Yay! Yoshi is coming to Australia :)

Oh yeah, totally a valid response. Let's play with on a server where 10% of the people speak the same language.

Since Odin is Chaos datacenter, I'm sure XiXiQ is already surrounded by non-English Europeans. I highly doubt NA players love your 300ms ping any more than xenophobic JP players love us. Masamune and Tonberry has healthy populations of Oceanic players, because plenty of Oceanic players see the sense in playing on the server with lower ping. It's not even hard to communicate enough with JP PUGs because auto-translation phrases and simple common abbreviations and terms.

There's nothing wrong with choosing to play on NA/EU servers, but you have less justification for complaining about ping if you aren't choosing the closer server.

Are you aware that the people of Japan speak a different language to the people of Australia?

Are you aware that the people of Canada speak a different language to the people of Australia?

According to the streamed event over the weekend, this is just a media tour Doesn't sound like anything for the public...

Hopefully it means good things for the future though. If he's willing to recognise that this part of the world exists, we may be able to get some Supanova/etc appearances out of him ^_^

Is it bad that the first thing that came to my mind was a stingray joke?

What do you know about Australia? Every Australian is one man?

We all know Yoshi-P's Japanese heritage will attract blue-ringed octopus attacks though, not sting rays.

Old, I know, but I am going to reply.

first, as it happens, my ISP at this time had 250 ping to Canada - and 280 pings to Tokyo. (6 months ago it was 290+ to both places).

second, I did not "choose an EU server" When I signed up originally as a beta, SE decided I was to use an EU server.

Now I have a different ISP, and I can get around 160 pings to Tokyo. While moving servers is probably a good idea now, I can't take my house or my friends with me - not to mention most of my gil - and frankly, this is not a problem of my making.
