Data Centers/World Locations Info from the LIVE Letter

[Gentaro]

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

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.
