So I can't play and tell with EU/NA/JP friends in ARR...

Incorrect leased lines can built as virtual circuits attached to a physical circuit. They are used all the time for over trans-oceanic fiber. I've configured plenty for domestic AND international clients. It doesn't matter what the physical medium is since its piggy backed onto a physical interface. Its one of many ways to optimize routing. BGP route announcements (public and private) and leased lines can and often are used in conjunction.

No.

You're making your posts overly verbose and filling it with terms that don't even relate to hide the fact that you're just spouting random nonsense.

I'm going to make this really simple. Yes, hops effect your connection speed, but hops are something that is a result of your ISP, SE cannot control or improve them. While they effect your speed, the real problem with latency is coming from the DISTANCE of the the servers. They are far away, really far for most of us. The only way to solve this is to add new servers that are closer.

The fact is that Yoshidas statment, "The players will have a choice of selecting a server based in their region or a server overseas" doesn't have anything to do with peering, leased lines, or any other crazy things that don't relate to the issue. The thing that got everyone confused is the term "data center," and it's been explained many times now that a data center is just a building that houses servers. The only reason why Yoshida didn't elaborate further is because they were short on time.

Some of you feel strongly against this happening, and you want to believe is isn't. I can't do anything more to convince you, so I guess you'll just have to wait and see.

Actually I've been pretty detailed, considering I'm replying to a crappy troll on some forums. Apparently you don't know how ATM works or what it is. (In before Hurr durr Automated teller machine article on wikipedia)

Just noticed something else. Why is it all the troll posters tend to originate from the Sargatanas server? Seriously? Is it some weird conspiracy? Back when idiots where necroposting in 2 year old threads, or mass spamming topics. Mostly all Sargatanas players. Not that I'm generalizing everyone from that server. Just a weird observation.

"Hi, I can't win this argument, so you're a troll."

You are just unbelievable. I've seen a lot of people full of it on the internet but you take the cake. The simple fact is, what is causing the latency issue is the distance from our clients to the servers in Japan. The only way to fix that is to bring new servers to our region, and that's exactly word for word what Yoshida said he was going to do. Hops are a result of your ISP, and SE can't do anything about it. Everything you have said in this thread has been based on fiction, and a general lack of understanding of how the internet works.

I am bawling over here!

I understand that you are upset over the change but there's no need to cry over it.

Yea apparently he doesn't know what meet me rooms, carrier hotels or wire centers are either. Major fail.

I've won the argument and refuted all the misnomers and fallacies that you've presented with hard data and factual information. This will be my final reply to you. There are several others who have agreed with me thus far, and will continue to after my final reply. I guess you can never admit that you're wrong. All you insist on doing is calling into question my 12 years of experience in the industry. I guess you still didn't look up what ATM is yet. Its exactly what I described to you. While its an older technology its very much heavily in use and allows you to bind virtual circuits called PVCs to physical circuits Those PVCs can be assigned bandwidth limits and other traffic shaping rules.

Sounds like you need to also read up on the OSI model is because in any of your assertions you really fail to comprehend the differences between Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing. I mean the OSI model is the basic of basic. Its whats taught day one in entry Cisco certification courses. Sooo. Yea bye.

The only place you've won this argument is in your own mind. Using other peoples opinions doesn't help your case, there are several people who have agreed with me as well hence my likes vs yours. You haven't provided any facts, and anything you've tried to pass off as a fact I've easily disproved with actual links to the information that proves it false even. All you've done is throw around a lot of terms that don't even relate to the topic in a frivolous attempt to try to convince people you know something about it when you obviously don't. Based on the accusations you've been making and the structure of your posts not only am I thoroughly convinced that you don't have 12 years experience as a "Network Engineer" as you claim, but I seriously question if you've even spent 12 years on this earth or not.

I'm glad to see you've conceded the point and decided to stop posting. It's better that this sort of misinformation isn't spread to others. I expect that we won't be seeing your face around here anyway after regional servers are in fact implemented.

There you go throwing around random terms again that don't even apply. I thought you said you were going to save yourself the embarrassment and stop posting anyway.
