEX can fix this problem. ;)

No, but they can contact their NTT buddies and have them solve this issue. It's not that hard, but if no CMs care about reading these English forums, so of course there will be no acknowledgement. This applies to a tiny minority of people, so it's lowest priority.

At least knowing that they are trying to resolve the issue with their NTT colleagues would be nice :/

I have also been experiencing this and the game is almost unplayable lately. I really hope something can be done to improve this.

Guess what? Perfect ping the past few days, however, today and recent:

Seems we're back to square one.

NTT has been working somewhat for me past year but it's been shitting the bed for past two weeks. If we are paying monthly subscription, aren't we due service we're buying?

I've been playing on NA server since 1.0 and I don't have plans to leave.

I had a tremendous ping two days ago on Crystal 450 (while playable on Aether and Primal: 170/180). Yesterday was fine and today we back again at 450 even on the other two options. Trying ExitLag and ofc it got better (180 with it) but I don't want to pay two monthly services (game + vpn), kinda annoying.

I use Proton VPN because it has very decent free servers to use, and my ping is stable at 165ms as it should be.

Currently 440 high ping on Aether, which has never been the case for many years of playing there, but for the past few weeks the game has been unplayable...

Hello,
I live in Greece with 100dl/100up and I was perfectly fine in Leviathan Server, now for the past month the lag is unbearable. for example when i am just standing in a main town, i see other players skip (next to me at one point, then gone , further done the road next) when ever i switch a job it takes a while for the switch to register. I never had this issue. my ping is like 430ms, which before it was 112ms. I understand im in EU but never had this issue with ping. I have tried other games (NA servers) and run fine. Please assist?
