Community divide in Legacy servers

[ispano]

Back in 1.0, for legacies resides in US/EU region, how was the latency back then?

It was pretty bad for some, the main issue was that it added onto the natural server delay we had due to how the server code was designed. It could be worked around for sure, but it was easily noticeable.

As of now, I'm checking the quantity of discussion between US/EU forum & JP's, and it was astounding! So many on each NA/EU forums, while many on JP server forum doesnt even exceeds more than 10 topics. Even each legacies barely making past 30 topics, with only Masamune making a contrast amount of more than 150 topics. And even more with Tonberry, which now has 450+ topics. But even with the combined amount of topics between Masamune & Tonberry cannot even beat the majority amount of each of NA/EU server forums.

There's a reason for this. Some may not have played 2.0 beta, some may not remember either. The English forums had FAR more threads than the Japanese forums did. I mean within like a day or two even. We hit the thousands and the JP side was barely at a hundred or so. If you look at the rules we have for the forums, mainly the ones to search for an existing thread and such, the Japanese players tend to follow that more than English speaking players do. They also, in my experience, tend to post less "junk" threads. I say junk, not as in they're totally worthless, but say, not too relevant to the forum or game itself.
