Oceanic Servers

Hi SquareEnix, great job on the recreating FF14!

Many of us from the Oceanic region choose Japan servers due to PING as well as similar time zones. However, it is difficult to bridge the language gap when the server is predominantly Japanese speaking. Yes, we could roll on NA servers, but the ping as well as the time-zone difference is not optimal.

Suggestion: Please create/designate an Oceanic server for English speaking fans from the Oceanic regions such as Australia, Singapore, Hongkong etc

If it is logistically unfeasible to locate a server in another Oceanic country, then just please Designate* one or few of the Japan Servers as Oceanic/English.

WoW does that tool, to cater for the timezone.

Please move the Oceanic/English server of the Japan group to the top, so that new players can actually know that an English server exists in the Japan group.

You have many Oceanic/Asia fans as well, so please help us love your game more.

Thank you!

Yeah i tried na servers because i dont speak jap. But then again im from Philippines and everytime i get back from work, gilgamesh server is on its dead hours :/

Masamune(Legacy) and Tonberry are the JP servers that you're looking for.

That's cool, but still not as visible as compared to if SE designated official Oceanic servers though..

And, I'm thinking those servers are jammed pack with awesomeness already.

Oceanic dominated servers are active in what timezone?

Pretty much same as japan. GMT+7 to +8.

Behemoth is great, use PingZapper to make your ping 150-200

I'd like to play on the japanese servers, but I tried pinging all the data centres, and I get a better ping on optus cable to the NA servers than the JP ones :(

Tonberry and Tiamat are currently the chosen Oceanic servers.
PACKED with english speaking players to the point where JP speaking players are complaining about it.

Yes please. A lot of english speaking oceanic countries got screwed on this one.

I'm on Masamune and while there is a lot of english speaking players on the server, it pales in comparison to the japanese player base.

Having to pick between either:

A) A server which is primarily based with a language most won't understand rendering communication difficult at the best of times
or B) A server which will be at its deadest during our times with high ping

are not really solutions, especially with end game content.

I'm from Perth, Western Australia and Tiamat has been great apart from being pretty busy before the servers got fixed up last Thursday. I did a bit of research before getting the game and ended up finding the Ocenia website like a lot of other people. Seems to be a good mix of JP and English speaking players on there, and we don't seem to have the constant RMT spam that plagues (plagued?) the US servers.

Nice idea with the labeling of the server as English speaking, but I can't see it happening. People just need to do that little bit of research before picking a server.

I disagree, no one should be *expected* to do a little bit of research for something that can be made very simple.

That being said, I won't be holding my breath for anything from SE on this issue ethier.

When server transfers come up in a few weeks, if there is not an option to transfer the guild, we will likely quit the game. Being stuck on a server that is majority Japenese player base is not very effcient when it comes to communitcation and they have gone to the extent of kicking people from groups due to being English speaking.
