Vel, I'm pretty sure I explained myself just fine.

You wanted better latency. You got it. Adding datacenter travel will not fix it, because people will not go there that play in other regions.... Because of latency.

Latency to OCE from my country is easily 300ms on a good day. Ain't no way in Hate I would ever go from Light to Materia to solve your queue times.

The only thing that DC transfer will help in terms of queues, is get people off Materia to queue in a different datacenter.

People traveling to Materia, even if they're in OCE, still have to connect to their home datacenter first and then the data is forwarded. This is how it works in every game with cross region travel or instancing(see: wow Aussie in group with NA group leader... You're in an instance but still paying NA latency tax). It's not going to magically get an Aussie on a JP server better latency.

Some of you have absolutely no idea how this kind of thing works.

On top of it, the datacenter travel works in EU and NA because all servers are in the same farm. You would have to rewrite the code to send the traffic to a completely different server location first, and it's probably not set up for that.

Plus, they don't want the JP servers tarnished. They already don't seem to like OCE on their servers.

Your solution isn't DC travel, because no one will use it to go TO Materia. Only leave it.
