Vote for a EU server in EU

[SeleneVenizelos]

So that's how it is? You shouldn't complain unless it is so bad is unplayable.

What not ask for something that is meh, bearable to be great and almost perfect?

I'm sorry, could you please quote where I said that? I was asking the OP how their connection is. What is your problem?

[Zanarkander]

I wouldn't wanna change server now personally, buuuut I do suffer from latency sometimes. Killer on Titan. So yeah I do agree it'd be a nice idea.

I used to struggle against Titan too when I was playing on ps3 and blamed connection and lag. Now that I'm on ps4, dodging plumes is a joke.

Servers are ok where they are. What I'd like to see is them providing regional instance servers. So that once you load up into an instance you can be closer to where you are playing(from what I understand the instances are separate servers and they spool up as needed). So just add those somewhere in europe so atleast in instances we can get improvements.

We need servers in EU !

On the part I quoted. If you didn't imply that then I'm sorry. Is just that I've heard that logic thrown quite a bit every time this topic comes up.

Is true that different players may be experiencing lag for different reasons. Faulty internet connection on their end, underpowered hardware but in either scenario the fact that the servers are on the other part of the ocean doesn't help. At least SE should alleviate the problem as much as they can on their part.

And costs SE tenthousends every month? ingame-shop incomming, the investment has to come back after all.

ingame-shop incomming

Already the case with "Recruit A Friend"... you can see players offering other players a 3 months sub or even re-buying the game with 3 months in order to get new mount ^^' ... But that's OOT.

Yeah, if only they had some constant stream of revenue. Maybe in a form of subscription. I wonder how other MMO companies do it, I guess they just like losing money for no reason.

Sorry for trying to hold SE at a higher standard than most companies. If it were Nexon I would understand. They don't really give a crap about quality. If it were a f2p game I would still understand but in this case I find it a bit hard to justify.

People may post here all day trying to devalue the importance of having servers closer to where you play, or at least not an ocean away but everyone that has played MP games for a long time knows that it matters.

I have cleared everything that can be cleared prior to 2.3, currently working on Savage. But to this day I am unable to play content, such as Titan, without Battleping. The game is unplayable for me without that program. Having servers physically located in Europe would go a long way for me to play FFXIV without a VPN.

Therefore, I support the OP in his question to have EU servers physically located in Europe. If Zenimax with their game, ESO, can do it, a company that has less than half the subscribers of FFXIV, then why can't SE?

[Etupa]

It could be awesome for EU players. I understand many don't want to move from their server or didn't have lag issues, however does it changes anything if SE put a server in EU ? You can still play NA or even JP...

Why this kind of request is bothering you ?
