Important Information Regarding North American Data Center Relocation

This is not my experience at all. I played on Sarganatas from 2.0 to 3.1, then transfered to Tonberry until present and have a far more stable and consistent connection. I've had very little trouble here playing from both TAS and Sydney.

I'm guessing your queue time is queueing while only selecting 'English' - which is the first question most mentors ask when people ask about queue time in novice chat. I gt 5-15m queues as a MCH. Off-hours are obviously different, but that's the same on all servers. The 'vast majority' of both English and Japanese players are similar to all languages: Hello at the start. Goodbye at the end. Language plays no role here.

For basic dungeons auto translate works fine, however I would never queue for a dungeon I haven't done before in Japanese, the language barrier is simply too great. As for your connection being more stable I am curious if you are running battleping or wtfast (or similar service) these services can often reduce the variability in connection. I haven't run with them for a few years now, but then my connection to the NA servers is surprisingly good and I'm not willing to risk another ban.
