good bye FFXIV, thanks to the lag, you lost another customer.

Before bashing OP,
I've quitted the game as well because of the lag. you people need to stop blaming ISP's because not all ISP's that are around the world are using bad routes. and also you need to stop you're sarcastic replies because honestly, people are just disappearing whether they're quitting because of lag, lack of content, or excited for other games.

I am from Dubai and my ISP provides best services all over the middle east. One question I've been wondering about ever since ARR launched, why did they have the EU region Data centres in Canada?
I'd like to have reasonable answer for my question, and here's a screenshot that I recently took, showing you guys the difference between a real EU region datacenter and ARR's EU datacenter that's in canada but supposed to be for EU region lol.


for the whiteknights, yes 200ms+ does matter for some content such as pvp/primals (especially Titan)/and some others.

Those servers are in physically different locations meaning you're going to see different results and you're going to have a different network connection to them. This simply continues to prove what I've been saying all along.

Why are the servers in Canada? Good question. That doesn't mean the servers are terrible and can't handle the game. It's a different logistical issue entirely.

Latency due to distance from the servers isn't the same thing as the packet loss people are primarily complaining about here. The complaint in this thread is mainly about people who are on the same continent and still have lag. This normally means packet loss. The game freezes for a few seconds at a time or ends in a full DC. It seems like you're main complaint isn't that the servers are bad, but that they should have a cluster closer to you. That may be the case, and I would agree but it's an entirely different discussion.

Nodes, bro, nodes.

Yes. Despite your sarcasm they do exist, and they do matter.

It seems other MMO companies know how to take care of their European customers.

Thumbs up blizz
