All the lag, network issues are server side [CONFIRMED]

Did you even read the document you linked to?



Notice that congestion can happen at any given point in the route---this document clearly points that out. This is what we have been getting at in all these other threads you keep "poo-pooing" in. We are seeing signs that there is ALSO periodic congestion in the routing. Fixing things at the endpoint does NOTHING.... N O T H I N G to alleviate congestion at a router that is not connecting to that endpoint, but somewhere in between.

The very document you just linked to even talks about mitigating congestion in routing---the very thing we've been trying to investigate. It even goes so far as to talk about the practice of rerouting to mitigate congestion.

Except for the FACT that Se said it was congestion on their own server causing issues.

That copy/paste email you got was pertaining to the hard 90000 error disconnects. How many times does that distinction have to be made?

If you are receiving an Error 90000 when attempting to access FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn, please try again later. This error simply means that the server is congested and you will need to keep trying until you are able to login. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

In order to experience the latency/lag, you have to first connect and get in the game.

Nice point I missed that. Yah if you're getting 90k'd before you even get into the game that is not even close to what everyone else is talking about. Hell even my 90k's don't fall under that heading.

Oh btw, you do understand the fact that Server Congestion =/= Network Congestion 100% of the time.

Point in case, during open beta, early access and launch the reason the servers were congestion was due to server capacity, ie the servers themselve were not physically and/or logically large enough to handle the population. Server capacity is a hardware issue, hell they are still having capacity issues in regards to the server because they neglected to separate the NA and EU datacenters. Personally, what I think they should do is get on the Red Phone and call Blizzard to get an emergency consult on how to properly setup and maintain datacenters. Now I'm not saying that Blizzard is perfect, but come on, not splitting NA and EU to their own datacenters? Really?
