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

[ESAR]

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.

I'm not though, my ping to japan is 350ms and I'm 10300 ish km away, it's roughly the same distance as most of EU players. Some slightly more, some slightly less.

Because I'm the same distance away from most of EU (not half the distance like you seem to think), I'm just not understanding why others complain so heavily about the lag.

I have a pimped out rig with the highest speed internet I can get and I'm right in the city, so I'm not faced with every problem that most are.
However, even with my internet, if I play on my laptop, I experience lag. I'm not talking framerate lag either, i'm talking serious delay in enemy response and when i get off my chocobo.
On my laptop I consider the game unplayable for most things, that's why i only use it to craft.

I've got it pegged as hardware related lag.
If I had to guess, it's the nvidia gtx 540m.

But it shouldn't be the distance. Google the distances, Toronto Canada.

*cough*
So after over a year of having my laptop, I changed a setting and I can play the game with HQ graphics >.>;
I feel silly -.-;
