Yoshida-san - GLOBAL Servers and Balancing Tweaks Instead of Regional Servers

[Kuzak]

Those of you arguing against local datacenters are really, really silly.

Enjoy your lag on remote servers.

Enjoy your lag as you log into any MMORPG as lag will always exist.

Of course it will.

But by selecting a datacenter that's closer to my location, it will help to reduce the lag to where it's negligible.

I'm not a masochist.

That's not the case here though, the vast majority of the lag in FF14 is caused by SE's piss-poor sorry excuse of a POS server design. If that's not changed, it wouldn't matter if you're playing FF14 next door to the datacenter, you'd still have shitty lag.

Conversely, if that's fixed, then creating regional servers as a method to combat the current lag problem becomes rather pointless, as they would no longer exist.

Yes, I understand that as well. What I was referring to was the new infrastructure that will be coming with 2.0.

What are you talking about? Everything will be damn near realtime for these regional server guys. TRUE STORY!

Indeed, in World of Warcraft I used to play on Blackrock server, which was on the Los Angeles Datacenter IIRC, and I never had any issues with lag.

Local Datacenters are a beneficial change.

I used to play FFXI on a Japanese server (Only servers) and I never had any issues with lag.

Nice, Shiva wasn't too bad either.
