Love all the exaggeration about server lag, there is lag in the game and but majority of it is caused by the core engine that tries to confirm everything server side, this was a feature they added to counter RMT but ended up screwing everyone else over it, SE admitted it and said that was one of the main reasons they are changing the engine. You guys make it sound as if the server lag is so bad that if u try to move the game crashes. Also your right you did pay for it, but you payed for a international/global mmo so you should get the best possible experience for a international/global MMO. Based on your justification, i should be able to buy a FPS game and complain its not a racing game.

Now THIS doesn't make sense, how the fuck did you get my post to "Based on your justification, i should be able to buy a FPS game and complain its not a racing game."?

And you have no idea how much lag I suffer from this game, getting R0 all the time, so don't give me that shit about exaggeration.

No one of us have played ARR and no one knows how bad the lag will be for a EU player on a JP server, sure you can say it went alright when yoshi played it at gamescom but they were like 4 players on the server. How do you think it would have been if there were thousands online?

All the servers are still international, you can play on any of the servers but who are you to decide if I should play on a server based in Japan or one in EU? If I can get the best possible experience by picking the server in EU then I should be able to pick the server in EU no matter what the original idea Tanaka had. You gotta remember that this is a new game with a new producer. If you want to stay on your server, stay on your server, if your friends want to change to a server at their location they should have every right to do so.
