If this is'nt favoritism, it is horrible, horrible strategy.

Servers were originally in Japan because that is where SE is headquartered. Most likely, they owned the servers/datacenter that was running the game.

When everyone complained about 'lag' they opted to add NA servers. Now, it's not very likely that they would go through the planning/development to run their own datacenter in NA. So, they're renting space from a 3rd party.

Anyone want to bet that the problems, especially since they're only on NA servers are due to a THIRD PARTY and are outside of SE's immediate control?

Stop for just a moment and think about things before you just unload a cart full of whine.

sheesh

Agreed. Also, at least this game is being released simultaneously across the world, as opposed to FFXI which was out for like a year in japan, if you want to discuss favoritism, lol

thanks for proving my point about favoritism. and you guys do know that SE has a very big base of operations in the US as well right? where is your proof that they are using a third party space for data centers? and if thats the case they are even more retarded then i suspected. you sure you guys are arguing against me or just proving my point further? hmm lol.
