NA/EU world can't update

[DartFx]

Managed to play an hour this morning then logged off for about half an hour and have not been able to get back on since. I'll just keep trying to log in every now and then and hope I get lucky, since spamming it seems to just make it worse.

I'm doing the exact same thing... Haven't been able to play for about 2 days now.

Labor Day, no classes, no work, family sleeping after a BBQ means there's going to be a ton of people looking to get on FFXIV. I think SE should have just done all international servers instead of labeling them JP and NA/EU. The lag is like non-existent on a JP server. If they didn't segregate the list, I'm pretty sure character creation would have been more evenly distributed.

They probably planned it like FFXI, but maybe some whiny NA or EU player didn't like the idea of playing with people they couldn't understand. Playing with international folks is fun and makes it seem like you're in a foreign land in-game.

You have a point. The majority of people I played with towards the end of 1.23 were Japanese, and I never had a problem. Hell most of the time people don't talk anyway...at least for me.

I tend to think it's more that the JP's wanted their own little world and not have to deal with trying to communicate with NA/EU players.
I do however agree that they should have not labeled/segregated the world list as it is more fun to just have a mixture of everyone in each server and would have more evenly distributed character creation throughout.

Yea NA/EU wont load.

Sad day, my first day off after 3 days of 12hour shifts. #1stworldproblems

This login boss needs to be nerfed big time. Worst addition to the game yet.

The NA/EU list is up now on my end. now if i could only get in.

[SenKoyo]

Sort of off topic, but why did the Japanese servers get all of the cool summon names, and the vast majority of ours are just monsters? I feel like they could have evenly spread the names around...

I agree, I had a JP friend back in FFXI that said that a lot of JP's felt like the NA/EU invaded their game, so they were angry about it and didn't want anything to do with English speakers. We just play by a different set of rules I think, like no conversions over general/shout channels in zones. That's something us English speaking folks do a lot ... I tend to love the entertainment of a long drawn out possibly racist philosophical arguments over zone chats, but that's just me.
