Seeing that the NA got shafted and got all the lame servers, I might be sticking to Gungnir, depending on if the latency is game breaking or not. Anyone else on the same boat?

Hey Verm, long time no see buddy, I'm probably going to one of the NA servers, not sure which yet.
-
06-06-2013, 06:27 AMZenakuNot from your world but sadly Ridill became a JP world like i knew it would. Going to a NA world due to everyone going. Not many players going to stay behind even if latency is good.Quote:

Anyway, Chances are I'm probably going to end up on an NA server if latency really turns out to be an issue.
Got a LS/FC set up yet? -
06-06-2013, 06:34 AMVermilionThat's what I feared... I'm just disappointed that JP got ALL of my alternative servers I was thinking of moving to.Quote:

I'm going to wait for the dust to settle and see what groups are heading where then. Such a shame SE didn't give us a say in server names. -
06-06-2013, 06:37 AMRathSkybreakerGoing to be running with Neutral Impact, great group of guys, cool fellas, knew a few of them before I applied.Quote:

Didn't manage to finish my first relic, and missed the Darnus Hard mode ;-;.Quote:

Sterling Highwind here. (subject to change come FFXIV:ARR)
latency is going to be the make or break for me. 99.99% chance im choosing a NA/EU server. I am going to miss seeing a lot of old friends. Hope some of them see this post and reply; so maybe we can work something out.
thinking maybe Hyperion (the Titan of the east.) and im on the EAST coast so makes since to me. :p -
06-06-2013, 09:10 AMVermilion
Exactly, if latency is not a game breaker. I'd like to encourage people to stick to these servers.

Hey Gungnir
Azure here representing the BNYC guild, we are taking a poll but we are definitely leaning towards leaving Gungnir and towards Hyperion
Just want to leave a thank you note for the Gungnir community for a great time, and a personal thanks to the Istory community for being awesome. -
06-07-2013, 10:49 AMRockababy
Oh nooo Azure youre leaving?! man I'm so torn I feel like leaving not because I want to but because I feel like I'll be the only NA guy on a JP server... I'll miss my JP friends...
I have a general question to anyone who reads, it's that if they leave Gungnir where will they go? -
06-08-2013, 04:49 AMVermilionOne of the NA servers probably, Balmung is probably going to end up being RP, so it's going to be between Sarg and Hyperion. This is unless I find NA shells forming on Gungnir.Quote:

06-08-2013, 01:51 PMNoloeTazierThe RP community on Balmung is a vast minority compared to the rest of the community, we don't mind being labeled to unofficial or official RP server. The RPers mostly keep to themselves. The server as a whole is mostly NA but there's quite a bit EU, and sadly I suspect the JP side will be jumping ship.Quote:

06-08-2013, 02:26 PMNoloeTazierA very good community, I'm not one to put up with people /shouting "lulz gooby" and such, Balmung had none of that. At times it might have been hard for new players to get help with quests like right after patches, but I'm sure it was like that for all servers. If you look at xivpads I think Balmung is in 2nd in population just on that site. Tons of old players returning, new players joining or rerolling, and people on other servers transferring to Balmung. Kinda feel like we might hit population cap relatively soon after Launch. Balmung in a nutshell.Quote:

Verm, from what I've gathered, there's a pretty big difference from jp and na servers..I know people who are pinging the server in Montreal, and the JP server, and response time averages are varying by 80-100 ms in some cases.. that's a pretty insane difference.
-
06-09-2013, 07:29 AMVermilionYeah, I might be moving in the near future, so these tests may be pointless, but I've averaging out at about 85ms to Montreal, and 140ms to Japan. For MMO gaming, 140ms is not game breaking.Quote:

I guess I'll wait and see what type of people and linkshells go where. I want to avoid the EU heavy and RP heavy servers. Which pretty much leaves me with Sargatanas and Hyperion I think. -
06-09-2013, 07:34 AMRathSkybreakerBG is going to Excalibur, and I think my LS is leaning towards Hyperion but I'm not sure yet, I'll know around monday I think? Not sure. Kind of a sticky situation atm because well, a lot of people just aren't sure yet, I'll post here if I find out anything about shells moving.Quote:

Ping times is important, but personally I care more aobut the fact that JP servers are going to be 90% populated with JP players, which is of far more concern with me. I don't enjoy spam on my chat window in a mmorpg that I cant understand and people that I cant communicate with.
-
06-10-2013, 08:10 AMVermilionPing times are important, but for a game like FFXIV, if you're under 150ms you are fine.Quote:

Sorry I've only played FF XIV for a few months before it shut down so I dont know what RP is all about but I was thinking about going to balmung and want to know why not? =s
-
06-12-2013, 09:16 AMAlteiriaa
Balmung is supposed to be a nice place, or so I'm told. It isn't just RP there afaik, so it's really up to you if you wanna go there or not. I'm personally thinking about it myself, though honestly it's still in the air. I'm happy as long as I'm on a server with people I can understand, lol.
(Also, hiya Rock!) -
06-12-2013, 02:19 PMRockababy
Riaa! =D it's been sooooo long!
Hopefully our LS can talk it out and figure out what to do since beta starts on friday lol 7 months was too long -
06-13-2013, 12:31 AMGangaram
ROCK !!!!! You know what, so this mean 7 months now, release date will make 9 months, real reborn! So now I know why they took 9 months :) I still don't know what server for me !! I guess i'll wait and see where most of my buddies go.
-
06-13-2013, 01:28 AMRockababy!!!!! LGGGGGGG !!!!!! I totally missed your first post o.0' lol we must stick together! I cant wait to see everyone online again :) It's not final fantasy XIV without LG!Quote:

Gonna put my 2 cents and suggest Sargatanas, well cause I'm from there :P. Would love to see more new faces! Only thing I'm worried about is the transfer as well. I hope FFXIV Pads is wrong and we really don't have that many people, it didn't seem like it during the end of 1.0 to be honest.
