My concern is high end raiding where it is much more restrictive, a FC mate told me that kind of ping is a bit of a killer.

And let's NOT forget, on EU is not just about moving freely to any given server we have a HUGE language barrier(EU is not all English (English is a fraction of it, we have french German Spanish Italian Greek Arabic etc etc)this is ANOTHER reason why some EU people (birtish)mainly decided to stick on a NA server.

with all due respect to such circumstances as leaving houses, gil or long-term friendships behind....THIS is by far the most idiotic reason I've seen this far.
It may come as a surprise to you but most of Europe isnt exactly on bad terms with proper school education and....rumor has it that its mandatory for people
to learn english in school! I know, real shocker there.

Some specific folks (looking at you, germans and french people) do have a tendency to be bad with english because theyve been spoiled all their life with
getting exclusive servers for their own kind and generally having translations available so they never felt the need to "git gud" with english.
Sucks. HOWEVER, luckily for the rest of us, there are inofficial german (-> Shiva) and french (-> Moogle) servers, since these people stick mostly to their own.
So you wont even hear much from them or be bothered with it because: You can just transfer to any other EU Server that is NOT Moogle/Shiva. Wow, amazing!

Now, in all seriousness: Coming across people who dont speak any english at all seems to be the exception. They exist,but you wont notice them much.
They will MORE THAN LIKELY not be in an fc with you, they will not randomly engage in a conversation with you...and if you meet them in DF, its still fine 95% of the times
as there wont be any needed communication.

Also, how is language barrier so different on NA? I heard theres plenty of mexican/south american players. Pretty damn sure some of these people dont speak english.

So please, dont make language barrier your excuse. It is NOT.


sincerely,
a non-native english speaker

Do you have Odins IP?

Went from 100 to 185. Tested the game a while and it feels sluggish but is still playable. Sometimes abilities I press aren't responsive such as Fester and anything to do with Carbuncle/Garuda. I'm hoping in the future they will consider putting pet commands client side to improve response like they did for Ninja mudras. As they weren't wildly great to begin with, but worse now.

Very few people realize it will take time for all the routing tables to adjust to the new location and settle on efficient routings. I think some believe that SE can magically adjust that from the first moment they go live. The reality is that it will take time for DNS to fully propagate, and routing tables to adjust on all the various trunk nodes that people use without realizing it.

Routing tables won't change. IP block assigned to the servers was set up long before the servers were migrated. DNS doesn't matter.

My latency doubled. This move location was...incomprehensible.

Well, I am on Ragnarok and the vast majority speak English including people who are from other countries.

I used to be on Ragnarok. I remember lots of japanase in french in the chat.

I started to play FFXIV on the very first day of the alpha. So don't you - Jetstream_Fox - dare to tell me it is my fault. There WERE NO EU servers, nor NA servers when i started. There were no EU servers when i switched to Goblin to play with friends from FFXI that i have known for years. And when EU servers came up i had a history of many years with lots of US ppl i care for. I could have switched to EU but good friends over a ping that was absolutely ok? My friends were more important. If ping only counts for you and you do not care about the ppl you spend your time with: totally fine for you, totally fine for me but don't tell me that i made the wrong decision. Nobody knew that EU servers or a NA move would come in the future when i started.
