Data Centers/World Locations Info from the LIVE Letter

[Rokien]

So, we've got people responding directly to S-E regarding a post that's going to change something in the game, whining, if you will, then people who are whining about people whining.

Seriously, if you have nothing to add to the team, praise them for their decision and go on your way. You are satisfied costumers who are complaining about other customers not being satisfied. Get the fuck off.

We don't need this shit. We don't need people who got what they wanted constantly bashing on how we feel about this and how much of a non-issue our feelings are. We are not arguing with YOU. We are talking to the dev team. Go play the game. Go farm Atomos. Go do whatever the hell you want.

Well in there defense, I did warn everyone WAY before this announcement. You guys had your chance to speak up then.

I'm calling you out on your appeal to tradition, which means that you're arguing with a logical fallacy, which means that your argument is invalid.

I'd love to see you defend the implementation of Moogles, Chocobos, Malboros, etc without appealing to tradition. They chose to do a series game with 13 installments before it. They have no reason to add a lot of stuff XIV has besides the fact "Fans have grown accustomed to it".

Wow, really? Really?

And just who would I have to defend it against? You?

Please realize what an appeal to tradition is about, and I'll tell you that even if someone complains about implementing a classical FF staple, I would never resort to a "well because we've always had chocobos" argument.

Because that is what happens when you learn about formal errors of reasoning and logical fallacies. You stop resorting to such arguments.

Nostalgia factor.

There. I didn't resort to a fallacy.

Maybe people would read your thoughts on relevant topics if you didn't post so much bullsh*t in 248729 other threads.
Now back to your hole with you.


The statement about the data centers was unclear from the beginning, but hardly anyone could believe that SE would eliminate one of the key-features of their game, which make it so unique and lovable.

There are other games with servers located in Japan - none of them has lag issues as XIV does. Fix your code instead of ripping apart the community. And if its fixed already, screw those data centers.

Good grief it wasn't 'unclear' They said from the start there WOULD be regional servers, nothing ambiguous about it. We already have a regional server already (Ragnarok), its happened, it will happen again, again and again. The only difference compared to what we have now is there, heaven forbid, actually having servers people can play with less lag instead of getting a sub par experience for a specific subset of the world population (They were asking for this as far back as FFXI for goodness sake, it wasn't eliminated in that game either but people 'coped' with it, or did we suddenly forget about the "JP Button" that went around when FFXI first released in the US). Servers are not getting segregated, no one is forcing you to leave, no one is forcing your friends to leave, nothing more then what happened when Ragnarok was introduced. Furthermore if content finder is done well it should be possible to play with friends on other servers anyways, it just means you won't be in the same linkshell or free company anymore. And if that matters so much to you about segregation you can make another character on the split server so you can always converse with your friends. Some of us wanted this from the start, way back before FFXIV even released and it became the mess it was.
