Oceanic server

[Alemana]

I dont have any problems running out of aoe effects, based in Australia here as well.

"Borderline unplayable" doesn't remotely describe it. For me everything is fluid and instant; no rubberbanding or skill delays. Perhaps you should get a new isp.

I'm on Tonberry with a few friends, although many others were not so quick in getting in . Is it worth it separating from friends, probably no...but how are we able to find a server to be confident in a decent oceanic population is probably a question for many given the current server status.
What would really help is at least have a OFFICIAL OCEANIC FORUM, so that we may have a place to discuss and determine a new server for all those lost oceanic souls that could not get in the pre-determined servers and a chance for friends/family to reunite.
There is no official word on xfer either, me and my friends are all just a confused bunch now as to what to do. Possibly releveling on the 'promised' new servers will solve the issue. Then again, no server name has been announced so likely us oceanic players is gona be scattered all across the place and eventually paying to transfer to a server like Tonberry in the end...

The Lat on the NA servers is bordering unplayable. Moving out of effects is basically a waste of time.

Well I have been playing as probably the most latency dependent role (tank) on almost every duty finder in the main story as well as the extra dungeons.

The latency is'nt that bad as was quoted it's similar to 1.0, I don't have any issues avoiding aoe, or mob attacks in general. However every now and then you will get by an attack you are clearly out of range of. But this is maybe a 1 in 100 occurance.

+1 for being on Tonberry with friends spread across Tonberry and a couple of other worlds.

Would be keen for a new World labelled Oceanic and the ability to free transfer to it. That, or for Tonberry restrictions to be lifted and a sizeable enough window so my friends can actually get on, but as mentioned, this is incredibly unlikely. Seems if you didn't play in Phase 4, you had no chance of actually getting onto Tonberry.

I also find if you react quick enough, and don't 'derp must finish casting spell before I move', you're generally okay getting out of red circles, especially after you've been doing it for 40+ levels. That said, from what I have been reading, you latency is either better or worse on JP servers depending on your internet provider (Optus and companies that run on Optus lines can get ~200ms on NA servers, but get ~280+ms on JP servers). Always fun reading threads about people getting stuck with 130ms and how it makes the game 'impossible'

Tiamat JP has a lot of Oceanic players :)

Switched from Behemoth NA during EA as I was getting such bad lag & always got hit by AOE's when well out of range ~.~ tis so much better now ^^

To my understanding these are the 'official' Oceania servers:
JP Legacy - Masamune
JP New - Tonberry
JP New - Tiamat
NA Legacy - Sargatanas
NA New - Behemoth

Not sure which ones are still open to new characters though~

I check quite frequently (whenever I log in/out, or get force disconnected) and all servers are pretty much locked down 24/7. I understand they are working to alleviate the issues, however it seems Tonberry (and possibly Tiamat) will never remain open long enough to get 'all' the oceanic players on to them, or at least allow enough time for friend/family groups to coordinate onto either of the worlds until after the free month is over and potential numbers drop.

Of course having a third world can potentially cause greater population issues when the free month cut off passes, but it seems people just want to play with their friends on a JP server that has a decent population of Oceanic/english speaking players (preferably without the login issues!).

I do want to go to one of the Oceania/SEA servers though, I'm actually more of a SEA player. Currently I'm in Cerberus, having met literally no Aussies. On Guildworks, I met one Aussie guy however, might contact him tonight.

Im currently on Exodus and i live in Sydney, no issues for me and even if they do open up a server ASPAC (Asia pacific) i wouldn't change due to the fact that i and possibly a lot of others aussies playing on other servers are at a point of no return with our characters....unless they allow us to transfer our profiles than that will do it for me

Well I really hope they open up realm transfers soon. My friends are on Tiamat and Ive spent hours refreshing the list trying to get on. Eventually I gave up and rolled on Ramuh where I haven't encountered a single English speaking player. It sucks. I don't really want to start over either.

Which is why I selected Exodus...there are plenty of English speakers here although they are in different time zones which i guess isn't too bad as i don't usually get to play till late night when the gf allows me to lol
