LOADSTONE UPDATE

Hmm... North America/Europe. Is the server in America or Europe then?
I wonder if there will be a difference in latency for Oceanics between the JP or NA servers...

Here in New Zealand i found it faster to connect to N/A than EU or JP not by much but it makes a difference in some games!

It shouldn't have made a difference, because all the old servers were in Japan.

We will want to test the pings of various locations during beta phase three.

I don't want everyone segregated D: I wanna play with people from all walks of life around the world like in 11! True adventuring comes from mingling with different people not all the same.

not being forced to move but people will move just to get as lagless as possible.

For those in Oceanics area, players been using the SE regional site servers to ping and get an idea of latency. It is believe that the NA/EU server location is in Montreal but not confirm since there were news of SE opening a datacenter in Montreal. Here are the addresses that other people are using to get and idea of posible latency.

square-enix.montreal.com / 184.107.107.167
eu.square-enix.com / 209.130.141.243
jp.square-enix.com / 202.67.53.202

Maybe some of you guys can ping from your locations and post the results to help everyone else decided which server to go to.

tracert -d IP ADDRESS HERE or name.com the address to to see which one has less hops or less places for the packet to travel is also helpful

yeah JP servers i already know how great they are.... Ifrit for example Hey look a crack, run a mile away, im dead........
But in all seriousness you'd be suprised what difference in speed there from general server tests. N/A is by far the fastest to connect with. EU isn't worth my time & jp is bearly average for connect speeds.
i'll cheak speeds & pings in phase 3 tho to be 100% sure.

I believe all servers have the same latency regardless of which regional server you access the game from

" Senior Vice President Hiromichi Tanaka, “The game system itself copes with all the lag so it doesn’t matter which region the players are accessing the game from–it’s not going to affect the user’s game play experience.” Kurosawa chimed to further alleviate concerns, “Yeah, it will be fair to everyone. Lag is normally not so much the distance, it’s the number of people in an area...” --- Interview 2010, PC Gamer at E3
