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

[Alhanelem]

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.

Except, that's being fixed too.

Less server response delay + lower ping = hallelujah!

You really don't get it do you? I'm convinced you're just ignoring the point I brought up earlier because you keep responding in the exact same way, you're on auto-pilot or something.

Yes, I do get it, that's why I keep stating it. I don't expect my friends-of-friends-of-friends-of-friends to take any particular action. The chain ends somewhere. The loss to me from my 3rd friend's 4th friend's 6th friend is minimal. I can handle that without losing sleep, play the improved less laggy game for 5 minutes, and forget about it. For nearly all of us, these arent close, real life friends that we're moving from. And if I really feel a need to reunite, I can always create a character on the world they went to.

Friends get broken up by world merges and server transfers just the same, even if we don't label or regionalize servers. It's a fact of life, suck it up and deal with it or don't play the game.
