Physical/regional servers FINALLY confirmed ??! (Y)

[Jinko]

So, I live in Ontario Canada, it's about the same distance from Japan as Europe.

I never experience this dreaded lag that everyone talks about and just wanted to put that out there.

I do however experience a horrid lag, one which I would never take to a fight, on my laptop. It actually about doubles the time to take stuff to react, you can really feel it.
Lowering the graphics drastically, only help this so much.

My laptop aint bad either, it's an i7 Quad, 2 ghz, 6gb ddr3 ram, nvidia gtx540m. It just runs the game really poorly, and besides having to run the game in on lowest graphics, there's that horrid lag. Which I'm cool with, I just craft on it.

What I'm trying to say is, I'm not conviced the lag that people complain about during ifrit is based on you're region (since I've never had a problem on PC), but more on the specs of you're PC (processor or g-card).

When they optimize this game for lower end PC's, I'd imagine that retched lag on my laptop will be gone. While the game is playable on my PC, there's definatly room for improvement there as well. if they can work on those two areas, though there's always gonna be some lag due to the fact most of us play from the other side of there world, I'm sure we'll feel enough of an improvement.

Its easy to tell the difference between latency issues and frame rate issues.

The fact of the matter is your are smack in the middle of both regions, your latency is going to be half of what an EU player experiences.

This isn't up for discussion, its proven that distance makes a massive different in these kinds of games, as others have said playing WoW with 300+ ms compared to 80 ms is night and day.

Fact is that EU players get 300ms tacked on before they even start.

Hi Folks,

Actually i like to play on international servers too (i´m an EU Player) but actually, with 2.0 it won´t matter on which server you are, because you can play with ppl from other servers.

So it would be like: Im on a fast server, with no lag, but can play internationally through content finder

If i got it right, it´s a really good solution i think! Or maybe im totally wrong, then pls correct me

Regards

Actually this isn't true, there is a good reason why US and EU WoW players don't get to play together.

Content finder will only work per region, you can't really connect two servers between EU and JP the data transference would be unbelievably big.
