Right, this is what I mean. Now I stop playing a bit after 2.1 came out, I just got back into the game about a month ago. So plz, once again, correct me if I am wrong. But between Headstart and 2.1 NA Data Centers went down often. (If I am not mistaken, more then the JP Data Centers). While I been back I have again seen where the NA was down while JP was up.

Yes, the game had issues back at launch that were definitely server related. Odin crashing whole servers as a good example. This problem has gone away completely since then and hasn't been a problem in a while. The only time we see problems are when literally hundreds of players are in the same place and only Hunts have done that recently.

You also need to remember that one big mistake they made was underestimating the North American interest in the game. They didn't have enough servers ready to handle the sheer amount of people who bought the game. That's why they launched so many new servers within that first month, and had to stop online sales of the game for a few weeks. This was a large reason why the servers went down so often.

Really though how many MMO's nail this on day 1? Most have issues with connections and server stability in the first weeks.
