Really sick of the EU latency problems

[kidxdynamite]

Why on earth is SE's EU datacenter not actually located in EU?

Every night from 7-11pm myself and many others have massive instance lag where the game can freeze for 30 seconds+ For example titan phase 1, i froze for 2 landslide / stomp rotations (was in a good spot luckily).

It's not my isp/pc and i get massive latency timeouts when doing a pingtest or traceroute.. Can't even raid with my FC because of it..

SE ffs spend a few bucks and make an EU datacenter.. Any other MMO i play i never have this problem (they have EU dc)

I'm EU and I've never had this problem.

WoW if you have no problem im sure everything is fine then!

It's certainly something to think about. None of my EU friends have had huge latency issues either.

Sorry for the post in general its just rather fustrating. i live in norway and it seems its people from norway and some other countries that have the problem. it's every night and.. well ya..

And I have plenty of friends that have them. What does it mean? Just that you have lucky friends and I have unlucky ones.

I only have problems with the servers where instanced areas are located. Otherwise it's fine (I'm on Ragnarok, live in the EU).

Unless Odin pops.
Good luck with that.

If you are with BT on an old contract, they do something weird with P2P, I had 2 friends with this exact same issue, same times too and they both upgraded to new contract and issue was fixed instantly, basically they manage p2p on old contracts and limit things but on new ones they are not allowed, not too sure how other isp's work in regards to P2P

Slow you roll just because the data centers are in North America doesn't mean every person in North America gets great latency as well. In fact I live about 3000 miles away from the data servers because I live in the state of Washington. If you live in London the distance to the data centers is about 3200 miles.

Any players in the EU who say there is no problem are just blind fan boying. Sorry but it's as simple as that. I have this problem, everyone I have ever spoken to has it. Does it cause a huge problem for me? No. But once PvP is introduced, we're going to be at a disadvantage. Even the cheapest F2P MMO's have EU data centres...

In 1.0, there wasn't any NA servers. Yoshi-P said how unfair this is and everyone praised him for implementing them. Now, us EU's need servers and SE don't care. Is our money not as good as theirs or something?
