Why No Issues In Japan

Why are there 25 servers for all of Japan, and only 25 servers TOTAL for North America and Europe?

You've been issuing pre-order codes, you knew how many people to expect, you knew there would be a lot more people playing from NA and EU than from Japan.

So I want to know why more than adequate preparations were made for the Japanese servers, and nowhere near enough preparations were made for the NA/EU group.

NA/EU servers haven't been stress tested at all. And having so little servers in the start for so many people is just...well...stupid...

They should of probably gave NA and JP equal servers + add another 8-10 for EU as a start and see how it goes, but we def. need more servers on the NA/EU datacentre and transfers to get people off legacy worlds, or make a new legacy world and offer transfers to it.

Honestly I don't know if you noticed, but since EA started, we peaked harder than JP at times they weren't expecting. They problems they've been "fixing" they apply to the JP servers now at the same time, so its like we're fixing the JP servers for them before they break.

yep. Shoulda expected the rest of the world... -.-; it is sad.

I think we are all missing a wonderful opportunity here and no one has seen it:

What if we all jump ship to the Japan servers?


(Incidentally, I also wonder what moron they hired for server logistics:

"-Okay, Japan-EU-and the Americas, what do you got?
-Dude, relax and hit this while I tell you my plan: Japan is isolated, we'll combine EU and Americas. And we'll give these two groups the same amount of servers.
-Wait... you want to leave a country with barely any land mass with as many servers as the entire western world, comprising most of the cultivated land on Earth?
-Exactly, Bro. Hang on, let me eat a shroom. Oh! That gives me a great idea. We'll just throw all the servers for EU into Canada... Canada is closer to Europe than Europe is, right? Right on US Geography courses!
-...yeah, okay. This logic checks out with me."

HAH... love it :D

I created a character on Typhon in P4 and switch to him when the NA/EU servers are down.
It is ironic that every time I go there, over half of what seems to be maybe 500 people on that server are NA/EU
Thats a lot of real estate that isn't being used at all!

Japan based servers have been in use since FFXI. The NA based servers are a new thing for this game. So basically they've had 11 years to optimize the Japan servers and no idea what NA servers would be like.

What is this an alien planet? Should they not be equivalent to an extent?

Lets go make a giant massive Login in Japan servers and make them BOOOM!.

Start a REVOLUTION!!!!
TO JP Server Typhon!!! ;) go go go!
We can give them a taste of what it feels like to be on a NA/EU server! LoL

i didnt really think of that but thats probly why we are having congestion issues. seems pretty messed up to have NA and EU combines total be the same as the JP total amount of servers.
sound like they care more about their own people then the rest of the world. they need to have equal amounts of servers for NA EU and JP kuz this clearly isnt cutting it.
they clearly just teabagged the rest of the world because someone thought it was a good idea to give JP more servers then everyone else

its true i call bullshit that there are as many japanese servers as NA/EU. Especially that we have so few EU servers, it's a joke

Well.. that'd be a nice and well deserved trolling.
Let's do it.

This is dawning on a lot of people, I have a character on Tiamat and oddly most of the names of other players I see are very EU sounding. So, for as long as they need to fix the NA/EU servers lets colonise a few JP servers! Colonisation is something us Europeans have been good at for centuries...

They just knew that after any problem in early access na/eu would only need 25 servers ( after they rage quit lol) I remember Yoshi saying that comparing to japan, na/eu people tend to choose quickly whether they stay or leave.

Favoritism.

JP Servers are actually down now.

The only reason they were down is because Square was applying the fix they used on the NA servers to the JP servers. That's the only reason they went down.

Sounds like XI with the Seekers of Adoulin expansion is the right game for you! ;p ;)

Reroll Japan or stop QQing. Deal with the latency. There were issues on JP server especially right at launch. These forums make me sick. It is an MMO at launch there are going to be issues and guess what? They will be fixed. People will quit others will keep playing because they like the game. I get it people want to play and it sucks. But grow a pair ...

Gotta say I am embarrassed to be Aussie/NA at moment.We as a group are some of the most impatient rude arrogant self entitled little sods on the planet :( I lay odds you dont see the JP players all screaming law suits an threats of leaving if they cant play today etc etc etc... The server numbers will grow as you well know. What this is about I think is feeling some sort of conspiracy against NA lol

For any JP reading the NA forums, we are not all this impatient:)

Japanese people log in to their servers much more politely than the rude Americans do. Of course the American servers are offended and start to reject people. It only makes sense.

Tonbery (JP) had problem same.
My friend cant create Character in server T-T.

There are more and stable WoW servers for NA players. Coincidence? :3

I guess the issues root from them not expecting so many NA/EU players for the game, probably based on 1.0 player group size relations between JP and NA/EU players. Hopefully they'd give us more servers and the ability to transfer to them so that friends and communities with both new and old players could move together.

So 1-3month down the road all the worlds they ended would have like 1k or less people playing durning prime hours? There a lot of open worlds that are not yet full. The only reason it say it full is they lower the amount of players who can log in at once.
