Hello,
yesterday i was so ashamed that i'm very close to quit the game as i'm to a deadend.

I live in Greece and i play more games than FFXIV.
All games i play my ping and latency is normal, i never had issues.

But yesterday i went to COIL with some friends and i had to silence Ads.
You cannot imagine how much lag i had during the fight. Sometimes i even freeze for 2-3 seconds and then i see things running and of course either i'm into aoe or missed my silence.

We stayed there for 1 hour and i was so ashamed that my lag was missing most of the AOE that i needed to dodge or my silence.

Suddently someone asked me how is my connection with Canada. So this is the moment that i found out that all servers are hosted in Canada even they state RAGNAROK EU LEGACY. If that is true - indeed i know GREECE->CANADA connection is not the best.

So some questions :
1. Is there really anything i can do to improve my lag spikes, so game is playable again? It's bad to see everything delayed and not being able to do your duty in time.
2. Is there actually any server hosted in Europe? I dont mind moving to another shard as long it's hosted in Europe and i dont have those lag spikes.
3. I was told to minimzie my graphics settings. I can imagine this will improve my FPS but i dont understand how is going to make better my lag. I did it anyway and joined a test Ifrit run so i could interrupt. Again i missed 2 interrupts of Eruption from the whole fight cuz of lag.

PS. Please dont ask me if i have a connection problem or downloading or youtubing. I'm very good aware and i dont have any other activity that is sucking my internet bandwidth when i play.

THank you all.
