A European datacenter!

I would like to remember the nay sayers that the lag is noticeable on everything, not only aoe movement.

the healing people that get the heal but die anyway, casting time and when the spell hits, its very much noticeable A LOT in all casting related.

My EU brethren need some EU servers!

Um people in canada near the servers get this too, it's part of how the game has been programmed.

for you its a bit noticeable, i know its not any good there either, but for us we get what you get, plus 0.1s~0.2s on EVERY action

Have you not read my previous post in this thread? I'm from the UK/EU as well lol you don't get the "plus 0.1~0.2s" on every action unless your ISP is just bad, no matter what your up/down speed is if your ISP just blows at routing protocols or is throttling you because it thinks FFXIV is peer-2-peer then you cant blame the server location for a "local" problem as that problem would still exist with EU server because of your ISP.
Not to mention i have played many MMO's on NA servers from the UK without any of this "terrible delay" that people keep complaining about in both pvp and pve and i'm not even using fibre optic.

Sorry if my ISP isn't magical as yours and does extra 8500 Kilometers in 0ms

im an informatic engineer, u saying u have same MS as US or CANADA is just a blatant lie, data travel takes time

Between certain MS ranges the change in actions on an MMO is not noticeable, it only becomes noticeable and affecting of gameplay when you go between 1 range and another. And for an informatic engineer you should understand that, plus you should also understand slapping a data centre in the EU won't fix 90% of the problems people are claiming to have when it's down to how the game has been programmed.

Also need i not mention that shorter distance in miles/km does not automatically mean you have a shorter distance metric between you and the servers, for example right now you could have 10 to 12 hops between you and the servers in canada but if a server was placed in the EU and the data was being improperly handled and you were send through 30 hops to reach the EU server your latency would be worse even though you had to travel less miles/km with that data.

It would definately be nice to see the servers being moved to EU.

However I personally am not noticing anything of the lag, currently just level 28 though, but have never been hit in dungeons on occasions where I shouldn't be.

It doesn't even make sense to use skills like Swiftcast cause it takes up to 1 second for the game to realize I pushed that button.
Procs are a pain in the ass. Cancelling a spell is horrible.
I personally don't have problems getting out of aoes but it happens to trigger the damage even though I was clearly out before the timer etc.
European servers for european servers imo

That isn't a server location problem, there are more EU players able to get out of AoEs without taking damage than ones that do take damage.
