You know they have at least 3x more western players than JP players right? Yet they launched with roughly the same number of servers for each side.

It's not that the JP servers are magically better, they just don't have the population we do. The low number of servers we have was a severe oversight.

JP servers don't just house japanese players, they also house the rest of asia and oceanic players.
Both sets of servers have the same issues during their respective prime times.

Actually they house whoever chose to roll a character there; naming the servers JP/US/EU is a major issue because it's caused all these misunderstandings (and accusations of preferential treatment).

Anyway I play on a Jp server - DC'd on the first part of story mode's penultimate boss and I DC'd again today in a different 8 man instance... after having to fight for a bit with the log in screen. It does appear that the Jp servers are having fewer issues, but they're definitely still there.
