Do you think regional servers will help?

[Tonkra]

the main issue of the lags in FFXIV is not because the servers are located in Japan.. its about the game client and server structure. Quesse has described it quiet good.

Play action paced MMorpgs like Phantasy Star Online 2 (servers located in japan as well) and you'll see that you wont experience a huge lag like in FFXIV.


the gamescom 2012 demo was played on Japan server as well, and as you have seen it was quiet fluent. no comparison to now. Best example that these huge lags were caused by the "shity" client and server structure is the recent atomos event.
when many people want to teleport at one place at the same time, it takes up to some minutes some times. that has nothing to do with the latancy and the distance between user and server location.


the latency in MMorpgs is not that important like when you want to play an egoshooter. but i think and im sure its a complete misbelief when you say the main issue is about server location. no its not.



Ask JP players how they experience the delays. they also have these delays when selling items or what ever, although the server is located in japan. Japanese players also have massive delays.
